Another thing to watch for is the health guarantee. The less reputable sellers will give you a "health guarantee" with tons of loop holes that they use to protect themselves. Many will say they will give you a new puppy if your dog is found to have certain genetic defects. Most of these defects are not found until the puppy is older. Would you want to give your puppy back after you have had it 6 to 11 months? I doubt it. Most people are too attached after only a few hours. Some guarantees promise the puppy will live 24 to 48 hours and if it dies you have to have an post mortem done to find the cause of death to get your money back or another puppy.
Just another thing to watch for. |
