FAQ
Look for these red flags: The seller has many types of purebreds or “designer” hybrid breeds being sold at less than six weeks old. Breeders who are reluctant to show potential customers the entire premises on which animals are being bred and kept. Breeders who don't ask a lot of questions of potential buyers.
There are a few red flags to watch out for that can mean a puppy is coming from a puppy mill: You cannot see the "home" or kennel where the puppy was raised. You cannot meet the parents of the puppy. The breeder has multiple breeds or breed mixes available from their kennel.
Red flags = Intentionally breeding fluffies or off standard coat types and charging more for these colors/coat types, only doing genetic tests, not titling, and breeding dogs they own to each other over and over again.
A puppy contract is a binding document between the two parties- breeder and buyer- that makes clear the expectations of responsibility, medical, and financial obligations. With that said, no two puppy contracts are the same.
A bad breeder will breed dogs too young or too old, and will breed the same female multiple times per year. Bad breeders know and care little about ensuring the pup's behavioral and medical health. Bad breeders don't care who they sell to and if the pup is a good fit with the home he or she is going to.
"Red Flags": Avoidance or hiding from people, animals, or objects: Avoidance is an indication of fear which may progress to aggression during adolescence and social maturity. It is important to establish a positive (happy, non-fearful) emotional response NOW.
In the painful event of a serious dispute, a court is more likely to enforce terms that are clearly spelled out as essential to the Breeder's agreement to sell the puppy in the first place. Not everything is a Deal Breaker - Remember, if the contract is too overbearing and unreasonable, it likely won't be enforceable.
Be aware that most contracts in the dog world are not legally enforceable, especially the ones that are micromanaging. Legally, dogs are property. As a result, do not rely on contracts to ``force'' the behavior that you want. Instead....
Most breeders that are even somewhat reputable will require you to sign some sort of contract/document up front along with the deposit. If they insist that they won't have you sign a contract, that's a big red flag.
Remember, dog contracts often fail as legally binding documents, so a compatible buyer is much more likely to result in success. Be aware that contracts that create long-term relationships such as co-ownership, breeding arrangements, show requirements, etc.
