Make sure the breeder offers a health contract, for genetic diseases. The parents should be free of any of these. Ask for references from previous puppy buyers. Definately go to the breeders home and see the parents and where the puppies are raised, it should be clean and the puppies should be involved in the family so they are socialized at a young age. The breeder should be willing to answer any question you may have, if they don't be leary. |
