They should be willing to help you my alist of puppy buyers and pics of past puppies etc but most of all make sure they gaurntee that puppy! They shoud have a contract you wll sign and they will sign, Hope this helps, Thanks Denise  in this day and age thier are alot of scammers out their so do be careful, bet wishand good luck  |

You are right, not just in your state either. The AKC is the only registry that does routine unannounced inspections, and with so many of us concerned about the puppy mill situation this is good to know.
