Ensure you also research the kennels that you want to enquire about puppies from, as that can make a huge difference. Health checks must be carried out on all breeding stock and the appropriate code of ethics adhered to. Always ask to see the kennel area and dogs, check the dogs are approachable and that there is not a problem with temperaments.

These breeds are big boisterous dogs and temperament is of paramount importance.
