Many here got their pups at the airport, never even meeting the breeder or seeing where the pups were born and raised. This just cannot be a good way to start what is supposed to be a 15+ year relationship with your puppy. Take the time to find a local breeder that you can go meet, see how they treat their dogs, see where the pups live (not just where they are shown to customers). Ask hundreds of questions and make sure all the testing was done on the parents, they are good representatives of the breed, there is a GOOD health guarantee (that provides more than just giving up your pup) and the breeder has a good reputation. Try to get as much info as you can BEFORE you see that pup. All pups look cute. It is hard to make a constructive decision when you re getting your hand licked by a precious ball of fur! |
I so agree with you. What further perplexes me how any breeder could actually sell their dogs via an auction site/classifieds/website. Willing to let their pups go to the highest bidder. These pups are living breathing creatures, not inadimate objects.
