Boston Terrier Breeders And How To Spot Fakes
When you are ready to invest in a Boston Terrier for your family, and you intend to buy one from a Boston Terrier 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 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 Boston Terrier breeder or not is if the breeder offers you pet insurance to extend 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 Boston Terrier home from the Boston Terrier breeder’s you and your breeder should not be losing contact with each other. A good breeder will be available to an owner at all times for consultation and to answer any questions that may come up. If you are calling your Boston Terrier 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 an 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 pet and the legitimate breeder will also send home samples of the kinds of food you should be feeding your Boston Terrier as well.
As was mentioned earlier you and your Boston Terrier breeder should always be in contact with each other throughout most of your dog’s life. If your Boston Terrier becomes ill, or if you find that you can no longer care and keep it, then a legitimate Boston Terrier breeder will offer to take the dog back.
A breeder becomes successful based 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 Boston Terrier 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 American Kennel Club or whatever breeder registry they are listed with but in all reality there is not a lot they can do to make your situation right.
But aside from suing there is not much you can do and that is why you should never buy a Boston Terrier from a breeder that is not in good standing with the American Kennel Club.
