If you have been looking for a new Doberman Pinscher puppy for a while, you have likely talked to many breeders about their Doberman puppies for sale in San Jose, CA. You have gone into great detail about each breeder’s operation, their dogs and individual litters and puppies and have done a lot of research to select which breeder you will use and ultimately which puppy you will take home to be your new loving companion. However, before you actually take your new puppy home, be sure that you have discussed the three following critical items with your breeder.
First, find out what type of health guarantee your puppy will come with-and ensure that you receive a copy of the guarantee with all parameters clearly detailed. This is actually a question that you should ask about any of the Doberman puppies for sale in San Jose, CA that you are considering very early on in the process. A good breeder will be able and willing to let you review the health guarantee before you submit any sort of deposit on a specific puppy. A comprehensive guarantee will include infections such as Distemper or even Parvo as well as congenital health conditions. Make sure that you read the guarantee thoroughly and consider it like an insurance policy—something that you ideally will not ever need but that you will be glad you have if you ever do. It will also give you good insight into the breeder that you are working with and hopefully confirm that they are the ones you want to work with.
Next, be sure to have the breeder of any Doberman puppies in San Jose, CA sends you copy of the contract that they use. Do not ever send any money to a breeder until you have reviewed the contract thoroughly and that both parties have signed it and have copies. A legitimate contract will spell out everything from financial information to registration, health guarantees as well as a “return” policy itemizing the process for how any return of the puppy (or dog, if later in life) would be handled.
Finally, have the breeder explain to you the registration process for the puppy and if there are any limitations on it and when you will receive the paperwork. When you purchase one of the Doberman puppies for sale in San Jose, CA from a quality breeder, you will have no problems getting any of this information but you will want to make sure that you do. It is your right and another way to ensure you have chosen to work with a reputable breeder.
