Is there a credible on-line website to shop for a puppy dog with papers?

Q:

A: First of all, no dog should ever be purchased from a website... It's not like ordering a sofa from Crate & Barrel... It's a living creature that will hopefully have a long and healthy life in your household.To find an AKC-registrable dog, you should probably check the breeders listed on the "(dog breed) Club of America" since they're "supposed" to adhere to ethical standards, but, most importantly, you also want to check that they properly health screen their dogs, at the very least checking "hips, spines, patellas, etc." on the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation of America) website at www.off.org, as well as getting the eyes tested (CERF-certification), as well as screening for Von Willedebrand's Disease, Bruscellosis, and countless other congenital defects and inherited diseases... Following your own searches on all these sites, you can then contact breeders and find out whether they have puppies for you to view, or have impending litters planned... Take your time... Learn as much as you possibly can about the breed in terms of conformation, temperament, and even gazes... The more you learn about the breed, the better chance you'll have of selecting a healthy dog.
