These “puppy farms” are profit-oriented and are therefore natural breeding grounds for animal cruelty.

They are often malnourished as a result of the cost-cutting methods of these farms.

Do not go for sellers who will exchange the puppy for cash and then walk away. A great breeder will leave you with a way to contact him or her in case you change your mind.

Another way to find the best kinds of Boston terrier dogs for sale is to look for the proper documentation. Often, true breeders will be able to provide pedigrees that can trace back the lineage of a puppy. Through this, you know that you are buying the best.

Kelly Marshall asked:


Adding a puppy to your family is an exciting event. One of the things you can do to make this addition go smoothly is to find a reputable breeder from which to purchase your puppy. A reputable breeder will only sell you a puppy that is healthy and well-socialized.

What is a Reputable Breeder?

A reputable breeder is knowledgeable about their breed. They will be able to discuss common health problems with that breed, and offer proof of medical testing to show their lines are free of those issues. All puppies will be well cared for and well socialized with people, other dogs and household pets. They will be able to tell you what they are striving for in their breeding program. Are these show dogs? Working dogs? Do they breed for a personable, friendly temperament?

A reputable breeder will have both parents of the litter on the premises for you to meet. The puppies will be clean and their surroundings will be well maintained. They will interview you as a prospective owner as much as you interview them as a dog breeder… maybe more. They will offer to take the dog back if for any reason it doesn’t work out.

How Do You Find a Reputable Breeder?

While it isn’t a guarantee, if a breeder is registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC), it gives you a place to start. Other sources are to go to local dog clubs or shows and ask about reputable breeders for the breed you are looking for. They may have some good tips or leads for you to pursue. You may need to wait until a litter is available, so don’t let your enthusiasm for getting a puppy override your common sense. It is better to wait for a quality puppy than get stuck with one that ends up with health problems due to bad breeding practices.

Additional Tips for Finding the Perfect Puppy

Don’t ever buy a puppy sight unseen. Photos are not good enough. A good breeder will insist on meeting you as well.

Find out how many breeds the breeder handles. More than two breeds may be indicative of a puppy mill rather than a professional. Likewise, tread carefully with backyard breeders who may have a litter “just for the fun of it.” They may not know what to look for or provide the proper medical care to the puppies after they are born.

A reputable breeder will never let a puppy go to a new home before they are at least eight weeks old and properly weaned. Younger puppies may be cute, but if they are weaned too early or incompletely when they go to their new home, they may end up with health issues.

Never buy a puppy because you feel you need to “rescue it from terrible surroundings.” This only serves to keep disreputable breeders in business and encourages them to continue. Pet stores are not good places to buy the puppy of your dreams. Many of these puppies come from puppy mills and may not be free of health problems or socialization issues.

Purchasing a dog is a big event. This dog will be a part of your family life for at least fifteen years. Take the time now to do your homework so you get a dog that will be a happy part of your family.

le want to become good dog breeders. Dog breeding and doing it properly is an expensive hobby. There is the picking up of a good bitch, waiting for her to become old enough before breeding, choosing the best dog for her to mate with, and undertaking all the health checks she needs, and ensure that the dog you need also passes through the same health checks. There are potential extra expenses during pregnancy, you have to pay a stud fee (or return a puppy), you have the time at your disposal, and can incur the expense of whelping. The puppies are to be kept for a minimum of 8 weeks before sending them to their homes.

There is the need to advertise and look for good homes before sending them to their homes. As a breeder, you also need to see that the dogs have had their shots before going. You may be and ardent dog lover and want to better a particular breed of dogs. You may devote your time and energy to bettering a particular breed of dogs. Often this requires breeding dogs of a particular bloodline, thus creating particular traits that will be passed down through future generations. There is the requirement to have one or two un-neutered female dogs. If you have two or three adult dogs, you may not even need to register your kennel.

A good dog breeder does not want to use dogs with major blemishes. The breeder may show the dogs to endeavor to have a championship before breeding them. This increases the value of the dog’s future puppies. It also leads to the breeder networking with the people who know the most about the breed. The dog may not get a championship but a few wins and the dog exhibitors will take you more seriously. If one of the exhibitors has a dog with characteristics that will even out any of the flaws that your dog has, then you can breed show quality puppies.

Moses Wright asked:


If you have the idea that dog breeding is an easy business with easy money to be earn. Think again. It is in fact a difficult task with huge responsibilities. There are many things to attend to during the dog breeding process and it might not even be profitable at all!

