The fastest way I have found to "weed" out breeders was ask what background, lines or pedigree they have. Most will say.. uhhh they're registered.. Lets me know immediately that they have not done the research or testing and they certainly aren't looking to breed quality. The background gives us an idea of any defects that line might carry, as well as the quality
It drives me crazy to see someone selling sickly looking puppies for so much money, and their guarantees only protect themselves.. not the puppy or the new owner!
So it is buyer beware.. Ask lots of questions about health, guarantees, backgrounds, etc. Breeders should be happy to help you in any way they can!
BTW I have to agree with Bama about the 2 breeder's mentioned. Personally I'd be leary. 8 weeks is too young too!
