What questions would you ask a breeder before getting on their waiting list?

What questions would you ask a breeder before getting on their waiting list?

Qs:
How do they raise their puppies? (I've seen stuff that's like 'All of our puppies live in a state of the art heated barn' and that's a red flag). You want the puppies raised in home. Also ask about socialization. If they do puppy culture, that is great. Do they bathe the puppies? Begin potty training? Begin to condition them to dryers and brushes? Have people visit? You want a lot of human contact and a lot desensitization.

If it's not already available, ask what health testing they do- I don't know what samoyeds require, but most large breeds need hips and elbows, and some breeds need eyes, heart, thyroid, genetic testing..... find out what samoyeds should be tested for and make sure they're doing it.

READ THEIR CONTRACTS. Seriously. Make sure that there's no fine print.

Ask if they think that they have dogs that can mush, because that's what you want to do. A good breeder will be honest and if they don't think that their dogs could work like that, they won't tell you they could. Ask which parent dogs they think would be best, and wait for a litter from them.
