at the puppies’ activity and their vigor. Puppies should not appear bored but very playful. If the puppies are dull
and sleepy it could be an indication of an underlying disease or disorder. The other concern is the age of the
puppies. The breeder should disclose their age for you to assess their growth rate using their weight.

puppy for any congenital abnormalities or development conditions that may be manifested at birth.

required by the law. These papers will contain information of their breed, gender as well as the lineage of their
parents. This will ensure that you do not get scammed by unscrupulous dog breeders because breeding organizations

breeder to let you see the brood environment. This is the best indicator of how the puppies were kept by the
owner.
