I am looking for a breeder in Arizona or southern California.  While I would not be getting a puppy for at least six months, I would like to start getting in contact with a breeder.

I am looking for a puppy to be solely a pet and would not be used for hunting or show. I already have a three year old female and want a male puppy because she gets along better with males.

Has anyone has good experience with breeders in this area? Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
