I do have them remove their shoes, use hand sanitizer , and the dog they bring has to be up to date on their shots or have regularly been seen by a vet. I also only start allowing visitors after the pups have had their first vaccinations. Not everyone does it the same way I do but this gives me some piece of mind as to what type of home it will be. |
Every potential new owner must come to my home. I must meet them in person before I decide whether or not they are worthy of having one of my pups. As a matter of fact several visits are required prior to me making my decision.
However, one of my first questions to a potential new family is: May I visit "your home".....so, you see it's a two way street. It's the new family picking the "right breeder" and the breeder picking "the right family" for their pup. Bottom line it's about the dog.
