What to know1 2 3 4
Ask about health records and care
Ask what veterinary care, vaccinations, deworming, or health records are available. A responsible seller should be comfortable explaining what they know.
Ask about parents and temperament
Ask about the parents, expected adult size, temperament, and anything useful about the breed. Recent photos or a video call can help you understand more.
Ask about pickup and next steps
Clarify where pickup will happen, what comes home with the puppy, whether a contract is used, and how questions will be handled after pickup.