To begin with, you must have high-quality parents when you begin to breed. There are already an abundance of unwanted mutt dogs in the world. Although there are some more shelters to house the mutts today, many still end up being put down. Only by choosing high-quality parents, you can ensure that your puppies offer the best qualities of the breed and have better chances of finding excellent owners for each litter.

The best way to find good parents is to review their medical histories. The parents should both be free from hereditary diseases and have been tested for infectious diseases. Lastly, it is very important for both parents to exhibit good temperament. You don’t want to have puppies that are unfriendly and unaffectionate towards their potential owners.

Breeding is always risky for both the mother and the father. E. Coli, strep and other bacteria can be common problems when breeding in the country or on a farm. You will need to take extra effort to ensure healthy mother and puppies from these bacteria strains.

Not all of the puppies are sure to survive the birth or time thereafter. Some puppies die during whelping, which can be emotionally difficult. The effects of dying puppies and sick moms are a risk that comes with breeding animals, but should not be an overall deterrent.

Breeding and whelping the puppies can take time and cost money. A whelping box is needed for the puppies, as well as heat lamps, thermometers, hemostats and other medical items to help the puppies and the mother during this vulnerable time. You need to hands on and have a good gauge of how to use the instruments before your new puppies are born.

After the puppies arrive, the mother will look after them for roughly 3 weeks. The mother will instinctively know how to keep her puppies under control, bath and feed them. The new puppies, however, will need a safe and private place to stay during this time so that the mom feels that her babies are protected. She will also need access to go outside whenever she wishes to avoid accidents. If she is housetrained and on a schedule, it may be disrupted during this time and sometimes, she will just need time away from the puppies.

You will need a lot of fresh newspaper or similar material to keep the puppies and the area clean. The material will need to be changed frequently in order to keep the area safe from bacteria and other messes.

Puppies need to stay warm at all times. Hypothermia is the leading cause of puppy mortality, so heat lamps with an automatic thermostat are important equipments during the upbringing of the puppies. You will need to keep the puppies around 75 - 80F although the mother may get uncomfortable and move farther away from the heat.

Most breeds will be continually attended by their mother, but they often whine and bark at night. They will sleep an hour, get up to go the bathroom and then want to play. They will settle down, but you might be cleaning while they are sleeping and not get any rest for yourself. Typically, this pattern starts at the second or third week and lasts up until the eighth or ninth week. If you ignore them all night, you will have a large mess on your hands in the morning and a higher risk of infection in the puppies.

You will need to bring the puppies in to be in to get their shots and be checked by the vet. Then you will need to find the puppies good homes. You must be ready to experience some form of emotional loss when your puppies left for their new house and owner. It’s a bittersweet time for puppy and owner.

A dog breeder can be a a rewarding experience if you can deal with all the hassle involve in your dog breeding activities. You can take pleasure in the joy of adding a new member into a new family, as well as create lifelong friendships.

Matthew Hick asked:


Selecting your new pet dog can be quite a task, especially since there are so many types to choose from.

Some people want a dog with a disposition that will be a perfect fit for them, their family and their lifestyles. When looking for a dog, the humane society is filled with many possible choices that will yield an ideal companion. But, if you want a more reliable indicator of temperament, health and other factors, then a dog breeder can usually fulfill your needs. Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a dog breeder is to take your time. It shouldn’t be a rushed decision, and you should make sure you are dealing with a reputable and established professional.

In your search for a dog breeder, you can seek the guidance of veterinarians, other pet owners, local kennel clubs and boarding kennels. They know many breeders and can help refer you to some of the better ones. Once you have established a list of possible choices, the interview process can start. It is a good idea to contact and see as many breeders as you can. In doing so, make sure you tour their facility and talk with them in person.

When you go to the breeder’s home, there are many things to look for that will indicate their qualifications. Initially, observe the place where the dog is being raised. Take notice if the dog is kept in the home, around family, or in a caged area. A good breeder will raise the dog in a healthy, clean, roomy environment, where it can interact with people, and not in a confined space. Examine the dog’s appearance and its personality. Is the dog friendly and happy to be around new people? There may be a problem with the way it was raised if it shies away from you. Does the dog look healthy? Ask to see the litter it came from and one, or both, of its parents. A good breeder will want you to spend time with the puppy’s parents. Also, the dog should not be afraid of the breeder. It is wise to avoid a breeder who has a large number of dogs; this might indicate he is operating a puppy mill and not a dog breeding service. A good breeder will only breed one or two types of breeds. They will usually not have any ready and will, instead, have to place you on a list for the next litter.

