Is your standard of care above what USDA’s standard of care is and how ?
Do you ask buyers to stay in contact with you after the sale for update on pups ?
Will you offer support (for questions/help) after the sale ?
Do you have buyers referral and PH #'s ?

Have you ever have a dissatisfied buyer ?
Why? and what did you do to correct ?
Was the buyer satisfied with the way you handled thing?
If not why?
Are you willing to release the ph # of the dissatisfied buyer ?
Have you ever had a violations or registry problem ?

I agree with all questions except the USDA one. Most puppy mills hold USDA liscenses, so it really doesn't guarantee that you are buying from a quality reputable breeder.
The best defense is education. However, most new puppy owners are in a hurry to get their puppy. It's along time commitment....shop around, be thoroughly comfortable with your breeder. You should be buying a relationship.
