It all depends on where your puppy comes from
A specialized and transparent breeding kennel remains the safest source for knowing the health of the breeding dogs, the socialization of the puppies and their registration in the French Stud Book. Adoption is another possibility, rarer for this breed.

What about once they're home?
A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price may conceal a lack of screening, socialization, or traceability.
- The hip and elbow screening results of the parents must be available for consultation.
- The puppy must not be transferred before the legal age and must be identified and accompanied by its documents.
- The rarity of the breed sometimes requires waiting, but does not justify a purchase without a visit or guarantees.
