Caring for Dogs and Puppies (2)



☆The One I Want

After you have chosen the breed of dog or puppy you want to buy, there are some other things that you have to keep in mind before making the final decision.

♪How do I buy ?

Try to buy your dog or puppy directly from a breeder.
They will be able to tell you about the nature of each dog or puppy under their care.
See for yourself how the puppy or dog reacts when you try to pet it.If it is friendly at first, it is more likely to stay friendly when you take it home.
You also have to decide whether you want a male or a female dog.

♪Going To a Pet Shop

You can buy your dog or puppy from a pet shop.
While this is common, you should consider some things carefully before you do.
A pet shp is unlikely to have as much knowledge of a particular dog or puppy that a breeder would have.
Ask about the background of the dog or puppy and what its vet history is in terms of vaccinations.

♪Animal Shelters

An animal shelter is a good option if you want to give an orphaned dog or puppy a new home.
Many dogs and puppies there will have been with a family before, so they might already be housetrained.
Be aware though:sadly, some will have been mistreated in the past. You will have to love them to earn their confidence and trust.
