Choosing a RESPONSIBLE Breeder (Part 3)

* Is there a signed veterinary health certificate, plus a written health guarantee from the breeder, including one against congenital defects?

* Are ACVO eye screening and OFA or Penn Hip certificates completed, to avoid any future problems with the puppies?

* Does the breeder have a written contract available for you to sign, specifying the rights of the seller and also the breeder’s rights?

* Is all health information available and up to date?

* Can the breeder provide AKC or CKC registration papers on the puppy?

* What is the lineage of the puppies? A responsible breeder should be able to tell you lineage from generations back, as well as giving you a family tree of the puppy.

Responsible breeders will be able to help you find the puppy that is right for you and will be happy to give you tips on raising and caring for your new bundle of joy. As long as you find a responsible breeder, it’s a sure thing that you’ll find the perfect puppy.
