Re: Buying A Puppy
Not being able to see the Mum, and being told I could only see the pup(s) when I went to buy it.

Re: Buying A Puppy
not seeing the Mum (and poss Dad) with the pups

seller not asking loads of questions or not willing/able to answer questions you had

condition the bitch and pups were living in

No offence clueless hun , but neither of my dogs are KC reg , they are both from working stock , so IMHO not having the dogs KC reg isnt something to be suspicious of

Agree with you if working but I would want to know I am defo buying a Pedigree not something crossed.It was what I would want to know as the OP asked "What would set alarm bells ringing for you" not any other member
You have mentioned see mum and dad, alarm bells for me there would bethe fact someone has just bought bitch and dog and decided to have a litter

Re: Buying A Puppy
ah yep I see your point there

I also kinda see where you're coming from about the male and female working dogs ... but its not like that in my case , The dad was the mans dog and his wife wanted a bitch ... they decided to let her have one litter then she's getting spayed
But I totally agree with your points now clarified

Re: Buying A Puppy
Seeing fleas on the puppy. Seeing pictures of the puppy in a kennel - not a problem for working breeds but an issue for toy breeds etc. A breeder advertising different litters/breeds every month or so. A breeder selling designer mixes regularly.
