Albany, NY.
Any advise is much appreciated.  Theresa |
This is what I go by when I go searching for a puppy...I make sure that I am able to go the breeder house to see where and how they live...along with the parents...after reading up on puppymills and hearing all these bad experiences for other YT members...I don't want to be in the same situation...
Some general question to ask breeders...
1. Vaccination/Worming
2. Health Guarantee - have it in writing
3. Health problems in family tree
4. Registration paper - depending if you care for paper or not...if a puppy is not registered they should be fairly cheaper than 1 that is...
5. Size - ask about parents weight, and esitimate on adult weight ( remember this is just an estimate but you can somewhat get a general idea off of the parents)
6. Color - if you are looking for a preferred color
I hope that helps you somewhat...and good luck on your search.
