Dog Life Journey 101 Steps - ( Step 10 Prepare to Wait For the Perfect Dog)
Description (Related:1)
Availability varies. Responsible breeders do not breed often, and many times, the puppies of a planned breeding are already spoken for. A good dog is worth waiting for.
Do not be surprised if you have to get on a waiting list. It's always a bit of a red flag if the breeder has pups that are not yet spoken for. Are they breeding so often that pups are always readily available? If so, you should likely walk away because they're really showing they aren't in it because they care, but simply to make money. As hard as it is, the right puppy is worth waiting for. When screening potential breeders you do want to have a visit ahead of time anyway, to meet the Mother of your potential new puppy. Remember, if you don't like that dog's temperament then you might be best to look elsewhere.
