Be a responsible dog owner

Before deciding to purchase your puppy it is extremely important that you
think long and hard about making this  decision  .

Once you have identified the puppy you would like to make your own, we urge you to ask yourself the following questions:

• How much space does this breed require?
•  
•  Can I provide this space?
•  
• What level of exercise will this breed require?
•  
• What type of lifestyle does this breed require?
•  
• What are the grooming requirements of this breed?
•  
• What are the dietary requirements of this breed?
•  
• Does my rental property or body corporate allow dogs?

You can start by asking the breeder the following questions:

• Can I meet the puppy's mother and father?
•  
• If the breeder is interstate, does the Breeder have pictures available of both the parents?
•  
• May I see / visit where the puppies are raised?
•  
• What personality traits should I be informed about?
•  
• At what age can the puppy go to it's new home? (8 weeks old MINIMUM)
•  
• Are there any common health problems associated with this breed
•  
• What happens to your retired breeding dogs?
•  
• How many different breeds of puppies do you sell?
•  
• What is the average lifespan of the dogs?
•  
• What type of food do you feed your dogs?
•  
• Are your puppies and their parents fully immunized?
•  
• Are the puppies socialized at all before leaving for their new home,
•  
• Have the puppies had any interaction with children
•  
• Are you a member of any breeder associations or clubs? Why or why not?
• Can you supply references or testimonials?
•  
• Do you offer a health guarantee with your puppies?
•  
• Do you require all puppies purchased from you to be desexed?
•  

Most breeders will be all too happy to answer your questions in regards to the puppy you are interested in, and will be equally concerned about the new owner they are releasing their puppy to.

Both you and the breeder need to feel comfortable with each other to ensure the puppy has been looked after well, and will be in the future.

 PLEASE NEVER BUY A PUPPY FROM A PET SHOP OR MARKET  OR FROM AN UNREGISTERED   BREEDER .
 Ask to see an up to date   membership card . this will have there prefex name  on it .

 THIS WILL STOP  PUPPYS  AND KITTENS  FROM BEING DUMPED AND  PLACED IN TO THE  RSPCA  
 
YOU MAY PAY MORE FROM A REGISTERED BREEDER  BUT IN THE LONG RUN YOU WILL GET A HAPPY HEALTHY   PUPPY WITH A GUARANTEE   FROM BIRTH DEFECT  PAPERS  MICROCHIP   VACC AMD MUCH MORE 

       YOU DO NOT NEED TO SHOW TO BE A REPUTABLE BREEDER

I AM SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS  SOME BREEDERS 
 BUT ALL TRUE FACTS
