In my last article, I talked a little
about what to consider when
thinking about getting a new
puppy or dog for Christmas. Here
are a few more ideas to consider
that I hope you will find helpful.
Think about getting an older
dog rather than a puppy. A puppy
is, by far, more cute and you will
have more control over its learn
ing but you have to consider the
puddles on the floor, the chewed
shoes and furniture and the time
it takes to properly train him/her.
If the dog is a pure bred, then you
will have a good idea of the adult
size. If you get a “mixed bred”
you may end up with a size you
had not wanted. Most Vets say
that the size of the feet is a good
indication of the adult size- a
puppy with huge feet may turn
out to be a huge dog but again
that’s not certain. A puppy needs
more supervised playtime and
more patience on the part of the
owner for teaching acceptable
behaviors.
An older dog, over nine months,
keeps himself entertained better,
the size of the dog is more obvi
ous and the characteristics of the
dog can be seen. This allows you
to determine grooming needs, etc.
An adult dog may have developed
some behavior problems but you
“can teach an old dog new tricks”.
The teaching sessions needs not
be as frequent with an older
puppy or dog.
Now where do you find your
perfect dog? One obvious place
is a pet store. You need to be care
ful about this since many puppies
come from “Puppy Mills”, where
people bred dogs to sell the pup
pies. The quality of the puppies
can be questionable and Pet Store
puppies tend to be expensive. Ads
in the newspaper are a second
option; this usually allows you to
see one of the dog’s parents. But
be careful, some people will tell
you most anything to make a sale!
Rescue Leagues are organizations
that usually only have one breed
of dog and the people who run
these places are very knowledge
able about a particle breed of dog.
The Humane Society should have
a list of Leagues in your area. The
Humane Society or Animal Shel
ter also has puppies and dogs.
This is my recommendation.
Many times, the staff will know
something about a particular dog
and can also help with recom
mendations about a dog’s tem-
around the dog. Most important,
with any dog you get, make ar
rangements to have the puppy or
dog check by a Vet before a sale
is completed
Well, I’ve run out of space so
next article, I’ll talk about what
breeds of dogs are good with chil
dren. Thanks for reading —
