What are some signs of a bad breeder?
A. Read the sales contract; A truly evil breeder will require you to destroy a pet you have bonded with in order to receive a replacement. Such actions are not in the best interest of the dog or the customer, they are purely to save the breeder money. DO NOT buy from anyone with such requirements in their sales contract, it is pure evil. In fact, any breeder who has a contract that looks like the Spanish Inquisition could have written it is a sure sign of trouble. Breeders compensate for their dog’s or line’s short comings by over compensating in the pet contract. They believe the more unenforceable clauses and codicils a contract has the better you will think of them and the better they look to their fellow breeders. Study the demeanor of the breeder, it will show in their dogs. Avoid anyone who is defensive or even offensive about answering your questions. Be careful of breeders who don’t use veterinarians.
