Today, we're looking at the top 21 questions to ask a breeder before adopting a purebred dog. Grab a notebook or, after watching the video, cut and paste the questions we’ve put in the notes below this video. • When considering adopting a purebred dog from a breeder, gather as much information as possible to know all you can about the dog's health and well-being. You also want to know that the breeder is reputable and responsible. • Here are some important questions to ask: • 1. Breeder Experience and Affiliations: • How long have you been breeding this specific breed? • Are you a member of any breed-specific clubs or organizations? • Can you provide references from previous buyers or veterinarians? • 2. Health and Genetics: • Have the puppy's parents been screened for common health issues in the breed? • Can you provide health clearances or certificates for the puppy's parents? • What vaccinations and health checks has the puppy had so far? • 3. Socialization and Care: • How do you socialize your puppies? • What environment are the puppies raised in (that is, are they raised in-home, a kennel, etc.)? • Can I visit, see where you raise the puppies, and meet the puppy's parents? • 4. Puppy-Specific Information: • Can you tell me about the puppy's temperament and any characteristics specific to this litter? • How do you match puppies to prospective owners? • What kind of food are you feeding the puppies, and what diet do you recommend? • 5. Contracts and Guarantees: • Do you offer a health guarantee for the puppy? If so, what does it cover? • Is there a spay/neuter agreement or any breeding restrictions? • What is your return policy if I cannot keep the puppy? • 6. Support and Follow-up: • Will you be available for questions or support after I take the puppy home? • Do you offer advice on training and raising the puppy? • How do you follow up with puppies and their owners after they leave your care? • 7. Ethics and Practices: • What are your goals in breeding this particular breed? • How do you ensure the welfare of your breeding dogs? • What happens to your retired breeding dogs? • These questions can help you gauge the breeder's practices and ethics and their puppies' overall health and temperament. A reputable breeder should be transparent, knowledgeable, and willing to answer your questions thoroughly. They should also show a genuine interest in the well-being of their puppies and the suitability of their new homes. • I am a dog lover and not an expert. If you have questions about adopting a purebred pup, speak to an animal care specialist. • Do you have stories to tell about how to pick the best breeder? What worked for you? Did I need to include any other questions? I hope you’ll share your thoughts in the comments. • I’m glad you’re here! If you like this video, please say thank you by subscribing.
