Does anyone here

Have the list of questions to ask a reputable breeder? I can't find mine

TIA

Re: Does anyone here

Are you a member of the Breed Parent Club, and do you follow the Parent Club Code of Ethics? Do you have a copy of the Code of Ethics I could review?


Do you belong to any breed clubs or breed organizations?


How many different breeds of dogs do you breed? How many litters of each breed do you have in a year? And at what age do you breed your dogs?


What are the known health problems with this breed, and what steps are you taking to minimize the chance of those problems occurring in your litters?


What criteria (tests, accomplishments) do you require of your breeding stock, and why?


Do you have test results (like OFA papers for testing hips) on both parents that I could review?


What requirements must a puppy buyer meet to receive one of your puppies?


Do you require a contract? If so, what are the terms and guarantees? What does your contract say about hereditary problems?, type of registration (limited or full)?, about spaying and neutering?


Do you take your dogs back at any time in their lifetime if a pet owner decides he or she no longer wants the dog?


At what age do you place the puppies in their new home and will the puppies have had their first set of vaccinations before placement?
