Finding Good Homes for Your Puppies:
It is vitally important that you find the right home for your puppies. Hopefully this will determine where they will spend the rest of their life, and you will want to ensure that the puppy will be happy in that environment.
As guidelines, you may wish to think about some of the following when making your decision:
-Find out if the people who want to buy the puppy have done their "homework" on their chosen breed.
-Try to meet the whole family, including any children if possible.
-Ask potential owners if they have any other dogs / pets.
-Find out whether the dog is wanted purely as a pet, or whether they may be interested in breeding at a later stage (you may have placed endorsements on the puppy's registration certificate and the new owners will need to agree to these in writing before or at the date of sale). The new owner may also want to compete at Kennel Club licensed events.
-Do not mislead people regarding the dog’s characteristics and the care it requires (particularly of the coat). Incomplete information for the new owner may result in the puppy being returned to you, or being sold on.
-Find out if the potential owner has the time and inclination to groom an adult dog (particularly long coated breeds).
-Find out how much time they spend at home. It is not necessarily a bad thing if they are out all day, provided they can take the dog to work with them.
-Find out more about where they live, for example do they have a fenced garden? Some breeders like to conduct a home check before selling a puppy (you could always ask for photographs if it is not possible for you to visit the house in person). Do not automatically rule out flat dwellers - as long as they are willing and able to walk the dog regularly they may be able to offer a suitable home. It can even be the case that the dog is better off as then it cannot just be put out in the garden for exercise!
Finally, if you are not sure that the home is right for the puppy, then do not sell it.
