Questions for you to answer for HPR enquiries

Welcome to our questions and answers page.
Please do not be put off by us asking questions.  We want to make sure you can cope with the breed of dogs we are selling as we would hate for them to end up in rescue.  Buying a dog today is not cheap as health testing, food and veterinary bills are not small sums of money any more.  Getting it right is very important for you and us too. 

Buying a puppy off a legitimate breeder you will know your not fuelling puppy farming, or back yard pet breeding.  Ask to see a breeders license number if your unsure about them.  If they can not give you one then they don't have one.  We do not wish to fuel sales of puppy farming or back yard pet breeding, uf you love dogs you would not want to do it either. 

Price of puppies - Please ask. It is different for every breed I own.  We are higher than some breeders because we have more outgoing costs.  We do more health tests than other breeders.

• Finally money, we take a deposit once the puppies are born, and then we take a stage payment when you visit your puppy at 5 weeks of age.  This money will go into a business account.  It is held there until puppies have left.