Next is the questioning period. Ask the breeder questions, and expect him to ask as many in return. A good breeder is concerned with the welfare of the dog and will want to be sure it is getting placed in a good home. He will ask questions about your lifestyle and will want to meet the whole family. The breeder is very knowledgeable about breeds, their temperament and feeding, as well as, possible genetic problems. Take advantage of this knowledge to become more informed about your future pet.

A good breeder will also offer advice and guidance on raising your dog, and provide assistance to you even after you have taken it home. They will also offer a contract and a health guarantee, since testing on the dog will have taken place. They will present medical records from veterinarian visits. They will also supply you with references from other families who have obtained pets from their service.

Looking for a good dog breeder takes time and investigative work. By observing the breeder’s living environment, and asking questions, you will be able to pick a reputable breeder who can pair you up with a pet that will fit your lifestyle perfectly.

Sandra Stammberger asked:


Dog breeding is a delicate process of mating two specimens from a similar breed to be able to develop offspring of the same, distinct and consistent qualities, which often include behavior and general characteristics.

Dog breeding is said to be a combination of art and science. A quality dog breeder must have knowledge both on the genetics of the specimens he breeds and the over-all health of his dogs. At any rate, he must have an in-depth knowledge of the breeding standards, which agree with the conditions for which each type of dog must be bred.

However, not all breeders conform to the set standards. Usually, they are those who are after the profit alone, with little concern on the over-all welfare of the dogs. These type of breeders are classified into two:

· Backyard breeders- small scale breeders, which conduct ignorant breeding practices. · Puppy farms or puppy mills- are the big businesses, which operate in the same manner.

But size and motive alone are not really the substantial basis for quality breeding programs for there are those excellent dog breeders who run their own businesses at their barns, homes and backyards. And there are large businesses that have knowledgeable and efficient staffs of dog breeders with expertise on veterinary care.

According to some resources, one may identify a quality dog breeder through his program of breeding and his attitude towards breeding dogs. The following is complied to provide the standards of a quality dog breeder:

· An efficient dog breeder must sell directly to the pet owner or the buyer and not through pet shops and the likes. · He must be able to show you the mother of the litter. · A quality dog breeder breeds only from the best dogs, meaning the dogs have the exemplary characteristics both in performance and temperance. · A dog breeder must be able to provide you with the certifications of the dog and x-ray, clearing the dog from dysplasia or hip crippling. If in case he was not able to provide you with these documents, then he must be able to tell you the reasons behind. · A reputable dog breeder must at all times sell pet puppies under the contact of prohibiting the use of puppies for further breeding. · A responsible dog breeder must be able to provide you with written materials concerning the developments and the essential needs of the puppy. · A good dog breeder must be a member of a registered club or and he must observe obedience to the code of ethics of the institution. · He must exercise responsibility over the well being of the dog he breeds.

The future of dog breeding Cloning is now being exercised in dog breeding. Actually, the first cloned dog is named Snuppy. This aims to reproduce a genetic twin of a dog, having the same characteristics and properties. However, this practice is still expensive but research points out that it is achievable in the future. This eliminates the waiting period for buyers and may even customize the ability and performance of the dog breed. Meaning, they can replicate a dog champion and produce a new one on demand, which carries all the characteristics of the said dog.

Popular dog breeds According to the American Kennel Club, the following are 2004’s most popular dog breeds listed from first to last: · Labrador Retriever Breed · Golden Retriever Breed · German Shepherd Breed · Beagle Breed · Yorkshire Terrier Breed · Dachshund Breed · Boxer Breed · Poodle Breed · Shih Tzu Breed · Chihuahua Breed

4. Dog Training: The Process of Making Your Dog Civilized

Dog training is correlative with educating dogs. This is done to adopt them with the social demands expected from them. Like for instance, they are expected to behave in the manner that man thinks is proper. However, some of which may be against their nature of behavior.

In effect, dog training was created because man acknowledged that certain dog behaviors may only manifest on specific conditions. An example of which is the dog behavior wherein they will only repeat the action if an affirmative reaction was attained on the trainer’s part. Conversely, if they were punished for such behavior, chances are that they will not repeat the same conduct. This principle is then combined with proper training methods to encourage the repetition of the desirable behavior.

