Enquiries

In all the years I have bred Hungarian Vizsla I have seen a big change in how the public want to go about buying a pedigree dog.  Maybe it's just the age we live in. 

We get lovely people enquire and it's a pleasure to help them and then develop a relationship with them over the life of their dog where they can contact us about anything for advice.  We always say if you want to keep in touch then we love that. But if you do not we appreciate how busy life is and do not expect you to keep in contact.  Having birthday updates is a pleasure to read through. 

This is how an enquiry should go!
Hi, We are interested in a puppy from you.  I understand you have a litter, is it okay to do a phone call with you so we can chat and learn about the breed.  Put your name, address, and give suitable times for us to contact you.  You may of had the breed and you just want a short chat and thats fine.  But you may want more information and I am happy to give you as much information as possible to help you make the right decision that the breed is right for you.   Not everyone can cope with the HPR breed.  Even if price is the first thing you want to know, hold off until you have struck up some kind of conversation and then Im sure most breeders will then give you the price. It does not matter if you think you can or can not afford the price, and at least you have got some information to help give you the best opinions possible. 

You can ask if the breeder is licensed.  You can ask if the puppies are kennel club registered.  You can ask if the parents are health tested.   You can ask if the breeder has a website or social media.  You can ask are the parents pet dogs, or are they show dogs. You can even ask if there are references they can give you.  There are lots of questions you can ask.

But remember a breeder does not have to sell a puppy to you if they have any concerns.  Because they do not want the puppy to end up in a rescue centre.  So they may ask several questions to see if your suitable for the breed.
