Asking breeder questions when going to look at a puppy?

What important and semi important questions do i need to ask the breeder when i am going to look at the puppy?

So far i have:

- Worming dates
- hip & eye score + certificates
- parvo injection
- dry food / wet food / semi-wet food
- teeth cleaning
- house training
- castration
- dam's age
- For what reasons/qualities did they choose the sire and dam
for breeding
- How long have they been breeding Beagles for

Im sure im missing lots more.

what kind of health problems have appeared in their lines? (they might lie)

How many litters has the dam had ?

how many litters has the breeder bred?

ask if they will help you re-home if you find you have a problem ( hopefully not ) and can no longer care for the dog and make sure you see the mother some times they dont let you why? I dont know and ask to see the papers

good point Sb about papers- make sure they are KC registered and no another reg such as DLC

Can you see the parents?

Make sure the breeders are as interested in you as you are in them.

NOT ALWAYS a good thing to be able to see BOTH parents....can sometimes mean they have used a 'convenient' stud rather than the best

Captain proton,

If the breeder grills you as much as you grill them this is a good thing as good breeders will want there pups to go to good homes

Thanks, gota do like 7+ hours driving on 4 hours of sleep.
