Choosing A Puppy From A Litter | Choosing A Dog

So you're ready to take the plunge, you've decided to bring a little puppy into your life.

That's great, but you've still got some important decisions to get right before you select your new housemate.

It's very tempting to simply pick out any of the cute little pups that bound up to you as you visit your puppy breeder. But take your time, do some research and look a little deeper. Choosing a puppy is an important long term decision, why not do everything you can to get it right?

The 8 week mark is the ideal time to pick your puppy up from the breeder. Before this time your puppy needs to be with his/her mother and siblings for his development and socialization. A Good Breeder Makes Choosing A Puppy Easy


Choosing a puppy is an important step towards ensuring you end up with a healthy, well adjusted and happy long term companion.

Once you bring your puppy home it is then your responsibility to provide proper socialization and obedience training. This will shape the temperament and behavior habits of your puppy and set him up to thrive in society.

Good luck - I hope you find you and your family a great puppy!
