You can get vet references as well as other references; you want to check them out, as much as a rescue does. If you are producing pups, you are responsible for finding them a good home, and if you don't trust the people enough to even come to your home, you shouldn't sell them a helpless puppy. |
I TOTALLY agree... My home is ALWAYS open for the prospective new parents. I want them to see my home, my family, how the puppies are raised, the moms (I don't have any "daddy's here) and they are welcome to come by as often as they would like. It is important that the new owner and the breeder have a good relationship because they are now part of each others lives.. they get my puppy.. they get me! Like it or not, we're a package deal. LOL
