HOW TO
PICK A BREEDER
Weimaraner
Breeders suggest prospective buyers research and question
Weimaraner breeders to ensure the Weimaraners they purchase
are healthy. The following questions will help you decide
if this is the Ohio Weimaraner breeder you want to do
business with:
- Is a
written health guarantee on the Weimaraner provided?
- Is the
puppy’s mother and father on the premises?
- If the
puppy’s mother and father are not available
for viewing, where are they?
- How many
times have the puppy’s mother and father been
bred together (NOTE: over breeding and/or inbreeding
may cause genetic defects)
- Ask to
see the pedigree papers on the puppy’s mother
and father.
- Ask how
many litters, Weimaraners or other breeds of dogs,
are currently on the premises (be cautious of “Puppy
Mills”).
- Ask if
the puppy has received a health check from a licensed
veterinary and is the document available for review.
- Ask at
what age will the Weimaraner breeder release the puppy(s)
to the new owner (Before 7 to 8 weeks is too soon).
