I know it used to be here, was called things to ask the breeder or something like that. Might have gotten deleted on the cleanup last month.
Question list for breeder
HELP! There's a list of breeder questions here somewhere... I think I've found the pup but I"m trying to find the list of questions to start a dialog with the breeder. It's been 22 years since I've had anything but a rescue and I completely forget what to ask!

Yep, it's gone. With 3 preschoolers under chair, I've gleaned this list online. Anyone have anything to add to this???
. What criteria do you require of your breeding stock, and why?
. Do you administer puppy temperment tests?
. How do you place the pup? Do you evaluate the pup for suitability for the family or do you let the buyer pick their own?
. what requirements do I need to meet as a buyer?
. neuter policy
. what if I want to show the dog in obedience (NOT breed)?
. Health and temperment tests on both parents
. How are the puppies socialized before they're ready to go home
. Immunizations on pups and vet checks
. hip/ health guarantee / policy on the rare chance I have a dramatic change in life and can't keep the pup
good list of what the breeder should ask me -

(website is thorough - 5 generation pedigrees with OFA #s, referrals and mission about german shepherds so that stuff doesn't need to be asked)

Yes, yes I was! It didn't show up in a search - either that or my twins gave me a brain cramp. LOL, I've been resisting the puppy urge until they're old enough for preschool.
