Be careful with puppy sale on Craigslist

Menlo Park CA

Description

-Backyard breeders are just looking to make a profit off of the so-called purebred dogs that they own. -They may let dogs reproduce freely without knowledge of their family histories (health and behavioral, in particular). -They pay little or no attention to genetic health issues in both the parents and the puppies. -They often charge less money for the puppies than a responsible breeder, but still more money than they should (no one should pay for puppies that were bred carelessly). -These dogs may seem less expensive, but in the long run, you may end up paying more for these dogs when health issues develop. In many cases, these breeders will not take their puppies back if something goes wrong. Never trust a breeder who won't guarantee the puppies.
