Most breeders in NA dock tails to meet the NA standard which we do not agree with. This breeder also provides a two year health guarantee. |
Sorry if it's insulting I was not intending to insult you. But it is the truth of the matter, you cannot guarantee that you are getting a purebred dog if you have no papers. You don't know where the dog "came from" and what kind of dogs are in the line. Of course you can't guarantee health either but a reputable breeder will have health tested all their breeding stock, did this breeder do all the testing? If she has had BOTH parents tested and can tell you about the grand parents of the parents then I would say you are dealing with someone a bit better but I still don't believe on letting babies go so early.
