| In an attempt to help protect consumers from unreliable online breeders Quail Ridge Kennels respectfully suggest: Before purchasing a new puppy online please take these few simple steps to help insure your puppy was bred and raised by a professional, caring, competent breeder. 1) Ask Questions: Get to know your breeder and allow them to get to know you. 2) Ask for References: You may want to communicate with their veterinarian of record. 3) Ask to See the Kennel: If a personal visit is not possible ask to see pictures of the kennel facility. 4) Request a Photo: To insure ownership ask the breeder to take a photo of the desired puppy with the current date or a specific item or word. 5) USDA Licensed Breeders: Adopt your puppy from an inspected UDSA licensed breeder. 6) Cheap Online Puppies: Over populated, substandard kennels often offer cheap puppies for sale. 7) Be Confident: If you have any doubts regarding a breeder don't buy. For Quail Ridge Kennel's Veterinarian Reference call the Paris Veterinarian Hospital at (479) 963-2221 |

| ALERT! Please be aware that many Chicken Jerky treat brands that are manufactured in China have been making small dogs very ill along with killing them. Symptoms are: lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and anorexia (total lack of appetite except for the treats). To see this alert from the American Veterinarian Medical Association go to www.avma.org click on Pet Food Alert line and then click on Chicken Jerky Treat alert.) Our two adorable Cavalier King Charles puppies, Lacie, 11 months, and Misty 7 months old, had been eating Smoke House Chicken Jerky treats from Pet Smart on a daily basis (not as a supplement for their food, but as a treat after their evening meal). They both became very ill in July with the same symptoms, such as; lethargy, vomiting, diarrea, and anorexia (total lack of appetite except for the treats, which they loved and looked forward to). The test started showing signs of kidney failure which made no sense to the vets because Misty and Lacie are not related, and Kidney failure is rare with puppies.
