Buyer's guide

Health vagueness

Health described in fuzzy, reassuring terms — “no known issues”, “sound as far as I know”, “never needed the vet”.

Why it matters

Absence of records isn’t proof of health; vague wording can paper over known problems.

What to ask

Any lameness, medication, or vet visits ever? Can I see vaccination, dental, and any past vetting records?
