Flags when searching for you next puppy
There are breeders who sell Puppies with full “Registration”
for more money, regardless of the quality or health of the pup, this is not how it works with a reputable breeder. Be wary of Continental Kennel Club registration as it is not recognized as a pure breed affiliation. Puppy mills use many registries to fool the buyer.
Pretty websites do not make a breeder reputable nor does
an AKC dog. Not all AKC dogs are good quality-remember “Fido” in
the pet shop down the road is AKC registered and he comes from a Puppy mill. Also
buying from Pet Stores only supports Puppy mills and Back Yard breeders, that is who supplies the stores despite the store
stating the pup comes from a home or a local breeder.
The Breeder tells you all her dogs are healthy and there
are no health issues in her lines. All lines/breeds carry issues and a good breeder
will be able to discuss this with you. They also should be able to PROVE their
health testing with paperwork from each source. Don’t purchase unless you
have proof of the parents health testing-to include at least for Cresteds-Cerf Exams, Optigen, Patella and heart.
Sells "Show Quality" while they have never shown themselves,
or all the puppies in the litter are show quality-this is false information.
Dogs that are bred every season
The breeder does not ask questions about the puppy’s
potential new home. Do you have kids,
a yard, any experience with a puppy. There are no contracts or very limited ones
for the health and life of this puppy. Reputable breeders will ask questions
and will also take their dogs back over its life time if your situation changes at any time.
Red Flags to breeders of multiple breeds.
Remember you are adding a new member to your family for many years.
Wouldn't you want to be able to talk to the breeder if an emergency arises or you need help.
