Take your time in researching what a good breeder is all about and what breeding for the betterment of the breed actually is. It's going to take more than a week to do it.
Interview multiple breeders. They should be interviewing you, too in order to make sure you will be responsible with their babies. You are building what should be a long term relationship here, this isn't the time for speed dating. |
If a "breeder" is uping the price of a puppy due to size & advertising "teacup", "pocket" etc., pretty good indications NOT a reputable breeder. When placing a smaller puppy, a breeder needs to be extra careful placing only with experienced families. I have seen MANY puppies priced out of site due to size and families have NO idea the possible health issues with tinies.
