Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
In practice, the highest prices most often correspond to declared breeders offering selection work, support and more comprehensive health monitoring. Offers that are clearly too low should prompt you to carefully check the puppy’s origin and the guarantees provided.

What about once they're home?
A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price should prompt you to check the identification, the legal departure age, the breeding environment, and the health guarantees.
- Always ask for the identification documents, the veterinary certificate, and information about the parents.
- A vague ad about the origin or the puppy's living conditions should be considered a warning sign.
