Getting a puppy is one of the most joyful and responsible events for any pet owner.
But we should not forget that as the popularity of pets grows, so does the number of scammers trying to make money on people's inexperience and gullibility.
In this article, we will tell you how not to become a victim of fraudsters and avoid buying a non-purebred puppy.
When buying a puppy or kitten, it is important to be vigilant and not to trust the seller blindly. If the seller acts nervously, refuses to answer questions, or offers too low a price, this may be a sign of fraud.
Before purchasing, you should study information about the breeder on the Internet, pay attention to reviews from other buyers and check the availability of documents for the animal and its parents.
It is also not recommended to buy a pet that is too small, since it is difficult to determine its breed at the age of up to one month. The optimal age is 3-4 months, when the animal acquires characteristic breed characteristics.
It would not be a bad idea to ask the breeder to show you the puppy's parents.
Finally, professionals advise avoiding sellers who breed many different breeds. This recommendation is related to the fact that breeders who deal with one breed are likely to be fully versed in it. And if there are 3-5 different breeds in the nursery, deviations from the exterior and even hidden diseases in animals are likely.
