Breeder Referrals

Looking for a specific breed of dog in the Greater Birmingham, AL area? There may be a BKC member with the very breed! Contact our Breeder Referral Chair, Wayne Senior, with the breed you are looking for. Please include:

Plans for dog (pet, show, obedience, field, hunting, etc.)
Preferred sex of dog (if you have a preference)
Preferred color of dog (if you have a preference)
Time frame you want to get the dog
Have you owned the breed before?

Please realize that we are not a placement service. We request the above information to help us in directing you to helpful sources and possibly names of breeders with the breed and type of dog you are looking for. Be sure to check with your desired breed's "parent club" too!

Be sure to check out your potential breed thoroughly before you decide on that breed! There are MANY things you should consider, for starters:

How much time do you have to devote to your potential new dog?
How much room will your dog have to live in? Apartments and other condensed living areas are seldom suitable for dogs other than small breeds.
Do you have a safe, fenced yard for the dog to play and exercise in?
If you have other dogs, how likely is it that they will accept the new puppy? Are the breeds compatible? (Not sure? Ask us and also talk to your vet).
Can you afford health care? It takes more than a rabies shot!

Want a pup, but aren't sure what breed is right for you or just want to see what all is out there?
