Buyer checklist

A clear checklist before you contact a seller

Before you send the first message, slow down and check the basics. A good shortlist starts with fit, budget, and whether the puppy really belongs in your home.

Before inquiry

Confirm breed fit, budget, and timing

  • Do I have time for daily care?
  • Does this breed fit my home size?
  • Is the budget realistic for setup and care?

Seller questions

Ask for the facts that matter

  • Vaccination and deworming status
  • Registration and parent details
  • Pickup or delivery process

Red flags

Spot weak listings early

  • No recent photos.
  • Vague health answers.
  • Pushy urgency without proof.

Buyer checklist flow

  1. Choose a breed page and read the temperament fit.
  2. Open a listing and review the photo set, price, and seller details.
  3. Use the consult form with a short, direct request.
  4. Compare response quality before moving forward.

Short questions convert better

Keep the message compact. Ask for health, age, registration, and timing instead of writing a long paragraph.

Good leads are easier to serve

When the page answers the basics early, both the buyer and seller move faster and with less confusion.

Message checklist

Health proof

Ask what vaccinations are done, what is due next, and whether deworming is up to date.

Identity proof

Request parent details, registration status, and any papers the breeder has on hand.

Timing

Confirm when the puppy is ready, how handover works, and whether a call is possible first.
