Buyer’s Checklist
Buying a dog or puppy is a big commitment and investment. Here at Working Spaniel we have put together some of the key things you need to ask, think about and check before connecting with buyers or making the decision to visit. We cannot protect buyers every step of the way so once you step outside the safety of our site, it is over to you.
Identification
Do not be offended by sellers asking for ID or verification of who you are. Many sellers will be wary of scammers and the potential for theft so put them at ease as soon as you are able. The same goes for sellers- make sure you include plenty of information about the dog or service you are selling and set out your requirements of a visit.
Safety
Be very aware of scams and requests for upfront deposits or account information. Emails sent to sellers are not saved on the site. Working Spaniel cannot be held responsible for any phishing or fraudulent activity.
Be Responsible
Ask lots of questions, and make sure you have done your research. If a dog is being sold with a pedigree or the sire and or dam has awards you can verify this on our platform. Licensed breeders will always state that they are licensed and have a licence number. Not all puppies will be from licensed breeders especially if it is a hobby breeder that does not breed lots of litters.
Licensed breeders:
Licensing regulations vary across the UK so please check the rules on your local council’s website or where you plan to buy.
Licensed breeders need to pass strict inspections to get their licence. They will be given a star rating from 1 to 5 and undergo periodic re-inspections to ensure they are meeting welfare standards.
Hobby breeders:
These breeders usually have litters every now and then but don’t do it often enough to require a licence. Hobby breeders usually focus on one or two breeds and will be just as happy as licensed breeders to provide viewings with the mother and paperwork.
Puppy farmers:
These are the ones to avoid! They can be hard to spot but they won’t do everything in this checklist. Look out if:
- they avoid your questions,
- try to hide the pup’s mother
- they don’t showing an interest in how you will look after the puppy
- they pressure you to make a decision
- they have differences in addresses or personal details on paperwork
Remember
- Puppies must be 8 weeks old at the time of sale and been fully weaned before they can leave their mothers. Please make sure to check the paperwork to ensure the puppy is old enough.
- Puppies must be viewed with the mother at the location of the breeder.
- Microchips are a legal requirement as are legal docking certificates if they are working dogs and have been docked. Never accept them being sent on later!
- Health testing is not vet checked. You can verify health testing on Kennel Club Registered breeds on their website. If the dog or parents are not registered ask to see the health test certificates and do your research on credible testing.
- Most puppies will have been health checked for microchipping. Ask for details of the vet to verify this.
- Not all pups have been vaccinated but a good breeder will often include first vaccination with microchips.
- Ask about the puppy’s worms and fleas treatment schedule. Depending on the breeder’s schedule you may need to do the final treatments yourself.
- You should always get your pet insured as the cost of unexpected vet bills can be very high. Insure as early as possible as companies do not usually cover existing medical conditions. You want to be insured before anything develops.
- Lucy’s Law came into effect in April 2020 check what that means here
- If you think a puppy may be the result of irresponsible breeding, do not “rescue” the puppy no matter how much you want to. We know it’s very hard but walk away and report the seller to us and your local council immediately.
- We recommend viewing without commitment to buy, walk away discuss and let them know, do not be put under pressure in any circumstances.
