Do your research

Scammers thrive on puppy buyers who don’t do their research. MDBA advises that the best way to protect yourself and be as assured as possible that you are dealing with the breeder is to speak with them on a phone with the last four digits the MDBA matches to their member number.

There should be no compromise on this one – no excuses about how they can’t talk on the phone because they have a hearing impairment or they are out of range or that they have a toddler who is triggered by the phone ringing, etc, and no alternatives such as Facebook etc. Speaking to the person who bred the dog in person on the phone with THAT number at length is important for both the breeder and the buyer. Listen for how the breeder feels about their dogs and those who take them into their homes. If you expect the breeder to be there for you if you strike an issue after the pup goes home, are they making you feel that you can contact them and feel comfortable about asking for help and guidance after the puppy goes home? Are you comfortable they can answer any questions or provide advice on the breed you may need, etc.
