Reputable lab retriever breeder and her questionare... back beside this?
Ok, so Im quite gifted of answering all her question, which is fine. But, I have ALOT of question for her. At the end, she have a section that say "Do you have any comments, question or concerns?"
Now, do I ask them all on that dissertation, or will that be too much since she hasnt even met me, or even decided if she will get rid of me one of her pups... or do I wait and see if she contacts me and THEN ask her my question?
Just an idea of *some* of the things I want to ask are,
give or take a few the sire and dam, and if Id know how to meet them and catch proof of their health information.
What age she let the puppies go to spanking new homes.
If I could get information on previous puppies, their current health and name and numbers of their owners.
If any pups have ever be returned to her and why.
Who her veternarian is (i want to background check on him/her).
Those are a moment ago some of the questions I hold. Should I include them in the question section or hang around until she contacts me?
Answers: As a breeder, I would WELCOME these questions.
I would ask for owner reference (as opposed to "If I could find information on past puppies, their current strength and names and numbers of their owners.") Some puppy owners don't mind or similar to contact with the breeder. some are a bit standoffish.
She should know how to give you the Sire and Dam's AKC name and then YOU can look them up on www.offa.org (OFA). Rarely does a GOOD breeder own the stud on site as usually the best stud to cross-fault a b*tch is owned by someone else. However, most good breeders are predisposed to talk to the stud owner and see if THEY are prepared to speak to you. (I've bred to dogs in Europe... its a bit difficult for ancestors to MEET the dog).
Added questions:
Where does she bring to the fore her pups?
Does she have children within to play with the pups?
What sort of diet does she nurture her adults and pups (poorly nourished mother= pups that are at a deficit)
sounds temperate except for the backround check of the vet thing. be off that for later
Good for mortal concerned! She should make that info give or take a few the parents available to you, but I would outline your concerns on the questionarre because they are questions EVERYONE should ask a breeder. She will most potential feel better knowing you want to be informed.
Ya know, I cogitate I'd include them in the question section. Good breeders in actual fact LIKE informed, involved buyers. It shows you've done some thought about getting a puppy, unlike most quirk shoppers.
I would put them in the questionaire.
A worthy breeder will answer all of this quesion and wouldn`t mind beeing ask ,because it show her/him that you show interests within the puppies well anyone etc.
I would include them. Any reputable breeder will gladly make a contribution out this information even without anyone asked. For a possible future owner of one of their puppies they will be beaming to see the questions self asked of them. Good Job to you for doing your research!!
Even a "shitty" breeder can have adjectives that ready for you.
Also be sure to contact the animal control officer surrounded by her area.
Just detail her there are too heaps questions for this application and start yout own page of question till you hear back.
I would suggest asking a few question such as:
Is it possible for me to meet the Sire & Dam and procure proof of their health information?
Could I seize information on past puppies, their current form and names and #'s of their owners.
later the rest can be asked casually when she contacts you. Such as, "so what age do you allow your pups to hand down home? Oh. Okay, neat." Or, "Have any of your dogs be returned? No. Oh." OR "really? Why?"
And like that... "Who's your vet, because I'm have trouble deciding." and next you know.. So on...
Ask about talks sire / dam. Ask if you can enjoy a few references.. Preferably the vet.. You know when populace give reference, they will never give you the heading of a person who is going to recount you the horrible truth !
Definitely list those question you've shared with us. A responsible breeder will be contented to answer them. Keep a separate list of ALL your question, so when you talk on the phone or do an in-person interview of the dogs, you can ask.
Make sure you ask to see PAPER copies of her dogs' hip certifications from OFA or PennHip.
I would ask her the questions up front. You want to check her out as a breeder of late like she will check you out as a puppy owner. The question you ask will also show her what kind of pup owner you will be.
If she is a reputable breeder, she will be up front and honest near you.
I'd tell her I own a few questions. I'd schedule a few of the basic ones to start next to. I'd also say that if approved, I enjoy more questions.
You asking question show you are just as concerned nearly the pups as she is. Most likely, she'll appreciate it.
If she have a problem with it, she's not your breeder. =)
Good opportunity doing your homework!
Just ask the general, most exalted ones on paper. If she is a fitting breeder, she will be happy to see that you enjoy done some research about choosing the right breeder. Also build a note that you own several other questions and ask to set up a talks. Good for you for doing your research
