Basic information such as age, gender, temperament, race and history are important, but should also ask their opinion on the dog – how they behave, their preferences – people away. If the documents will show you contact information for the previous owner of the dog, take the time to talk to him / her to be able to learn more about the animal.
Ask if you can interact with the dog’s cage. There are two important things you can learn to do this: one, you will witness firsthand how the dog behaves not limited to two, you will know about you and the dog has to do or feel comfortable with each other.
