Finding a Reputable Dealer

Finding a Reputable Breeder

• Always visit the kennel or home.
• Make certain the dam (mother) is on the premises and available for you to see.
• Ask to see health certificates and records of visits to the veterinarian.
• Insist upon being provided with a signed bill of sale stating the puppy is being sold as a purebred.
• Insist upon being provided with a written guarantee.
• Confirm that the dog has been permanently and uniquely identified with tattoo or microchip.
• Confirm CKC registration of the parents, the litter and the puppy you are about to purchase. 
• Ask if the breeder is a member of the CKC.
