Rusty is a great dog. Great watch dog, with a good temperament. He is a very handsome boy with loving hazel eyes and deep red coat. He loves to be outside and will stay out all day if you let him. Crate trained. Very easy dog to tend to, just brush and clip nails regularly and he is good to go. Rusty is a great buddy and has a medium to low drive. Give this sweet boy a new loving family and a place to call home! Rusty needs to be the only male dog for a while until he feels secure with his new family. He is not a return and has only known us as his family. He will be the best choice for a real companion for life.

Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
