What age are you getting him at? If its 8 weeks, they should already have their first jags and be wormed. If its 12 weeks then the pup should have had both jags.

You may find that the pup has already been microchipped - some breeders do this before the pups leave home. I haven't done before but may well consider this next time I have a litter.
And you may find that the first jab hasn't been given if you are taking your pup at 8 weeks. I don't jab my pups that leave at that age - I expect the new owner to take the pup to the vet within a few days of collecting the pup for an independent health check and to have the first jab. Not all vets use the same brand of vaccine and if the breeder uses one sort and your vet uses another, your vet will want to start the course again - not something I'd want to do to a pup.
