Just a pic of the vaccination?

 

Major red flags

 

Every puppy should have it's own certificate come with it and microchip paperwork 

 

The parents or the puppies to be dna'd

 

 

Yes it sent red flags with me big time, l was trying so hard to be "Responsible" l thought this was the site to go to as Breeders had to be registered to advertise on here, l didnt realise they can still "hide" behind that and Puppy Farm, he said the parents had to be DNA tested, l thought this would all have to be done before he can sell "purebred" puppies

I've never used pet insurance because it didn't cover regular vet care, and my breed is generally healthy until advanced age, when they wouldn't be covered.

Australian consumer magazine Choice didn't recommend any pet insurance schemes. They might have even won a "Shonky Award" one year. You may do better to put an amount of money aside for emergencies. I've learned they charge higher premiums for certain breeds. 

Just spent $18K on my Wolfie and cant count how many more thousands on my other 4 Lab Rescues all needing cruciate, I looked into insurance for this one as they have an "overbite" and may need extensive dental work in the future, but after reading all the recommendations on here l dont think l would bother now,
