Buying a Dog - Choosing a Breeder

There are several choices as to where to buy a dog from. You can go to breeders, rescue shelters or pet stores. In this article I will be explaining how to find the right breeder for you.
Buying from a breeder is usually the best way of getting a dog for various reasons. However although the majority of breeders care for their dogs a great deal, some aren't as high standard as you would want. For that reason it is important to only buy from breeders that perform health checks on the parents of the puppies before you buy from them. Dogs that had a great start with a responsible breeder have a much greater chance of going on to live a happy life, so this first decision is important.
There are so many breeders that you will nearly always find a choice for the breed you have chosen very easily. However, finding a breeder that cares about the dogs and isn't just in it for the money is a little harder, so do some research on the breeder to try and find out what they have behaved like in the past.
Like with most things, asking around amongst friends and family who have dogs can often point you in the right direction for finding a breeder. These are sources you can trust to give you unbiased information so use them to your advantage. If you have any doubts about the dogs health, it is often a good idea to go with gut instinct.
Once you have bought your dog, it is vitally important to start training straight away. To find out how to train your dog like a pro, click here [http://www.dogsandyou.co.uk/ebook].
