up to date on vaccination
those pups live with her family
i googled her/found on her on fb not a byb shes a professional nurse with kids and her house looks very pretty not that it matters but she doesnt look like she needs the extra money from yorkie business...
What QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK?
IS IT WORTH IT TO TAKE THE PUP TO THE VET WITH THE LADY? FROM WHAT IVE SEEN VET IN HOUSTON ARE SCAMMERS  pls help i need to make a decision about this cute pup. |
This is just me, but I would be really really cautious.
It doesnt matter if she is a nurse with kids and a nice house. People in all situations need money right now. I was told that people "selling puppies that were a gift.... or selling puppies for a friend who had the litter" is a huge red flag that the puppies are from a puppymill kind of situation. I would never buy a puppy without seeing the parents. I am also super over cautious......
Also, I don't know where you live, but I know that in some places it is ILLEGAL to sell a puppy without a breeding license, so beware of that. And 8 months old is a little old to be selling the puppies anyways. The whole situation just seems a little fishy to me.
How do you know this woman?
If the puppies are in perfect health and you take them to a vet and get a WRITTEN HEALTH GUARANTEE from the woman, then I guess what matters most is that the puppies are healthy. If you feel comfortable then that is great and it is your decision, but I think the whole thing sounds a little weird.
