Questions To Ask Your Breeder about their Cavapoo For Sale
Many dog breeds, including Cavapoos and Mini Cavapoos, can be affected by poor breeding practices that can lead to genetic health problems that are hard and expensive to treat. Asking inital questions about your Cavapoo for sale can help avoid falling in love with a pup that has genetic health problems that could shorten their life.
Are the parents genetically tested prior to breeding? Responsible breeders always engage in genetic testing prior to breeding.
Do you offer a guarantee, and if so, how long is it valid? What’s included? Responsible breeders are transparent about their guarantees, testing, and any warranties offered. They want potential buyers to feel comfortable and transparency builds trust.
- Are the puppies socialized? If so, what is your process? Early socialization is incredibly important to the overall health and wellbeing of your new pup and responsible breeders will have taken that into consideration. Responsible breeders can offer programs, such as Puppy Kindergarten offered here at Jones Farm, or recommendations on how to continue socialization once you bring your companion home.
- Have the puppies received vaccinations? Breeders should understand the importance of vaccinating your puppy. They should be able to provide proof of vaccination and proof of any veterinary care the pups have received.
- Can I meet the puppies and their parents? This answer will vary depending on the breeder. However, at Jones Farm we do not allow visitors on-site due to risks of infection or disease to any new puppies on the premises. We do, however, offer virtual visits with the puppies so you can choose which one you love. And the virtual visits can continue until your pup arrives home to you and your family.
- Do you offer delivery services? Responsible breeders may not be located within a reasonable driving distance for you. It’s imporant to consider this when choosing the right breed and breeder for your puppy. There are a small amount of reputable breeders offering the breed of Cavapoo for sale in the US. Jones Farm is one of them. We offer nationwide delivery with our in-flight nannies – or “mannies” as we like to call them, at an additional cost. If this is a service you will need, it’s important to ask this question early in the decision making process.
- What type/brand of food should the pup eat? Responsible breeders will have plenty of recommendations and should offer guidance on what types of treats are safe as well. At Jones Farm we stay away from the processed chemical foods, and we prefer all natural organic holistic food that has meat first as an ingredient and no corn, wheat, soy, preservatives, or dyes.
- Are the puppies being raised in a facility or in a home with family? The quality of socialization makes a huge difference in the personality of your fur baby. At Jones Farm we raise all of our sweet babies in our home with us and they are socialized here from day one.
If the breeder you have contacted cannot or will not answer these questions with honesty and transparency, that’s your sign to keep researching.
Ethical Breeding Practices
Ethical breeders will be open, honest, and transparent from the start. They will only sell their puppies to people they have met, even if that means virtually. They will typically specialize in 1 or 2 breeds and keep their dogs in clean, safe environments.
Ethical breeders will not sell their litters to pet shops and will breed sparingly. Once it’s time to begin breeding, ethical breeders will obtain genetic tests and health screenings to ensure that both parents are healthy and free of any genetic health problems.
Health guarantees are typically available through reputable breeders as well. Once you decide on an ethical Cavapoo breeder, please know that they will ask you questions as well becuase they care about their pups and the families they go to. These questions are to determine if you and your family are a good fit for a Cavapoo or Mini Cavapoo. At Jones Farm we are here for the life of your puppy.

Warning Signs Of Irresponsible Breeding Practices
There are some telltale signs of irresponsible breeding but you have to know what to look for to be able to spot them. Irresponsible breeders won’t ask you any questions and they won’t allow you to meet the puppies whether that’s in person or virtually. You won’t be allowed to watch the puppies grow from birth. They will always seem to have a large number of puppies available and only require payment from potential buyers. They won’t ask you what your intentions are for the pup and they won’t specialize in just one breed.
Make sure to ask questions and be aware of how potential breeders respond. Also pay attention to the questions they ask you. This can help you eliminate potential puppy mills or other irresponsible breeders. It’s also important to be aware of potential scams because they can and do happen daily. If the potential breeder lacks verifable information and seems to have an offer that’s “too good to be true,” it’s probably best to find a different breeder.
Health Issues That Can Be Caused By Irresponsible Breeding
There are many reasons why you should choose a responsible breeder however, the main one is that irresponsible breeding can increase the occurence of genetic health problems, chronic or otherwise, that can affect your puppy. Irresponsible breeding can also lead to disorders such as hip dysplasia, luxating patella, allergies, and heart conditions. Routine veterinary care and good quality, food and immune support vitamins are vital to the longevity of your Cavapoo.
