10 profils d’éleveur

Use the breed and town filters above to explore British Columbia breeder profiles. Compare each program’s location, the health testing completed on the parents, the temperament the breeder aims for, and the written contract and support offered after a puppy goes home.

Listings span the Okanagan, the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and northeast BC. If your town has no matching profiles, clear the location filter and keep your preferred breed selected. Before arranging a visit or collection, discuss the journey with the breeder, including any ferry travel or overnight stop. Confirm current litters and waiting lists directly; a profile does not mean puppies are available today.

Where to start your BC breeder search

British Columbia listings are concentrated in a few regions rather than spread evenly across the province, so it helps to search by area as well as by breed. In the Okanagan, Kelowna has two German Shepherd programs — Lojack Sport Dogs and Clarknberg German Shepherds — while Traveling Gypsy Corgis (Pembroke Welsh Corgis) is listed in West Kelowna. In the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley you will find Pureheart English Springer Spaniels in Langley, TONOFDAL Dalmatians in Chilliwack, and Gellert Kennel in Rosedale. On Vancouver Island, Coast Mountain Entlebuchers is based in Courtenay, and in northeast BC Crucible Mastiffs is listed in Taylor. Not every breed or city has a listing here, so if your breed is not represented, widen your search by breed first and be prepared to travel or wait for a future litter.

Questions to ask a British Columbia breeder

Which breed-specific screening was completed on both parents, and may I see the results?
What temperament are you breeding for, and how are the puppies raised and socialised before they leave?
Is there a written contract, and what help do you offer if we ever cannot keep the dog?
If the puppies are represented as registered, which registry, and what paperwork will we receive?
What is your current availability or waitlist, and how are travel or collection arrangements handled from our part of BC?

Common questions from BC buyers

How do I find a breeder near Vancouver or Victoria? This BC directory currently includes programs in Langley, Chilliwack and Rosedale for a Lower Mainland search, and a Courtenay listing on Vancouver Island. There are no Vancouver or Victoria city listings in the current set. Decide on a breed first using Dog Breeds or the Breed Matchmaker, then contact the closest programs for that breed.

Isn't registration enough on its own? Registration records a dog's pedigree with a registry — it does not describe health screening, temperament, how a litter was raised, or the support a family receives afterwards. Review those practices yourself and ask for the documentation behind any claim.

Where can I confirm current puppy availability? Always with the breeder directly. Litters, waitlists and timing change constantly, so use the contact details on a profile rather than assuming a listing means puppies are available today. Puppy Academy can help you prepare while you wait.
