 checking out a breeder
I've not heard of this breeder - but anytime you are thinking about buying a puppy - ask the breeder if she would give you her vet's number for a reference. If she won't give you the vet's phone number or says that he vet does not want to be called - then that is a major red flag that you should not buy from her. If she will give you her vet's number, make sure you can look it up and confirm that it really is the number of a licensed vet then call the vet and ask about the Breeder's character, how her parent dogs are cared for, and how she raises her puppies. Any breeder should work very well with their vet so that they and their vet are happy to have you call to check the breeder out. Make sure you really feel good about what you are doing before you go through with any transaction. If she is a good breeder, she would agree with that. |
