10 Dos and Dont's When Choosing a Puppy Breeder

When choosing a puppy breeder there are a few things that are important to remember and check before buying a puppy.

1. DO NOT purchase a puppy from a puppy mill or puppy farm, back-yard breeder or even a pet store. The puppies from these types of establishments are much more likely to have health and temperament or behavior problems.

2. DO NOT purchase puppies from the back of a van or off the side of the road. Many brokers will make excuses as to why they can't come to your home, or why you can't come to theirs.  This is how they operate.

3. DO NOT consider purchasing a puppy from someone who advertises more than one breed for sale.  They are most likely a ‘puppy broker’.  These puppies probably came from puppy mills.

4. DO ask for health testing.

5. DO ask to see the mother of the puppies.

6. DO ask for the pedigree.

7. DO choose a breeder that socializes their puppies in their home and is willing to have you pick up your new puppy in their home.

8. DO purchase puppy that is AKC registered so you are guaranteed that it is a pure bred.

9. DO work with breeders that have written contract and health guarantee.

10. DO purchase a puppy whose shots are up to date and have been examined by a licensed veterinarian.

All of our puppies meet the DO requirements and you can make arrangements to meet both the puppy and the mother in our home. Visit our website for more information and current puppy availability. Havanesepuppies.com
