  Breeders
  
   To find a good breeder near you, contact your local breed club to see
   if they keep a list of affiliated breeders. Some clubs have a code of
   ethics for member breeders; others do not. Membership or presence on a
   club list of breeders does not automatically confer reputability. You
   must check with each breeder individually and see if they meet your
   standards.
   
   Even if the local breed club does not keep a list of breeders, you
   will still be able to come into contact with local breeders and you
   should get to know them if you are serious about getting a Flat-Coat.
   Taking the time now in this respect will stand you in good stead when
   you actually get the puppy -- you will know who is having a litter,
   you will know what you are looking for, and the breeders will know you
   as someone sincerely interested in a puppy and a good prospective
   owner to boot.
   
   A breeder's list is available from the FCRSA, but as with any such
   list, it is up to you to determine if a breeder is the one for you.
