I would be very wary of anyone who seemed sketchy or defensive when you ask questions about the parents. Also, I don't think I would ever buy a dog without being able to see them and put hands on them. A breeder should be confident in their breeding stock and more than happy that you are interested in the lines the pups come from. Dogs are not always a spitting image of the dam and sire, but the parents (and other dogs along the line) have EVERYTHING to do with what you can expect from the dog as an adult. |
