| Re: Breeder question
If you didn't know where to look, you don't know enough yet to buy, not by a long shot. knowledge of the dogs and breeders are much more important than price.It sounds like you are looking for a pet, but buying sight unseen means your pretty well stuck with what you get in that crate. as said before the "champion bloodlines " sounds good to a new buyer, experienced buyers get very cautious when they hear that, it's a dead giveaway that nothing proven is up close in the breeding.
Get a pedigree at least of the parents with all health certs and check them out, get historys of previous litters from this sire and dam, people she has sold to, whats her standing with the breed clubs she belongs to, does she belong to any with a code of ethics, what does her contract say in regards to genetic faults, if it isn't in writting it doesn't exist.there are many threads in this forum dealing with finding the right breeder, and believe me, it's important |
