GENERAL INFORMATION ON BUYING A PUP IN INDIA

For the general information of Dog lovers planning to own / buy a puppy i suggest below some precautionary and possible steps that may be taken in order to avoid being taken for a ride by some of the unscrupulous breeders :

EXAMPLE CERTIFICATE BY KCI

Do not make any financial commitments before you see the Dog physically.
Take the help of a Veterinary Doctor and see the Dog physically.

• Ensure yourself that you get whatever is promised.
• Insist for a copy of the Registration certificate if the Breeder claims it is registered with the Kennel Club of India.
• If it is registered, scan for Microchip with the help of a Vet as every Dog registered with KCI must compulsorily be micro chipped.
• Do not fall prey to false promises and statements like “ we have applied to KCI for registration, the process will take 4-6 months , there is no microchip available” etc..etc.. We take only a maximum of 30 days to complete the registration process and dispatch of Certificates to the Breeders /owners.
• Never make any Cash payments. Pay only by crossed Cheque or thru Bank which may help you later in case of any hassle.
• Always insist and get a proper agreement executed and signed by both parties involved which again will help in case of any dispute.
• Never commit yourself just on the basis of an email / face book or a chat thru any other social media.
