~He always has puppies for sale, sometimes two or three litters at a time.
~Does not have veterinary records for at least the mother on hand.
~His dogs have no titles, either showing, working, or sports, whatever the animals are being bred for.
~He won't give references from owners of pups from previous litters.
~He doesn't ask any questions about the environment you offer the pup, just wants to see the cheque (and prefers cash). The puppies are ready to go before they should be (under eight weeks of age).
~Advertises "rare" colors, sizes, etc (such as "rare" white Dobermans, or Great Danes, "king-sized" German Shepherds, etc.)
~Advertises or sells their pups for greatly reduced prices.
~Sells to pet stores, puppy brokers, wholesalers, etc.
~Breeds before the age of two.
