To avoid puppy scams…

• Research the Breeder – Check reviews and ask for references.
• Ask for Health Records – Ensure vaccinations and vet checks.
• Visit in Person – See the living conditions and meet the puppy’s parents.
• Avoid Red Flags – Be cautious of too-low prices or breeders with multiple litters.
• Get a Written Contract – Ensure health guarantees and responsibilities.
• Avoid Online-Only Transactions – Never pay without seeing the puppy first.
• Trust Your Instincts – Walk away if something feels off.

Always prioritize a reputable breeder with transparent practices.
