The choice of a dog must be approached responsibly, because a four-legged friend will spend 10-15 years with you. If you decide to purchase a purebred dog, it is best to do it in a kennel.
Instructions
Step 1
Buying a dog in the nursery, you can be sure that a shepherd or Russian spaniel will subsequently grow from a small fluffy ball. In the poultry market, you may well be sold a mestizo disguised as a purebred dog. In addition, responsible nursery owners are smart about the choice of individuals for crossing, enhancing the positive qualities in the offspring and eliminating the disadvantages. By choosing a puppy from a registered breeder, you are acquiring a healthy and beautiful dog.
Step 2
Unfortunately, there are kennel owners looking to make as much money as possible from their animals, selling weak and sick puppies that do not meet breed standards. To avoid this, try to find as much information as possible about nurseries in your area. Visit their sites, read reviews.
Step 3
Go to the forum for your chosen breed. Almost all monobreed resources have sections where dog owners tell in which kennel they took their animals, they also liked the breeders, if they encountered any difficulties. A cattery that has positive reviews from people who understand the breed can be trusted.
Step 4
On the kennel's website, look at photos of parents and puppies from previous litters. Rate their appearance, think if you like these animals. Your future dog will be similar to them, so if you don't like how the dogs from this kennel look, feel free to move on to the next one. Each breeder has his own vision of the breed. Someone prefers strong and stocky dogs, someone likes lighter and slender dogs. Choose what you like.
Step 5
Make an agreement with the owner of the kennel and visit him. Communicate with adult dogs - they must be healthy, with a strong and stable psyche, not showing aggression towards you. Assess the conditions in which the animals live.
Step 6
Do not refuse to cooperate with a nursery located in another city. If he has positive reviews, you like the dogs and the breeder, feel free to negotiate a purchase. Most likely, the owner of the kennel will help you transport your puppy.
