I will also add that sadly i dont know many reputable breeders here, most i know are horror stories :(

Nah I completely get it! I spend over a year looking for reputable breeders for our pups. They're extremely rare and often finding them will require one to travel (sometimes across the globe) and spend ££££ (and even at that price point the breeder will make no money)

They are a whole different beast. Their animals almost never end up in shelters either because they require owners to give them back if they can no longer care for them for whatever reason.
