You may have decided that a mini Aussiedoodle is the right dog to add to your family. They are typically friendly, intelligent, and affectionate, and they're also small in size, making them a good choice if you want a dog that you can easily handle or if you don't have a lot of space. Before you bring one of these dogs home, you will need to find a good breeder to buy a puppy from, since you may have a hard time finding one of these dogs in a shelter. When you find a breeder from whom you are thinking about buying a puppy, these are some of the top questions that you should ask.

Can I See the Parents?

It's always a good idea to ask to see your potential puppy's parents before buying a dog. This can give you an idea of the appearance, temperament, and general health level of the dog's immediate blood relatives. Plus, it can help you ensure that you are buying from a breeder who takes good care of their breeding stock.

How Big Will My Dog Get?

If size is something that is important to you, you may want to ask the breeder about the approximate size that your puppy is expected to be when it matures. Although the breeder can't give you a completely accurate estimate, they may be able to give you an idea based on previous litters.

How Much is the Deposit?

Many breeders will require you to put down a deposit on the puppy that you want if it's not yet ready to be weaned and sold. To ensure that you are able to hold the dog that you want, and to avoid any unexpected money-related surprises, you should ask about how much this deposit will be. You will also probably want to find out when you should pay your deposit and when the remaining balance will be due (often, this is when you pick up your puppy to bring it home.)

Do You Offer a Health Guarantee?

Puppies can get unexpectedly sick or show signs of unexpected health concerns. If this happens, you will want your breeder to either pay the vet bills or give you a replacement puppy. Many reputable breeders do offer a health guarantee, so you should look for a breeder who offers this. Additionally, you should inquire about what you are required to do so that the health guarantee is valid. For example, you might be expected to take the puppy to the vet within a certain number of days after bringing it home.
