When you go to a breeder in order to purchase a dog, there are some things that you should look for to make sure that the breeder is reputable. You don’t want to support puppy mills. There are a number of questions you should ask English Springer Spaniel breeders to make sure that they are a good choice before you purchase your puppy or dog. You will have to do your research first so that you know the proper answers; you are just asking the questions to make sure your breeder knows what he is doing.

The first things you should ask English Springer Spaniel breeders about are the basics. You want to have them tell you how big the dog should get, how long a walk it needs, what sort of grooming it needs, and whether or not it is susceptible to any genetic diseases (and if so, has the dog been tested for them). You also want to ask what the most common reasons are that people decide not to keep dogs of this type.

Once you have covered the more basic information about the dog, you should ask English Springer Spaniel breeders about their policies to make sure that they follow the proper code of conduct. You want to make sure that they don’t sell the puppies before they are seven weeks old, that the puppies were born there, that the breeder doesn’t sell to retail stores or brokers, that the dogs are kept in a clean environment, and that the dogs have been socialized with children and other dogs. You should make sure that the breeder is willing to answer your questions and you feel comfortable with them. The breeder should volunteer information on the health and testing of the parents of the puppy, and should also ask a lot of questions about your family and lifestyle to make sure that you would be a good fit for the puppy. You don’t want to buy from a breeder that is just interested in making money and not interested in making sure the puppy gets a good home.

Finally, English Springer Spaniel breeders should provide you with certain papers when you purchase your puppy. You should get information on how to take care of your dog, the dog’s registration, a three generation pedigree, a health record, and a written guarantee that if an exam by a vet in a certain time period does not turn out as expected you can return the dog.
