AN OWNER’S GUIDE
.....
• Make sure that the ears are clean and not smelly
If you do decide to buy a puppy, the breeder may want to check on your credentials as a worthy potential owner, and you should not be offended if you are asked some pertinent or personal questions about your home, lifestyle, work, etc. The breeder is not being nosey or prying into your affairs; they are protecting their puppy and ensuring that he goes to a good home where he will be loved and well looked after.
