The Pitfalls Of Fake Beagle BreedersThis is a featured page

When you are ready to invest in a beagle for your family, and you intend to buy one from a beagle breeder, you need to be sure that you are dealing with a real dog breeder and not a fake trying to scam you. If you buy from a fake beagle breeder you could be forced to put your family through expensive vet bills and tough decisions because you were sold an unhealthy pet by a fake breeder.

A sure way to tell if you have a real beagle breeder or not is if the breeder offers you pet insurance that offers coverage for six weeks after you have purchased the dog. Legitimate breeders get this pet insurance for free from insurance companies and the insurance companies hope that you will extend the coverage once the six weeks has elapsed. Only legitimate breeders get the free insurance and if you are not offered this insurance in writing then you may have a fake breeder.
When you have your new beagle home from the beagle breeder’s you and your breeder should not lose contact with each other. A good breeder will be available to a beagle owner at all times for consultation and to answer any questions that may come up about your beagle. If you are calling your beagle breeder and they don’t answer the phone, don’t return your calls, or will not answer your questions then the chances are that you have yourself a fake breeder.

Your breeder’s name is on your dog’s papers and so is your breeder’s reputation and a real and honest breeder cannot afford a bad reputation. A good breeder will help first time dog owners with detailed instructions about the feeding and care of your new beagle and the legitimate breeder will also send home samples of the kinds of food you should be feeding your beagle as well. No food samples, and no feeding instructions usually means a fake breeder.
As was mentioned earlier you and your breeder should always be in contact with each other throughout a large portion of your beagle’s life. If your beagle becomes ill, or if you find that you can no longer care and keep your beagle, then a legitimatebeagle breeder will offer to take the beagle back. A beagle breeder lives on a helpful and professional reputation and this is just one of the above and beyond services any legitimate breeder will offer.

Unfortunately if you have purchased your beagle from a fake breeder then there is not much you can do beyond suing the breeder to get your money back. You are encouraged to report the breeder to the National Kennel Club but in all reality there is not a lot they can do to make your situation right. Before you purchase a beagle from any breeder always check out the breeder with the National Kennel Club to make sure you are dealing with a legit business.
