I don't mind but why so many questions?
I've been at this since I was 14 years old, competing in Jr. Showmanship, the money, time and raw hard work involved you would be surprized. One of the ways such breeders preserve their chosen blood-line is to make sure their puppies do not fall into the wrong hands. A huge red flag indicating a less-than-reputable breeder is someone who will sell you a puppy sight unseen, without asking you any questions about your experience with dogs, your home environment, and your intentions for caring for the dog. Remember, if the breeder doesn't care who they sell to, then their blood-line probably has little or no value.An important item for most breeders is the adoption contract. You know you have a nice puppy is if the contract stipulates that the buyer would not neuter until the eight-month puppyhood period was up. Some might want to neuter earlier, but as a breeder, they want the pup to grow to full adolescence before they decides whether or not to mate·the dog, to continue its valuable bloodline. The puppy might be a BEST IN SHOW winner, you never know what you are buying. A good breeder might want you to bring the dog back at age eight months to evaluate the puppy for breeding. If they want the puppy participate in a litter, great; it just means you are going to get paid.
