Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
Acquiring from a reputable breeder makes it possible to know the lineage, the parents' temperament and the screening results. Adoption from a shelter or through an association remains possible, notably for an adult or a rehomed dog.

A price that seems too good to be true?
- Ask for identification, the veterinary certificate, pedigree documents, and the parents' health results.
- Avoid any handover of the puppy when it is too young or in a place that does not allow you to see its breeding conditions.
- An abnormally low price may conceal insufficient socialization, a lack of health monitoring, or an uncertain origin.
