Breeder was willing to let a puppy go to a new home at 9 weeks!! Don't think this is right...opinions?? From our research, we've found that 12 weeks should be the minimum, correct??
This same breeder (who *does* have a website...) also would not let us visit to look at the puppies. She told us that we could only visit if we were going to buy a puppy or put down a deposit. I don't think it sounds "on the up and up"...... Opinions on this??
Still searching for our first Yorkie Baby...... (sigh!) |
You are absolutely right. Even the worst of breeders has a flashy website so don't be fooled by that. A good breeder will wait a minimum of 12 weeks to release a puppy and NO good breeder would stop you from meeting your puppy! That is a BIG RED FLAG. What is the breeder trying to hide? The best breeder wouldn't allow their pup to go to a home without meeting/talking to you first. If the $ is all they care about you can be absolutely sure that this breeder is most likely skimming corners to try to save a buck...as many people say here buy the breeder first not the pup! All puppies are cute but not all breeders are ethical!
