1. Interviews
Buyers need to feel confident with the breeder of their new puppy.
To do this, make sure that you have talked on the phone with the
breeder. I will never place one of my babies only through email
conversation. I do not have my buyers fill out questioners, but listen
closely to what is being stated to me. You can learn more from a
person, by listening to them and their needs, then reading something
that was written on paper. My babies are living, breathing and loving
puppies, with unique personalities. I am looking for forever homes,
not foster homes. If the breeder is not willing to do this; RED
FLAG!!!!
2. Seller:
Does the breeder give you the impression that they know it all.
Breeders are normal people that need to be learning and improving
on their breeding programs. Are they willing to listen to you? You
may be a newbie, but you have things to contribute, and may have
read or heard something that the breeder did not know.
Communication is a two way street. Make sure you can get the help
you need, share things your baby just did, with the breeder. This is
a several year commitment. If the breeder can not listen: RED
FLAG!!!!
3. Visitations:
I encourage visits. I need at least a 24 hour notice, because I may
need to arrange things to be available at the time that fits best into
your schedule. If a breeder is not willing to do this; RED FLAG!!!!
4. Breeder-litters:
Find out how many litters they have at a time or yearly. If they have
several litters; how do they take care of them, keep the areas clean,
handle and love them. This effects the health and socialization of
your puppy. THINK: Is this a puppy mill situation! RED FLAG!!!!
5. Health of puppy
Has the puppy been checked by a veterinarian? Every puppy
should be checked over by a licensed veterinarian. The breeder has
experience, but not the degree to check over the puppies heart,
lungs, patellas, etc. Many breeders give their own shots and
dewormings to cut down on their costs of raising the puppies, which
there is nothing wrong with this. I personally take my puppies to the
veterinarian to get all my shots, but deworm my puppies with
medicine from my vet. I prefer to know that they are healthy and
growing properly. I also get regular fecal (poop) checks to make
sure they are free of parasites. Buyers get shot records, deworming
dates, fecal check information, and list of what needs to be done and
when. If the breeder is not willing to do this; RED FLAG!!!!
COMING: Guarantees, contracts, health testing, registration,
