Not necessarily. Whether a breeder produces pedigree (purebred) or crossbred animals does not indicate whether they are a responsible breeder or have the welfare of their animals as paramount. There are many factors that can affect the welfare of breeding animals and their offspring that are unrelated to the breed of the animal.

RSPCA Australia has produced two documents to help identify responsible companion animal breeders and provide guidance to prospective puppy buyers.  Please see the articles How to find a good dog breeder and What is a responsible companion animal breeder? for specific information.
