Ok, that's good, but what if someone IS considered a "good" breeder but has puppies in the house YEAR ROUND and at times, more than ONE litter? Is that acceptable or would that raise flags in your mind?

I also specified in my post that my 'ideal' breeder would be a 'hobby' breeder. Someone that has puppies year round does not qualify.
To me, a hobby breeder is someone that is passionate about their breed & producing dogs that exemplify the standard - in
every aspect. This person will be trying to develop a line, and will only breed when the possibility to strengthen it arises.
