Good information to follow when looking to adopt a puppy. Always check out the breeder. Breeder should be transparent, and allow you to visit with the parents and puppies on site. If a pure bred pup make sure AKC registered. Make sure the breeder has all updated health records on the puppies parents etc.... puppies are current on their vaccines. You will pay more for a in home small hobby/boutique breeder then a larger possible puppy miller. When your a small breeder of one or two litters, each puppy is given undivided attention, best every day care and health care. Each puppy is monitored closely. Pet shops and brokers use puppy mills. Please stay away, health issues, and you contribute to the inhumane treatment of the breeding parent dogs. Best to pay more for a happy, healthy puppy from a private breeder. Save you a heart ache and money in the future. Beware for very low prices on high priced breeds. Low cost is either a scam or puppy milled dog. Your pet stores work with brokers. For example they will buy a Cavalier King Charles puppy for a very low cost, sell to the pet store. Pet store then charges adopter top price. Plus you have other cost associated with your purchase. Buyer beware cheaper. Low cost is not better. Visit and adopt from a private small breeder, worth it in the end.
