But there are several steps you should take first before purchasing that new pet.
Before driving to a dog breeder you should know exactly what kind of dog you want. Depending upon where you live and how much time will you have for your dog is crucial. If own a big house and a big back yard you can go for a larger breed. Doberman, German shepherd or a Great Dane all is big and beautiful. Still there things you need to care. Doberman like dogs are aggressive and do not get along with the kinds and strangers easily. So if you have small kids’ dogs that are friendly with kids and with cooler temperament are suitable for you. Having big dogs means they need more space to play and jump around so if you live in an apartment or a small house small breed of dogs will be suitable for you. Another important thing is how busy you are and how much time can you provide for your pet. If you are very busy than you better bring home a dog which is not much active. Dogs like German shepherd are very active dogs and you must extract time to walk them around and play with them. If you have plenty of time for your dog than that’s not problem that will bother you.
Next, check out what hereditary diseases are known to occur in the breed or breeds you are considering. You can talk to a local veterinarian about dog breeds on your list and find a quick list of breeds and their associated hereditary and congenital diseases.
If you want a dog and if its not compulsory that it should be a pup than you can consult breeder or a rescue organization. Choose a breeder or a rescue organization for the type of dog breed you would like and you can bring home a dog that you might not have to train and it will cost less for you. Doing this, a pup will get a home and you will get a pet.
Once you have some knowledge of the dog you are considering, you are ready for your visit. Breeder will show different puppies and breeds you request and you can get one you fall in love with. Healthy puppies should be active and curious, not lethargic or scared. Check few things before buying the pup. Does it appear healthy? Is it affectionate? Does it obey you?
