Until very recently I have always allowed people to come to my home to view  their new puppy. Several events have caused me to change my policy on home visits. I understand that some people may not like my new policy, however, through experience of my own and  others this the best way I know to have peace of mind for my family, dogs and home.

First of all this is my home not a place of business, for our safety and our dogs’ I have decided not to allow strangers into our home any longer.

Puppy diseases are easily spread even by the most casual contact. The best breeders will not allow their puppies to be seen or handled until the puppy as had its first set of shots and do everything in their power to  keep their home disease free.

Then there is the biggest nightmare, thieves and other criminals. People have had their puppies, dogs and personal property stolen right from their homes, all because they had a puppy for sale and allowed people into their homes to see it. This happens more than people realize unfortunately. The AKC has  published an article warning "Breeders need to be aware of home visits by potential puppy buyers" link follows:

 don't forget Bobbie Jo Stinnett, the girl from Missouri that was murdered in 2004, and had her unborn child cut out of her womb all because she allowed some woman to come to her home to see a puppy she had for sale.
