This commitment definitely works both ways!
The breeder should be as concerned about the overall good health and
temperament
and their care of the puppy as any buyer is! ALL the health records on the
puppy should
be in the puppy kit for every single puppy.....along with reams of information
on crate
training, care, puppy behavior, training and character development and good
and bad
behavior...etc.....every question ever asked over the years. <G>
I supply much more information to the pet owner than I do the show puppy buyer
just
because I know the show buyer is already experienced and already knows all of
it.
Don't ever think it is not a heartbreak for the breeder if any puppy has any
kind of serious
health issue. Any good breeder is first concerned with good genetic
background on their
bitch and the stud they choose because no one knows better than a breeder the
price you
pay...literally....if the litter is not sound in every way. NO ONE wants the
heartbreak of a
sick or unsound puppy and we surely don't want to break the heart of a puppy
buyer who
waited a long time for this joyful addition to their family.
We all love the reports coming back to us over the years ....the ones
proclaiming this GSD
from you to be "the BEST, HEALTHIEST, SMARTEST GSD they EVER owned". <G>

question for the list
The puppy buyer is also weary of the breeder selling the pup too.
It goes both ways seller and buyer need to agree on the sale.
My vet always told me to make sure the pup was healthy and sound
of temperament. He told me to have proof from their vet the dam and
sire had health clearance and the pup was vaccinated and wormed.
The buyer is the one making the decision to buy the pup and it is
their lifetime hours they will spend taking care of the little one.
Puppies grow up and are a lifetime joy but can also be a heartbreak
if the pup comes through unhealthy lines or temperament problems.
The breeder has a responsibility to their pups to make sure they go
to a sound home and will be a joy to own for their lifetime.
It is not a easy task being a breeder as even with the best plans set forth and
all
the testing done you can end up with a disappointment.
I sold my horses without a vet check for health and soundness. I asked buyers
to call my vet with any questions they might have. I gave them the records of
the horses care and the vets findings so there was never a question in the
future.
Horses need fence not barb wire and a barn to maintain them you would be
surprised
to hear buyers for them. LOL!!!

You do all you absolutely possibly can to insure every puppy is healthy and
sound in every way, and
back that up with a guarantee and all the information and answers to any
questions on the puppy or
litter.....then you tell him when and if he can come and get his puppy after it
clears the Vet check.
