Puppies For Sale

When Purchasing a Dog/Puppy via the Internet

1. Ask other breeders if they know or have heard of the breeder.

2. Ask for a copy of their Health Guarantee.

3. Ask for numerous current pictures covering all views of dog/puppy.

4. Ask the weight/height of the dog/puppy.

5. Ask for signed copy of Health Guarantee upon deposit/down payment.

6. Find out who pays shipping for returned dog/puppy.

7. What will the breeder guarantee in the way of the health of the dog?

Responsible breeders take every precaution to produce puppies that are free of genetic diseases. If something unforeseen DOES surface, a responsible breeder will normally have a system in place to deal with your special circumstances. This may include replacing your puppy with another one, refunding part or all of your money, and/or taking the dog back. All of these details need to be discussed prior to buying the puppy.

8. Will the breeder buy or take back the dog, if for any reason, at ANY time in the dog's life, you are unable to care for it?

Responsible breeders accept a lifelong commitment to the dogs they breed. No breeder wants to see one of their puppies end up in a shelter. The breeder should commit in writing to take the puppy back if you are unable to care for it, no matter what age the dog is. In return, they may ask YOU to commit in writing that you will not transfer ownership of the dog without contacting them first.

9. Remember, anyone can make a website look good.

A lovely website does not guarantee a good breeder or healthy dog.

Remember this important information:

The cheapest part of owning a dog is buying it! Although a high price is no guarantee that a puppy is a quality dog, don’t shy away from a well bred pup because of price. Often, the difference between a poorly bred dog and a dog bred by a reputable and knowledgeable breeder is a few hundred dollars. Purchasing a dog of lesser quality may lead to health problems that can lead to large veterinary bills and heartache. When you look at the lifetime cost of owning a dog, spending a little extra to buy a healthy and good-tempered animal from a responsible breeder is certainly an excellent investment.
