Follow these golden rules on buying a puppy in the UK:
Always ask to see the mother & puppies together
Beware if the breeder is outside the UK
Check vaccination cards.
Beware if you can't see the vet's details
Pedigree certificates do not guarantee the condition of the puppy
Never buy from someone who offers to deliver a puppy or meet you to offer a puppy
Consider a rescue dog from your local re-homing centre

Watch footage secretly filmed by RSPCA undercover officers, lifting the lid on puppy trading.
Puppy farm pups are often: - sick or diseased - malnourished
sold without proper certification
removed from their mothers too early
born in overcrowded, filthy conditions.
Bitches are often abandoned after 6 years as they no longer have any use. These dogs have no socialisation skills, do not know how to play and are not house trained.
We as dog lovers can help stop Puppy Farming... Never buy a puppy from a Pet Shop, a genuine breeder would never sell a puppy to a pet shop. Pet Shop puppies are often puppy farmed dogs.
