A price too good to be true?
- A very low price without health documentation or identification should prompt caution.
- Ask for the breeders' screening results and verify the stated pedigree.
- Visit the breeding facility and observe the mother as well as the puppies' socialization conditions.
- Never pay a deposit without verifiable identity, a written contract, and precise information about the puppy.
