The Dangers Of Fake Beagle Breeders

When you are ready to invest in a beagle for your family, and you intend to buy one from a beagle breeder, you need to be sure that you are dealing with a real dog breeder and not a fake trying to scam you. If you buy from a fake beagle breeder you could be forced to put your family through expensive vet bills and tough decisions because you were sold an unhealthy pet by a fake breeder.

A sure way to tell if you have a real beagle breeder or not is if the breeder offers you pet insurance that offers coverage for six weeks after you have purchased the dog. Legitimate breeders get this pet insurance for free from insurance companies and the insurance companies hope that you will extend the coverage once the six weeks has elapsed. Only legitimate breeders get the free insurance and if you are not offered this insurance in writing then you may have a fake breeder.
Breeders do not just disappear from your life as soon as you leave their property. Legitimate beagle breeders are part of you and your beagle’s life for a long time after 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 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.
As was mentioned earlier you and your breeder should always be in contact with each other throughout a large portion of your beagle’s life. If your beagle becomes ill, or if you find that you can no longer care and keep your beagle, then a legitimate beagle breeder will offer to take the beagle back. A beagle breeder lives 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 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.
