If you are looking for a purebred puppy, ask a breeder
recognized. Do not look for promising announcements or offers on
Internet. Stay skeptical, ask questions and keep the distance
if your contact offers you a list of old dogs
of different races. For the purchase of a puppy, one must also be
be careful if the mother is not (more) there or kept away
of his little one.
Ask for the vaccination card or passport of the animal with
the number of the chip, as well as possibly a certificate
of ascen-dance, a certificate of health and the date of the last
deworming administration. Ask for a sales contract and
inquire at a breed club or association
breeders of the value of the promised documents.
How to recognize a serious breeder?
Les éleveurs sérieux ne forcent pas à l’achat. Ils posent beaucoup de questions aux acheteurs et ne concluent aucune vente par téléphone ni par Internet. Ils n’utilisent pour la reproduction que des chiens qui ont réussi l’examen d’aptitude à l’élevage (prouvant notamment leur bonne santé et leur bon comportement). Ils acceptent les contrôles des chenils et des portées imposés par la fédération et suivent régulièrement des cours d’approfondissement en cynologie. Les bons éleveurs sont toujours là pour vous conseiller, même après l’achat de votre chien, y compris si vous devez vous séparer de lui pour une raison importante
Buy a dog at a shelter
If you want to buy a bastard or an adult dog, or even an olddog, you can go to a recognized refuge. Most
dogs that are welcomed in these places are animals of which
life, more or less known, has not always been very happy.
They are often demanding dogs. Once you have spotted
an animal, try to know the maximum about its history,
take a few walks with him and take him home for a few
hours or for a weekend, to get to know each other.
The shelter staff will advise you with transparency
and professionalism.
