I'm thinking that nature never intended for homes to be built in areas that have a high fire danger potential. The land is probably better suited to agriculture and should be reverted to that use. Actually nature uses fire as a means to purify the land and bring nutrients into the soil. By doing nothing to stop the fire then a lot of money would be saved. Of course rescue the people in the area. The people who lose their homes could be offered some of that money saved to relocate to states were there is more rainfall and fire is not as great a danger.
does it have a pedigree, is it registered, and does it have any defects..
Go with your heart.If you picked a Breed you love, you will see a pup and fall in love. Yep, I know thumbs down, but my heart always wins:)o
Have they had their first shots and been wormed? Do you have any sort of 2 week or longer health guarantee? Do you have references from other people that have bought puppies from you? May I have a vet check out the puppy before purchasing it? Have the puppies had their first vet visit? How long have you been breeding?
3 isn't that heavy, but since there is a bracelet, i'd use 2. But actually I'd go to a post office window and have them weigh it and tell you. You wouldn't want to use 2 stamps and have it get returned. Cause they postmark them and you can't use them over. Then you're out and have to start over.
Useless questions: 1) Are the parents on site? RARELY is the ideal stud for a b*tch ever found in the same back yard. If they're both there, 99 times out of 100 they're being bred for convenience. 2) What is the health of the dogs in general? You don't ask, you ask to see the results of health testing on the dam sire 3) Can I pick up the dog July 4th? Good breeders tell you when the dog will be ready, and if they're not on the road competing with their dogs, when you can pick it up A good breeder will be asking you more questions than you ask them. They'll want to know your experience with the breed and with dogs in general. They'll want to check a vet reference and personal references. They'll want to know about your home, whether you rent or own, have a fenced yard, other pets, young children in the home, how often someone is going to be home with the dog, where it will be kept, and how much exercise it will be getting as well as getting a feel for you as a potential owner. YOU will want to ask them about their breeding goals, what titles their breeding stock have earned, why they chose this pair, about their health guarantee and if they'll be available for future support should you have any questions or issues with your dog.
