Avoid offer delivery to your home or a venue. There is often a way for sellers to stay anonymous.
Request to have a proof of purchase in which the seller’s name, address and phone number available.
Request that the dog is due vaccinated and have a health certificate which is more than seven days old, from the veterinarian.
Documents pedigree or passport, you should receive in the hand of purchase.
Try to hit the mother bitch and love to both parents, if possible. Ask if the bitch ID number to ensure that it is not a “bulvantik”.
