When we have a litter of puppies, they are in a playpen (very large) if we aren't home. However, we also let them out to run and play as long as we are home to watch them.
Our puppies ALWAYS run up to meet and greet new people. They are never timid or shy. In my opinion, puppies should be curious and playful. They should not be crowded into small kennels.
Then again, I believe we are the exception to the rule when it comes to many breeders. We make sure all our puppies go home with all their shots, an Avid chip, flea & tick prevention, heart guard prevention, 1 year health guarantee, etc, etc. We treat each puppy as one of our children and have never, not once, had a customer that didn't love our puppies after they purchased them.
If you're uncomfortable when walking into a breeder's home/kennel, trust your first instinct, thank them for their time and tell them you'll pass. |
You should not be the exception at all...
No kenneling and 5 or 6 puppies in a cage?
Puppies need the stimuli to grow and develop right !
