Purchasing your Maltese puppy from an AKC Breeder of record

Why should I purchase my Maltese or Yorkie puppy from an American Kennel Club Breeder who has been AKC Compliance Inspected?

  1. Without viewing a copy of this compliance report, your NEVER assured your Yorkie or Maltese breeder is adhering to the standards of the breed set forth by the parent clubs of the breed.
  2. Your not assured your puppy is a purebred
  3. You do not know if they are being raised and cared for to the high standards set forth by AKC
  4. You wont know if your puppy is healthy
  5. You wont know if your puppy has been socialized 
  6. You might be purchasing from a puppy mill or a backyard breeder!
What can happen if I am buying from a Puppy mill or Backyard breeder?  
O.M.G. the problems you will have if they are not a reputable AKC Breeder. 
You might have health issues that can be sever or even deadly 
You might have a puppy that is socially disabled 
You could have a puppy that will live a very unhealthy and shortened life.
You might be spending a lot of your hard earned money on veterinary fees.
You might not even have a purebred puppy it can be a mixed breed
You might be purchasing a lot of heartache


Tomorrow I will tell you how to avoid these issues.
The first and foremost way is to request the AKC compliance report.
