How much do puppies from Polk County breeders cost?
The supplied breeder information does not list prices. Ask for the puppy price, deposit and refund terms, transportation costs, and what vaccinations, microchipping, registration, or health guarantees are included.
What health information should I ask a dog breeder for?
Ask to see parent health-testing records and the written health guarantee. Melrose Mountain Farm lists OFA certifications and Embark genetic testing; Southeastern Pembrokes states that each puppy receives an initial veterinary checkup.
How long might I wait for a puppy?
Southeastern Pembrokes requires an application and uses a waiting list. Melrose Mountain Farm notes that waits may exceed 16 months, so buyers needing a puppy quickly should confirm current availability before applying.
What early training do these breeders provide?
Southeastern Pembrokes starts Bio-Sensor training at two days and Volhard temperament testing at three weeks. Melrose Mountain Farm exposes puppies to children and animals and introduces crate and potty training.
