The time has come to bring a little beagle dog into your family and you have decided that you want to deal with a beagle breeder so that you know what you are getting. However, like any other industry, there are fake beagle breeders out there that are trying to scam you. You want to make sure you avoid a fake beagle breeder or else you may get an unhealthy pet that could rack up huge vet bills and cause you and your family to make difficult decisions.
One tell tale sign on whether or not a beagle breeder is legitimate is if they offer you pet insurance on your beagle to extend to after the sale. Be sure you get this guarantee in writing as many fake beagle breeders will promise you insurance and then there will be nothing when you go to use it. Insurance companies give beagle breeders free pet insurance that lasts six weeks after you have purchased your dog in the hopes you will be inspired to buy a pet insurance extension so it is no expense to a legitimate breeder.
Your relationship, and contact, with your beagle breeder is an ongoing thing that does not stop just because you took the beagle home. A legitimate breeder will be available for any beagle owner to answer questions and offer any advice you may need.
If you are having a hard time getting your breeder on the phone, or they won't answer any questions for you, then the chances are you have a fake breeder.
Beagle breeders are also supposed to help novice beagle owners with health advice and even guidance on the kinds of foods your beagle should be eating. A good breeder will send you home with detailed care instruction on feeding your new beagle 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 legitimate.
A reputation for being professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and accessible is everything to the business of a beagle breeder along with providing quality pets. You should always be able to stay in touch with a legitimate breeder and if you find that you cannot keep your beagle later in its life then a good breeder will take the dog back but without giving you a refund for your purchase price. At least you will know that your beagle will be taken care of. A fake breeder will not offer that service.
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.
