LOL, just because this topic intrigues me so much.
The big one : What kind of questions should I ask my breeder?
- First and foremost, WHY do you breed?
The correct answer will always run along the lines of: a deep passion for the breed and the duty to further/better the breed.
- What kind of health tests do you perform?
An annual vet check does not mean anything.
- What kind of events do you do with your dogs?
The above relates to... How do you "prove" your dogs? How do you choose which dogs to breed and which ones to pet out?
- Do you provide a lifetime guarantee? If my dog should develop a congenital or hereditary defect, what will you do?
- If for any reason in my dog's lifetime I must relinquish the dog, will you take it back?
- May I see the parents?
Oftentimes, the stud dog is not on site. This is normal, but you should be able to see the mother. She should be happy and well fed.
- May I have references to past families?
- May I have references to your vet?
-To be continued...LOL. My brain is mush right now![]()
