    I'm not from Alabama or anything (never even been there) but if your not looking for a "purebred" show animal, i would suggest that you check out [linkhttp://www.petfinder.com]www.petfinder.com[/link] . you can find shelters around your area that have some really good dogs that need good homes, you never know, maybe someone is waiting for you!

    There is a good Beagle breeder in that state. Not sure where in relation to that city tho. Aladar Beagles....she has a website you can google up. very nice lady with excellent hounds.
     
    Other breeds? I'm not sure but let me know some breeds and I can ask around...

    Ditto the petfinder.com
     
    If your looking for a specific breeder you may google the breed your interested in look for rescues, however they are some rescues on petfinder.com as well.
     
    google the breed and look for the breeder clubs you can get to know some of the members through events and word of mouth meet breeders.
     
    For example with corgi's heres a good linkhttp://www.pembrokecorgi.org/
     
    Good luck

    reputable breeders are best found using the club websites as a first step.  a trip to a dog show and a purchase of a catalog is another option to find out who is breeding what.  The real test is how much time you are willing to spend getting to know that person.  Anyone can get burned or burn you

    Since I am considering getting another dog, possibly another Shih Tzu, I am looking for a good breeder in NJ, preferably the northeast area. I've also considered petfinder and rescue. I want to keep all my options open. I got my first dog through a breeder who is no longer breeding dogs, but he's wonderful and I don't want to rule a breeder out totally, but I'm open to rescues, other breeds, and mixed breeds.[:)]