Interestingly, dog training is at its prime if the dog is still aged six to eight weeks old. This stage is said to be the most ideal juncture for dog training. The theory in here is that puppies are not yet accustomed to reacting to its environment, this way you may still control the over-all behavior of your dog. Yet, this does not negate the fact that more matured dogs are non-trainable. In actuality, they are but as with many other animal species, it is more difficult to train them at this period.

Undergoing your pet to a regimen of dog training will recondition his system for eliminating misconduct and repeating desirable behaviors. In addition, this may also become a preparation to diminishing the future dog behavior problems. House breaking is often an issue. This typically concerns dog bhavior problems on elimination of waste like ********** and *********. Also, there are natural behaviors which may become a problem if the dog is not properly trained, examples of which are scenting of territories and ground digging.

Dog training is easiest when you successfully structured a specific environment wherein your dog will react in well-defined, affirmative ways. It is important that this environment is consistent to further guide the puppy into following specific orders. Also, this will prevent the confusion, thus quicker and more productive dog training. For example, if you are consistent in rewarding your dog every time he achieves a desirable reaction to a specific command, then he will be able to identify his affirmative response with a treat. But if in case you missed for several times in giving him his reward, chances are he would hesitate following the orders.

In the whole process of dog training with your puppies, it is essential that you recognize the limitations of your pets. He does not have the endurance that most adult dogs posses. Allow him to rest at intervals to rejuvenate his used up energy, then proceed with the training. Also, it is possible that if the puppy gets tired with training, he may altogether lose interest in the routines. In addition to this, it is recommended that only mild methods must be employed for harsh training may distract the puppy’s learning and may destroy his confidence level.

There are certain institutions offering dog training, these are often termed as dog schools or dog academies. They train your dog for proper behaviors and they train you to train your dog. They may hone your dog’s skills using different training methods developed specifically for dog training while developing in you the fundamentals and techniques to serve as good foundation for you do it yourself dog training.

Lee Dobbins asked:


Buying a purebred dog is not something that should be taken lightly and not all breeders are equal. To make sure that you get a good quality dog that will be healthy and happy, you need to do some research and shop around.

The Pomeranian breed standard weight no more than seven pounds, but there are many Poms out there that weight 12 or even 20 pounds! While these may be great dogs and make good pets, they are not to the standard and you should not be paying the full price for a dog that will grow to this size. But how do you know how big a puppy will be?

One way to get a good feeling for how big your puppy might grow is to check out the parents. Are the parents tiny or large or just the right size? Than chances are your puppy will be the same size as the parents. If all the Pomeranians the breeder has are to breed standard and healthy, then this is a good sign that your puppy will be too. If the breeder will not show you the parents, then this is a red flag and you should keep looking for another breeder.

But how do you find a good Pomeranian breeder?

One way to find a good Pomeranian breeder is to get in contact with people who already own a Pom. Maybe somebody you know already owns one? Find out as much information about the breed as you can. If you go to a pet store, talk with people. Pet owners love to talk about their pets. If you see a Pomeranian that is exactly what you want, find out what breeder he was purchased from and check them out for potential candidates.

When buying a dog, you need to be armed with all the information you can get. Research Pomeranians on the internet and in books. Know that it is important to become an educated consumer BEFORE you buy your dog from a breeder.

When you talk with breeders don’t be afraid to ask questions. Honest dog breeders will be more than happy to talk with you and answer every question. Note the condition of dog’s environment. Are the dogs pens clean? Are the puppies well cared for? Can you see the parents? What type of puppy food are they being feed? Have the puppies had their shots? Reputable breeders love their animals and go to great lengths to provide a proper “home like” environment. Puppies are products of their surroundings. A good, clean environment will surely be reflected in a dog’s playfulness.

Stay away from breeders who are interested only in making money. They generally don’t pay much attention to their dog’s emotional needs and health concerns. Also, they may in-breed their Pomeranians and this can trigger severe health issues. AVOID THESE BREEDERS! Reputable breeders will be more concerned about the welfare of the puppies then the money and will probably grill you as to your home environment and ability to care for the dog.

Some breeders may offer a 72 hour guarantee. This allows time to take your Pomeranian puppy to a vet for inspection. If any health issues are identified, contact the breeder and get your questions answered.

Good, honest Pomeranian breeders care for their dogs and it shows in their surroundings. There are no guarantees that you will always have a normal, perfect puppy, but you greatly increase the odds when you do your homework first
