A price that seems too good to be true?

- You should ask for the parents' screening results, especially for the eyes and hips.
- The blue merle color must not result from a mating between two merle dogs due to the health risks for the puppies.
- The puppy must be identified, at least eight weeks old, and accompanied by the mandatory legal documents.
