Puppies quietly sleeping in livingroom.

When searching for a healthy puppy you want a breeder who spare no expense for their puppies. It may cost you the Adopter'(s) more in the beginning but it will save you time, money and possible heart break in the long term.
In our opinion puppies should visit the veterinarian twice during their short time with the breeder, once shortly after they are born, the second time just before they go to their new adoptive families. Most veterinarian is very thorough and checks everything: eyes, heart, knees, hips, etc.
If the breeder believes strongly in their puppies they should be willing to back their breeding practices with a written health contract/guarantee.
Puppies should never be rehomed before they are 8 weeks of age.
You should ask if the adoption price includes the following: microchipping, deworming ( a puppy 8 weeks old should have been dewormed every two weeks from the time it was two weeks old. That means when you pick it up at 8 weeks it should have been dewormed 4 times). and immunized (appropriate for their age)
