Questions to ask before buying a puppy from a pet store?
I'm thinking of purchasing a puppy, I'm looking into buying from a breeder but it's hard to find one in my area ( I'd want to pick up the puppy myself and meet with the breeder before making a final purchase) although i know that the majority of pet shops are known for getting their puppies from pet mills, are there any questions i should ask if i end up buying from one? anything i should look out for that are definite signs of the puppies being mistreated?
Answer:
A responsible breeder will:
1) be breeding to the breed's standard..no teacup, micro, mini, imperial,
king, or other goofy term for runts or oversized dogs. No intentional
"rare", meaning unaccepted by the breed standard, colors either.
2) will be actively showing or working the parents.
3) will have genetic health testing done, such as OFA or PennHip, CERF,
VonWillebrand's, etc.
4) will give you the results of that testing in writing
5) insists on spay/neuter for pet pups.
6) has a contract citing the spay/neuter clause and also offering to take
back the pup at any time for any reason for the rest of its life.
7) is open, honest, and available to the new owner, and can talk aobut their
breed for hours.
does a home check before placing a pup, and will turn down homes that
might not be suitable for a pup of their breed.
9) does not put money above the well-being of their animals.
If the breeder you are considering doesn't fit these guidelines, find a
better breeder. You are more likely to get a mentally and physically
healthier pup from a responsible breeder.
Notice you will NEVER find a pet store that can even think aobut meeting this criteria.
