It all depends on where your puppy comes from
Choose a transparent establishment that allows you to meet the mother, presents the breeding conditions, provides the mandatory documents and details the health monitoring. Adoption through an association can be considered when the breed or a related dog is available.

Everyday costs
What about once they're home?
A price that seems too good to be true?
- A very low price without documents or a visit to the breeding facility should prompt caution.
- Ask for the veterinary certificate, identification, the information document and, where applicable, LOF supporting documents.
- Do not pay a deposit before having verified the seller's identity and the real existence of the litter.
- A puppy must not be transferred before the legal age and must be identified before the transfer.
FAQ
Your questions about price
Answers to common questions from prospective owners.
The commonly observed range depends on the pedigree, the breeding, health examinations and the puppy's destination. Initial expenses must be added, followed by a monthly budget for food, care, possible insurance and maintenance.
A reputable breeder presents the parents and their documents, explains their selection, socializes the puppies, shows the living conditions and provides the required documentation. They also ask questions about the future home and remain available after adoption.
Differences reflect, among other things, the quality of the bloodlines, results in shows or work, screenings, socialization, veterinary costs, the region and the rarity of available litters.
