Top Tips

  1. Arrive on time.  This might sound obvious, but people often just don’t show up. You might not get a second chance. If you can’t get there when you said, give plenty of notice and explanation.
  2. Know how to meet the dogs.  You, your kids and any relatives must know how to properly engage with dogs. This will give you a better chance of a puppy or adult from the breeder.
  3. Make sure you know how to spot a responsible breeder.  Know what you’d expect to see, feel and hear when you get there.  A good breeder will be very impressed by this kind of knowledge.
  4. Ask questions! As many as you want.  Don’t be put off.  If you don’t get the answer you think you should, keep asking until you do or until it’s obvious the breeder isn’t one you want to deal with.
  5. Answer all the breeder’s questions.  Openness and honesty at all times.  Be prepared for them to ask you lots of things, some of which might be uncomfortable.  But remember they’re not trying to trick you.
  6. Be prepared to wait.  Good puppies don’t grow on trees.  Show the breeder you understand that, and are prepared to take their advice on what’s suitable.

There’s a lot to take in before, during and after you meet a breeder.  You need to be fully prepared, and know what information you’re expecting to come away with.

It’s very easy for first time dog owners to be misled or guided into looking away from things a breeder doesn’t want you to spot.  If you’ve got a responsible breeder this is unlikely.   However you do need to go fully prepared.  And be persistent and detailed.

Nothing should be off limits.

Overlooking a few small things, or having a breeder ‘persuade’ you they’re not important can make the difference between a great choice of dog and a poor one.
