Selecting A Labrador Puppy
By Boyd Norwood, Fri Dec 9th
/p> Labradors are one of the most well known and most popularchoices for dog lovers across the nation. A Labrador puppy thatis trained well will be a loyal and playful friend as well as adependable hunter (if it is a retriever) for its owner. Whenchoosing a Labrador, there are a lot of questions to consider.You have probably wondered if the color of the lab makes adifference in the quality of the puppy that you choose. You mayalso wonder how to find a Labrador puppy that has been bredwell. To those questions and more, you will find the answers inthe following article. Finding a Labrador Puppy that Has Been Bred Well One of the most important things to look for in a Labrador puppyis one that has been bred well. Authenticbreeders will:
1) Be members of the AKC (the American Kennel Club) 2) Will provide you with health records for each puppy 3) Will frequently handle pups 4) Will socialize the pups (e.g. the will not be afraidto play with you) 5) Will in addition remove the dew claws and providethem with their first shots at 6 weeks of age. Will also put thepuppies through a 3 cycle de-worming program to eliminateparasites 6) Will not allow you to take the pup until he or she isapproximately 7 weeks old
Does Color Make a Difference? The beauty of a Labrador is often an initial attraction forpotential dog owners. Labradors are available as chocolate labs,yellows labs (lighter colored yellow labs often appear to bewhite), silvers or black labs. Some people claim that blackLabradors make the best Labrador retrievers, but this is untrue.When purchasing a Labrador from a professional breeder youshould pay more attention to the genetics or the disposition(see paragraph below) of the particular puppy than
to its color.However, if you would like a Labrador puppy for purely aestheticreasons, then feel free to choose the color of your choice. Choosing a Labrador Puppy with the Right Disposition When choosing a Labrador puppy, most potential dog owners want adog with a mellow yet playful disposition. Many well meaningpeople offer advice such as, "Let the puppy choose you." Theysay this assuming that the puppy which runs to you first willprobably be the puppy that would get along best with you. Thisis not necessarily true. That puppy may be the most aggressivepuppy in its litter. Aggressive do not make the bestpets. Here are some tips for choosing your Labrador puppy: * Evaluate the entire litter. If you notice that theentire litter is shy or overly reserved, then regardless ofwhether there are one or two 'friendlier' puppies, you shouldprobably avoid that litter. The genetics found in that litterare not what you are looking for. The same goes for ahyperactive litter.
* Look for that are trusting. Well bred puppiesare curious and trusting. Take out your car keys or make othernoises. Do some of the respond? Take this intoconsideration.
* Look for personality traits in the puppy that you wouldlook for in a human roommate. Ask yourself which arebossy? Which ones are noisy? Which are shy? Which aresubmissive? Chances are, you will opt for the puppy that doesn'tbite or claw when he interacts with the other in hislitter but can still interact and hold his own with otherpuppies.
