Green discharge or lethargic mood may indicate a serious problem. If you are concerned about your puppy, call us or your veterinarian immediately.
Keep in mind that in most cases, you are buying these puppies directly from the breeder. Often, it is a family pet that has had a litter of puppies, or a hobby breeder is sharing a litter of their puppies. Pet shops are in business to make money, so they have to mark up the price of the puppy in order to cover their overhead and expenses. Also remember when going directly to the breeder, the puppy is not exposed to other dogs and is not stressed from being moved around, which means he/she will be healthier and happier.
Yes, often you can, as long as the puppy is old enough and the breeder feels that the puppy is ready to be released. Puppies have to be at least 8 weeks old or older in order to leave the breeder. You will also need to make sure that the breeder accepts your form of payment. We suggest taking cash, as the majority of the breeders accept it. Some breeders may accept credit cards, PayPal, Venmo or other digital payment services. Be sure to discuss acceptable forms of payments before you go to pick up your puppy.
