0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to the Foundations podcast.
0:04.6	I'm your host, Tony Peterson.
0:05.9	Today's episode is all about finding the best breeder for your next puppy.
0:14.9	You might not even really be in the market for a fresh recruit yet, but that doesn't mean you can't start thinking about that puppy and where it might come from.
0:24.9	When we think about the process of finding a litter, we often sell the whole thing a little short and we just focus on the type of dog we want.
0:32.0	But dogs, you know, like people, they vary a lot. And there are some red flags and some green flags that pop up all the time in the dog breeding world.
