PLEASE
DO YOUR RESEARCH & AVOID PUPPY MILLS
Read
the following on how to select a Reputable breeder
Go to dog shows and talk to the breeders of the breed you are interested in. Ask
them for the names of the breeders that they would recommend. And ask them what
genetic testing and medical certifications should be done for that breed. When
you go to a breeder to buy a puppy ask these questions:
1. How many breeds of dogs do they breed. One is
good, two is probably acceptable, no more.
2. How many dogs do they have. Ask how many litters
they have every year. Ask how many puppies they sell and whether they sell any
to petstores.
3. Ask if you can see the dogs - all the dogs - not
just the puppies. Many puppymills have an area where they will bring the puppies
to show to the public and do not want you to see how their dogs live.
4. Ask what kind of genetic testing they have done
on the dogs. Ask what health certificates they have for the dogs.
5. Ask for the names of five people who have bought
puppies from them and then call the references.
6. Ask if the puppies are sold on a contract and
then ask to see the contract. Ask if there is a warranty. There should be one!
7. Ask whether the breeder will take back a dog
regardless of the age if you are unable to take care of it. This is standard
for a good breeder
8. Ask to see the pedigree and ask how many
champions there are in the lineage.
9.
Ask what they are trying to improve in their line with this
breeding.
10. Listen to whether the breeder asks you any
questions. If the breeder doesn't care about the home that the puppy would be
going to, then you don't want to buy from them.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, buy a dog in a
petstore. Research establishes that 98% of the dogs in petstores come from
what is considered to be puppymills. You are not saving that puppy, you are
sentencing it's parents to lives of misery.
