Green flags of a great breeder
- Happily lets you meet the puppy’s parents and see where they’re raised.
- Provides health records, vet checks, and a written health guarantee.
- Asks you thoughtful questions — they care where their puppies go.
- Stays in touch for the life of the dog and will always take a puppy back.
Questions worth asking
Ask about the parents’ temperament and health, how puppies are socialized, what vaccinations and vet care they’ve had, and what ongoing support you’ll receive. A confident, caring breeder will welcome every question.
