Pedigree Puppies – Best Advise On How To Choose One

Buying a pedigree puppy need not be a challenging as you may think

. Follow these fantastic tips to make sure your purchase goes smoothly and how you can get the best puppy of the bunch.

You may opt to start from scratch and to buy a pedigree puppy. If you have done your research, you will have probably worked out a shortlist of two or three breeds you like and which will fit into your lifestyle. You should now try to find a suitable breeder.

The best place to contact breeders is at a dog show, but many of the minority breeds are quite scarce and you may have to go on a waiting list for a puppy. The choice of breeder is really important, so if you don't like him or her do not buy a puppy from them. The ideal breeder has a policy of breeding sound dogs, both mentally and physically, will take advantage of all the modern veterinary technology as far as genetic tests are concerned, and will be interested in the puppy's future life. Be prepared for some searching questions about your lifestyle, and, in return, a good breeder will not be offended if you ask leading questions about their breeding history.

From your research, you will know which, if any, genetic anomalies affect your favourite breeds. One of the most frequent in the larger dogs is hip dysplasia. The best breeders have been working on this problem for many years and are succeeding in reducing the incidence in most breeds. You should have found out the average score for the breed and the breeder will show you either the parents' scores or the mother's Kennel Club score sheet. If the score is very much higher than the norm, you would be well advised not buy one of the puppies, however cute. There are other genetic tests, particularly for eye conditions at affect some breeds. The Kennel Club will be happy to advise you about any genetic abnormalities that may be present in different breeds.

Choosing between a dog and a bitch is not easy. Bitches are presumed to be gentler and more biddable, but many owners claim that dogs are more sensitive. The problem with bitches is that they come into season every six to nine months and must be kept away from males or puppies will ensue. Spaying the bitch and castrating the male prevents the problem and does not affect the character of either.

Take your family to see the puppies, which should be over eight weeks old when they leave their mother but make sure the children are under control. If the puppies have not encountered children before, they may be disturbed by them. Always ask to view the puppies mother. This will enable you not only to see the fully-grown size of an adult dog but also, and more importantly, to judge her temperament. Whichever sex you have decided upon, ask the breeder to remove the others and then examine the

puppies individually. Look for any sort of discharge from the eyes, the mouth, the anus or the vulva - if any is present, don't take that puppy. The runt of the litter should also be discounted. On no account, be persuaded to buy a puppy at a lower price because there is something minor wrong with it'. Therein lies trouble. If everything looks good then watch for the most extrovert puppy: the one that approaches you boldly, full of curiosity and happiness. Harden your heart and ignore any puppies that creep about apprehensively.
