Where You Should Look to Find Your
Puppy
When you are in the market for a furry little friend to welcome into your home,
do not rush into the buying process! Many times people are so excited about getting their first puppy and
raising exactly as they wish that they neglect to see the warning signs that the puppy they may be buying is
not a great choice.
Not all puppy vendors are worthy of
your dog purchase. Sure, any dog deserves a great, safe home to grow up inside, but what if you buy a puppy with a
slew of issues you had no idea you would encounter? This happens quite a bit and many puppy mills are to blame for
this. Some people feel as if any old person can successfully breed puppies and sell them to make a living out of
it. This is simply not the case as many people are not going through all of the breeding steps accurately. They may
not be feeding the dogs properly or giving them their immunizations at the right time and even some mills breed the
dogs in a very untraditional method. Not all dogs should be bred together to make puppies, just as not all humans
are greatly compatible with one another to make a family.
Stick to a breeder that you have done
some research on. Ask your friends, colleagues and family members where they have obtained their dogs or if they
know of any places that are reputable to get one. Always look for a breeder that can provide you with a
certification of authenticity to have your dog properly registered. Many puppy mills and even pet stores do not
provide this and that may be your very first sign that something is simply not right through that breeding
organization. You should also feel comfortable when you arrive to the puppy breeding surroundings. Is it clean
there? Do they allow you to view the puppy when they are in their normal habitat with their mother and other
siblings? If they do not, then chances are you need to look elsewhere for your puppy as this may not be the ideal
situation for a healthy pup.
Some people may be in a hurry looking
for a puppy, they may be seeking one for a gift such as a birthday gift for their child. Even though you may find
yourself in a hurry to find your new addition to the family, still take the time to find one that is healthy and
one that has been given the best treatment to provide you with a dog for life. Do not be limited to buying your
puppy through a pet store or a mill, look on the web and ask around if anyone you know has a set of puppies or
knows of a dog that is a bit older and in need of great new home. Even though some families feel they may want a
puppy for a certain training advantage and to have the dog grow along with the family, keep in mind there are
currently thousands of dogs in the world that are in need of wonderful, loving family to take them
in.
