Hmmmm 200.00??? JMO I wouldn't...frankly that price scares me...vet costs eventually...no health guarantee? Nope I'll pay more for a healthy pup with a health guarantee, again that's me.
I too bought from a byb (unknown to me at the time), but in hindsight there were many red flags...no papers, no health guarantee, the breeder was breeding more than one breed. Immaculate home, saw both parents, but nothing written on paper. And a hefty price tag...I got lucky...both of mine are healthy and are now over a year old. I decided not to tempt fate again and researched like crazy before purchasing no. three.
The result was Jersey who is due to come home next week...shots up to date, written health guarantee, microchipped and full support for the life of the pup. Forgot full disclosure from her vet, she also has an open door policy..'come by anytime'. I fell in love with this breeder!
I took the advice I learned from this site and the wonderful people on here that told me buy your breeder first.
My researching took me almost six months...AND I am payin the same price that I had paid for my first two.....sorry to sound harsh but you get what you pay for. With no health guarantee you may be setting yourself up for heartbreak/and or high vet bills. |
