Three things to note when buying a purebred golden retriever

Many people want to buy a purebred golden retriever dog, but they often only pay attention to the height and size of the golden retriever dog, and do not pay attention to some details. In fact, these small details are what you should pay more attention to, because they are quite useful for you. The golden retriever has a health certificate and a household registration book. Here are three things to note when buying a purebred golden retriever:

1. Ask for a health certificate for a purebred golden retriever

Since purebred golden retrievers are relatively expensive, their epidemic prevention and health care measures are relatively strict. When buying a dog, you should ask the original dog for records or certificates of vaccinations and deworming. This record or certificate will be of great help to the dog's future health care. It is not advisable to buy dogs that have not been vaccinated, or the dog owner is required to go to the veterinary epidemic prevention department for vaccination before purchasing.

2. Ask for the pedigree certificate of the purebred golden retriever

Some people like to raise purebred dogs, but when buying a purebred dog, one thing to remember is that in addition to a health certificate, you must also ask the owner for a pedigree certificate. The dog's pedigree certificate should generally include the dog's breed, dog name, dog farm name, date of birth, gender, coat color, breeder, names of other dogs in the same litter, as well as the dog's rewards for participating in competition training, training results, login user, login number, login date, etc.

At the same time, a transfer agreement signed by both parties must be signed, so that the dog can be re-registered and recognized by the relevant dog association. If you do not go through this procedure, your dog will run into a lot of trouble because there is no pedigree certificate when you want to participate in competitions or breed with other dogs in the future.

3. Pay deposit in advance

It is best to pay part of the deposit first, and then wait for 3-5 days to observe whether the dog's body is normal before taking the little golden retriever home. In addition, it is best to ask the original dog owner to find out the dog’s original diet. After the dog returns home, he should first feed the dog the original diet for a period of time, and then gradually adjust the feed. If the feed is suddenly changed, golden retriever dogs will refuse to eat because they are not used to it.
