Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
A serious breeder must present the dogs' living conditions, identification, pedigree documents and the health results of the breeding dogs. Adoption from a shelter or from a specialized association can also make it possible to take in an adult whose temperament is already better known.

What about once they're home?
A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price may hide insufficient socialization, an unverifiable origin, or the absence of health screenings.
- The LOF documents and the announced health results must be available for consultation before committing.
- The purchase must never be finalized without seeing the breeding conditions and, if possible, the puppies' mother.
