Most accountable breeders have waiting lists so you may be required to wait several months or a year or more to bring home a puppy.
Breeders have extensive knowledge about their breeds and their wisdom can be extremely helpful to their puppy families.
At a minimum, your puppy should come home with their first set of vaccinations, vet records and a unique identifier such as a microchip.
When discussing purchasing a puppy from an accountable breeder you should expect a thorough evaluation process.
Adding a new member to your family can be an exciting and patience-trying experience, but don’t let your anticipation of your new arrival let you forget that not all individuals selling dogs or puppies are accountable, reputable breeders.
