Ok, here are some more tips you may find useful-
-Inspect the animal, thoroughly.
Inspect the claws, make sure they're intact.
Inspect that the eyes are clear.
Inspect the fur, look for fleas. Fleas like the back by the tail, and around the face. Also if you see little black specks, this may be "flea dust," coming off the animal, which is the fleas feces. YUCK!!
Check for any sores or hair loss in spots.
Make sure it looks like the proper weight, if it's bones are protruding.
Check the tail.
See how the animal responds to you, it may be shy, but it should not show aggression towards you, the breeder, or other animals.
If you are buying a particular breed, check on what traits and characteristic the animal should have, verify them with the breeder.
If at ANY time the breader becomes agitated or will not answer questions, walk away. They should be cooperative, open, and willing to assist you in your purchase.
