So You Want To Buy A Puppy....

Please keep in mind.......

Responsible, Reputable breeders are a great source for a well-bred, healthy dog.

Such breeders subscribe to the Code of Ethics of their breed's CKC parent club and would not knowingly sell their dogs to pet dealers, pet shops, or other commercial distribution channels, or sell through auctions or raffles.

STOP!...THINK...before you rush into a pet store and walk out with a puppy that a sales clerk insists is the right one for you!..
