Information About Buying A Puppy From A Good Dog Breeder




Dog breeders to find the perfect dog breed for your family
From: Cute Puppy Dog


There are mainly two ways to acquire a dog or puppy: buy it
in a pet store or directly through a dog breeder. Some people
think it is more expensive to buy through dog breeders but
it is not: pet stores take a huge markup on each puppy they
sell so the prices are usually higher.

Another thing to consider is that when you buy a puppy from a
breeder, you can visit the place where the dogs lives and
see for yourself the conditions they are in. You can also
check if the breeder has won prizes. 


7 tips to choosing a reputable dog breeder

1. Ask the breeder some questions to make sure he knows what
he is talking about.


2. Make sure the breeder is not breeding 10 different breed at
the same time. A reputable breeder will concentrate on one breed,
maybe two similar ones maximum.


3. Ask to see where the puppy are raised. If the breeder does
not want you to see the place, it is not a good sign. Some
breeder might ask you to clean your shoes and hands 
before you go in though, this is to avoid contamination
(for example if you have a cold).


4. Ask the breeder if he does competition with his dogs. Most
reputable (but not all) go to dog shows with their dogs. It
is not an absolute necessity though.


5. Ask for documentation about the puppy to see if it is
registered with the AKC or other well known organizations.


6. A good breeder will ask YOU a lot of question about you
and your family to make sure the breed you want will fit
well in your environment and your lifestyle. 


7. Ask the breeder at what age he lets the puppy goes. A
reputable breeder knows that it is very important for the
puppy to be with its mother from 6 to 10 weeks so the breeder 
should not let his puppy go before 8 weeks.
