It all depends on where your kitten comes from
A declared breeder who presents the parents, the health results, the socialization conditions and the mandatory documents offers the best guarantees. Adoption from a shelter or through an association can also suit an experienced household after evaluation of the dog and verification of its legal status.

Day to day
And once at home?
A price too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price may conceal a non-compliant origin, insufficient socialization, or the absence of screenings.
- Check the LOF registration and the dog's exact legal status before any acquisition.
- Never buy without seeing the breeding conditions, the mandatory documents and, if possible, at least the mother.
- Plan for the costs related to regulatory obligations and training, beyond the purchase price alone.
