Puppy Application
Read my policy on choosing puppies here.
There are a number of significant advantages of owning a purebred pet
from a responsible hobby breeder. A purebred companion dog from a reputable breeder is one that:
1. Is of a known and
recognizable breed that matures as expected.
2. Is happy, healthy,
fully vaccinated and well socialized.
3. Has the temperament and personality traits that are expected for
its breed.
4. Comes with lifetime “tech support” from a breeder who knows the breed well.
5. Comes
from parents (and in most cases, several generations of ancestors) who have been screened for inherited disorders.
6.
Has a return policy written into the sales contract.
7. Has a breed organization to help should re-homing ever become necessary.
8.
And if not for show, comes with a SPAY/NEUTER contract.
Here's an awesome article written by malamute breeder Jen Effler-Leveille (one of the good ones!) on how to recognize a good
breeder.
