WEBSITES CAN BE MISLEADING
Other than for general
information and a way to pass the time, avoid purchasing puppies from
websites. A pretty website does not mean the breeder is honest,
ethical or involved in the breed. You may pay less but that is the
downpayment. The 10+ year financial installment
payments come later at the veterinarians' office.
Here is a quick way to delete bad websites:
-
Do NOT look further
if the names of the dogs are only the call names, such as Charlie,
Banjo, etc. Any breeder who is a student of the breed
identifies their dogs by their formal, registered names, as well as
perhaps the call names.
-
Do NOT look further if there are no
pedigrees listed.
-
Do NOT look further
if there is a long list of little individual Cavalier faces pictured
for sale or with a “sold” sticker across some of the faces.
-
Do NOT look further if they take credit cards.
-
Do NOT look further if they are imports
from Ireland or other parts of the world.
-
Do NOT look further if there are
descriptions of the dogs as being "cutie patooties" or similar
phrases.
-
Do NOT look further if the guarantee
indicates you must return your dog first to get money back for a
replacement. Who would do such a thing?
-
Do NOT look further if the PARENTS of the
puppy have never seen a Board Certified Cardiologist or
Ophthalmologist--at a minimum.
-
Do NOT look further if the name of the
website is "Spaniels4U" or "NextDayPets" or "Puppiesondemand" or
some such name.
-
Do NOT look further if they register their
puppies with any other organization
OTHER THAN CKCSC, USA or AKC.
