The time has come to bring a Boston Terrier into your family and you have decided that you want to deal with a Boston Terrier breeder so that you know what you are getting.
However, like any other industry, there are fake Boston Terrier breeders out there that are trying to take advantage of unknowing owners.
You want to make sure you avoid a fake Boston Terrier breeder or else you may get an unhealthy pet that could rack up huge vet bills on you and cause you and your family to make difficult decisions.
A sure way to spot a out the fake Boston Terrier breeder from the legitimate ones is to ask about free pet insurance, for use after you bring your Boston Terrier home.
Legitimate breeders are offered free pet insurance to give to buyers that extends for six weeks after the sale in the hopes that you will extend the insurance after the six weeks is up.
If you breeder is not willing to give you signed proof of insurance, or if you check out the insurance and it is not valid, you probably have a fake breeder.
Good breeders do not just disappear from your life as soon as the sale is over.
Legitimate Boston Terrier breeders are part of you and your dog's life for a long time after the purchase because it is the breeder's name on your dog's papers and their reputation on the line along with the life of your pet.
If you find it impossible to get a hold of your breeder after the purchase, or your breeder can offer you no assistance or advice after the purchase, then the chances are you are dealing with a dishonest breeder.
Boston Terrier breeders are also supposed to help novice owners with health advice and even guidance on the kinds of foods your Boston Terrier should be eating.
A good breeder will send you home with detailed care instructions on feeding your new pet and will also send you home with samples of their food to help get you started.
Once again if the breeder disappears on you then chances are they are not a very good breeder.
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.
Before you purchase a Boston Terrier from any breeder always check out the breeder with the American Kennel Club to make sure you are dealing with a legitimate business.
