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. |
I don't know what you see that is so fishy about this? I bought my Lola in August, she was 10 months old at the time and on her 3rd home. This lady had bought her a WEEK prior as a birthday gift to her self and realized that she was more work then she had expected. She was just selling her for the cost of vets fees for shots, etc.
And I think it DOES matter where the dog comes from and if they take care of their home. If you go to someones house and it's a huge mess, your first impression is that they are not people who take care of themselves, higher chances they don't take care of their dogs.
