I bought Jasper when he was 11 weeks old for $700. When I called the week before to see if he was still available I was told yes, there was a $100 deposit and I could pick him up anytime. She didn't ask any questions about the suttoundings he would be in, other animals, fence, etc. I did provide some of it on my own though. I bought him from a family in Brinkley, AR. Their website says they have been breeding for 17 years. Jasper was AKC registered and came microchipped and up-to-date on his shots. I had 72 hours to take him in for a vet wellness check. Other than that, there was no health guarantee. Of course, I didn't know that I had the right to have one from a rebutable breeder until I came to YT. Which was after the fact and I was already in love with my little man.
The parents were on site along with the littermates. There was a chain linked area in the back with several closed kennels. We heard no barking or anything though. We weren't looking either. I had asked a while back to have her site looked at for opinions because I was afraid I had done business with a byb. I think the concensus was that she wasn't...but could turn down that road very easily.
Anyway, this was a lot more information than you asked for. But that's how we came to have the most awesome, loving, little furbutt I think I've ever owned. He came to me at a time in my life when I needed someone to take care of and mother all of the time. He has lifted my spirits and helped to start digging me out of this depression I've been in for a long time now. But, that is a topic for another day. Thanks everyone for reading me babbling. I love being here. I get more comfortable everyday and that's a big deal for me.
