-No pics or description on their studs and bitches (maybe you'll meet them there??)

Overall, I find it lacking of information. They do recommend neutering which I think is a plus, but I am a little disappointed that they don't recommend an age. It is my belief that a breeder (a good one) will know to recommend that a pup be fixed after all the adult teeth are in (at about 6 months) so that any retained teeth can be extracted at the same time the pup is under to be fixed. They might provide this in a puppy packet, that I don't know, but I do think that one that cares and has a site offering information on puppies would put stuff like that up there regardless if the person is buying, will buy, or has bought from them. Some people look at breeders pages for answers to questions. Just my opinion.
Oh, side note, I find it funny that it's "LA kennel" and they're not in LA. Not a pro or a con, I just find it funny.  |
I agree there just isn't enough information to go by.
From what I see, they only have 3 breeds which isn't bad. And the fact that they won't mix them is a good sign. Plus you would think if they were a high volume breeder with lots of dogs they would have more than one puppy available.
Oh and it does say they offer a 1 year health guarantee and it sounds like they might even offer a money refund which is kinda rare.
They also don't ship which is a good sign as well, shows they really want to know the person and not just give it to anyone who pays.
I don't however like that they don't have any pictures of the adults and such little information on their setup and breeding practices in general.
It also doesn't mention at what age they let the pups go. That is very important and will tell you a lot about a breeder as well.
Again just not enough information. If you are really interested and you live close by check them out. If you feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable with things, walk away. There are definitely many breeders out there who are reputable and better to go with. Remember getting a puppy/dog is a serious commitment and shouldn't be taken lightly. You need to know your puppy is happy and healthy and will stay that way.
