From what I did learn, you need and see where the puppy is raised, their enviroment and whether it is a clean place. Next you need to meet the puppies parents. I did this and I have a healthy Yorkie. His enviroment was clean, his parents were there on site and it looked like a well-maintained area, not a puppy mill. I asked a lot of questions and was there about an hour. I am happy and grateful I found a good dog. Good Luck in your search. |
Well Im doing my research. im reading a book right now and looking up info on the web. But how can you do what your saying above even if you get it from a shelter. 9 out of 10 i dont think they will have the parent to see and looking from the one site in my home town i think they get them from puppy mills
