Puppy Searcher - Essential Considerations
- Never buy your puppy on impulse. Your new puppy will quickly become a much loved member of the family. You must select the right breed for you and your family.
- The bonus of selecting a pure bred dog is that they generally have predictable
characteristics, temperament and needs.
- All puppies are cute and cuddly, but as adults they may not be suitable for your family life, for this very reason many dogs sadly end up in rescue centres and need re-homing, even put to sleep!
- Please Choose carefully to help us stop this from happening, be a responsible dog owner.
You must seek veterinary advice with regard to the possible health issues relating
to your chosen breed, also find out costs of immunisation & micro-chipping.
- We strongly recommend Pet Insurance.
Questions to discuss with the breeder:
- Will this breed suit my home & family’s needs?
- How often will the dog need grooming or clipping?
- How do they get along with other animals?
- How do they get along with children?
- How much exercise do they require?
- How long can they be left alone at home?
- How much socialisation and training is required?
- How big will he get when matured?
- How protective will he be?
- What possible health problems might this breed develop?
- What registration documents does the puppy come with?
Other considerations
- When you go to view the puppies check that the mother of the puppies is available.
- Always obtain a sales receipt, detailing responsibilities of the buyer and seller, and any pedigree or registration documents.
- It is ‘you’ the buyer's responsibility to view and vet vendors and to be totally satisfied with their intended purchase prior to entering into a contract or sales transaction with the vendor, after seeking specialist veterinary advice and investigating fully the suitability of the breed.
- We run strict members only policy and to view the contact information of adverts you are required to upgrade your membership and pay £3.00 for 3 breeds, strictly no refunds are given.
