What to consider when buying a puppy
Do they sell online?
We discourage all puppy buyers from purchasing puppies online. Typically, when you have to check out online, this either is a puppy mill or a scam.
Breeder Standards
Preferable Pups set the standard for dog breeders. They must adhere to strict breeding guidelines to protect your puppy from being bred improperly.
Puppy Health
Work with a puppy matching service instead of a puppy broker. Your pup should receive a thorough health exam from a third-party licensed veterinarian. This prevents naughty brokers from lying on the health reports.
Breeds
Look closely at the breeds available, and insist on direct communication with the breeder you work with. We do this on your behalf!
