I am thinking of buying / adopting a Labrador puppy in Hyderabad, India. However, I know that getting a pet is a huge emotional investment, more than anything else. I would like to know what I should be ready for when I am ready to buy one:
How can I verify whether the pup is a pure breed (a pure lab) and not a crossbreed?
Is there any vaccination and other tests which need to be carried out on the pup before it's ready for purchase?
Should I be looking for a KCI (Kennel Club of India) certification of the pup before buying it?
What accessories should I buy for the pup at the time of purchase?
