Why the Cheapest Puppy Isn’t Always the Best Value
Price naturally matters when you’re choosing a puppy, but it shouldn’t be the only consideration.
A significantly lower price may reflect differences in veterinary care, health screening, socialization, documentation, or the overall environment in which puppies are raised. That doesn’t mean an inexpensive puppy is automatically a poor choice, just as an expensive puppy isn’t automatically the right choice.
Instead, look at the whole picture.
Ask about the puppy’s parents, health history, veterinary care, living environment, socialization, documentation, and what happens after the puppy goes home.
A breeder who is comfortable answering reasonable questions gives you more information to work with when making your decision.
