If You Want A Good Puppy, Start With A Good Breeder
By Ron King, Fri Dec 9th
If you're looking for a good dog, you probably should firstlocate a good dog breeder. But it isn't all that easy, unlessyou know what to look for. Fortunately, if you know the signs ofa good breeder and ask the right questions, you should be ableto know when you've succeeded. Just as some brand new cars are lemons, there are also dogs anddog breeders that are lemons. A dog with health problems canlead to great heartache and serious financial losses. A good dogbreeder will stand behind health guarantees and do everythingpossible to make things right should you wind up with a dog witha serious health defect. 3 Types Of Breeders
The first is the person who shows dogs and works hard tomaintain the breed standard. The advantage to buying 1 of theirpuppies is that they test their dogs for common geneticdiseases. They only breed their best dogs, because they arebreeding dogs to acquire a new generation of champions. Thismeans that even their not qualified to show will usuallystill become excellent dogs. The only downside is the pups willusually be more expensive. The second type of dog breeder is the backyard breeder. Thesebreeders rarely show dogs. They generally have a litter becausethey want other people to have dogs just like their own.Unfortunately, backyard breeders rarely test for diseases orknow how to look
for traits that match the breed standard. The final type is called a puppy-mill breeder. They often breedtheir females until they become sick and die. These areoften very poor examples of their breed and may have genetichealth problems, as well as common diseases like Kennel Cough.They seldom specialize, carrying many different breeds of dogs,hoping to have whatever the unsuspecting public wants. Steps To Finding The Right Breeder Clearly, the first type of breeder is your safest choice. Theycan be found through their ads in dog magazines. Or, withconsiderable caution, through the internet. The second type can be located via newspaper classified ads.Unfortunately, so can the last type of breeder. If you go thatroute, be wary of an ad that lists from severaldifferent dog breeds. However you make your initial selection, insist on a homeinspection. You want to see the environment where the puppieswere raised. Besides, you want to pick your own puppy, don't you?
