CHECK OUT YOUR BREEDER AS WELL AS THE BREED OF PUPPY YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IF YOU AS THE CONSUMER AND I AS THE BREEDER BOTH DO OUR PART WE CAN STOP THE PUPPY MILLS
HERE ARE SOME BASE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR BREEDER
1 HOW LONG HAVE YOU RAISED, SHOWN, OWNED THIS BREED
2 TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF THEIR TRAITS (If you have done your research you will know if they are telling the truth)
3 HOW MANY BREEDS DO YOU RAISE ( if they have 500 different breeds you better find out how much kennel help they have)
4 HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU HAVE (Again lots of dogs mean lots of care is needed not a bad thing to have lots of them just a bad thing for 1 person to try to take care of a whole lot of dogs
5 WHAT KIND OF TESTING DO YOU DO? WHY? OR WHY NOT?
6 DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACT (and what is expected of me in purchasing a puppy from you)
7 DO YOU HAVE REFERENCES
8 ASK FOR PICTURES OF PAST PUPPIES AND PARENTS
BE AWARE THAT THEY WILL ASK YOU QUESTIONS AS WELL
1 HAVE YOU EVER OWNED A DOG BEFORE?
IF YES WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?
2 HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE NOW?
3 DO YOU HAVE A PROPER AREA TO KEEP THE DOG?
4 DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A DOG CAN BE AS MUCH AS 15 TO 20 YEARS (Are you ready for a lifetime commitment?)
5 DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO BREED?
6 TRAINING CLASSES ARE SOME TIMES REQUIRED Are you ready for the time and money spent?
7 MOST OF THE TIME WE AS BREEDERS DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A PUPPY RIGHT NOW ARE YOU WILLING TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT ONE?
lacking of availability of puppies here at Cloud Walker Kennel
we will no longer "hold" a puppy with out a deposit
I do try to be prompt in answering emails and response
from my prospective puppy people
if you inquire of a puppy and I have one available you may put
a deposit down with Paypal to hold that puppy
I will no longer hold a puppy 2 or 3 weeks for your decision
Not fair to the next person in line, the puppy or to me in placing quality puppies in wonderful homes, to wait on your decision .This does NOT pertain to those who are waiting for a litter to be born
