You can also suggest YOU do a home visit prior to letting one of the pups go...or better yet when they fill out the application if its close to you , you and hubby do a drive by to make sure its a real address.
I would deffinatly make phone calls prior to letting one of your pups go. |
Great post!
Joey's breeder asked me many questions over the phone before I got a chance to come see her pups. She wanted to know how I disciplined dogs, and I thought that was such a great question. You can learn lots about a person by what type of discipline they believe in. I would never place a dog with someone who I didn't feel right about having in my home. If you are having bad feelings about someone, please don't meet them elsewhere and sell them a pup. Most rescues screen homes thoroughly, and I always recommend breeders this as well. If someone looks elsewhere because you were too choosy, they wouldn't make a good yorkie parent anyway.
