It all depends on where your puppy comes from
Acquiring from a specialized and transparent breeder makes it possible to check the living conditions, the parents' temperament, the puppies' socialization and the results of the recommended screenings. Adoption through an association is rarer but may involve adults or dogs to be rehomed.

What about once they're home?
A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price may conceal an unverifiable origin, insufficient socialization, or the absence of screening tests for the parents.
- The white coat should not, by itself, justify a price surcharge, since it defines the breed.
- Never pay a deposit without clearly identifying the breeder, visiting or verifying the breeding facility, and obtaining a written contract.
