Your breeder should give you the following documentation either in advance of or at the point of sale - **Contract of sale** - This is simply a legal document that confirms a transaction between you and your breeder has taken place and confirms that you are now the owner of your dog. A trustworthy breeder will ensure you have one of these to make the sale official. **Registration paperwork** - Included in this will be a unique registration number which you will require if you want to register your dog with an organisation like a kennel club. Registering them will make your ownership more practical and let you keep track of their information. These will also include the registration of their parents. **Proof of pedigree** - A responsible breeder will have kept track of the family tree of their dogs with which you can trace their proof of pedigree. This will cover at least three previous generations and help confirm if you're collecting a good specimen of a pup! **Health documents** - Breeders will have every dog from their litter checked at the vets before they put them up for sale. All of the standard tests, which include hip scoring, elbow scoring, and eye tests, will come with official documentation which will prove your dog is healthy. You can forward these documents to your vet for a second opinion if you require one. Your breeder should also supply you with proof that your dog has had their vaccinations, been treated for worms and fleas, and been microchipped.
While it's safe to show interest online and pay online, you should always meet the breeder before the sale is finalised. A trustworthy breeder should also want to meet you to ensure their dog is going to a good family.
You can trust every breeder on our list but for extra peace of mind, you can always contact a kennel club to make sure you are buying from a reputable source.
