By the list you gave, I tried to put them in order of importance.
During the initial conversation (usually over the phone), I find out if parents are on premises and what registration is. Then I ask to come over and see the pup. First and foremost, I want a healthy pup. I want to see the parents. After these two, then I check topline and bite as of which conversations are going on concerning health guarantees. Price comes in the end if I'm seriously interested. |
