СКАЧАТЬ unwilling to discuss the health of the puppies and adult dogs, find yourself another breeder. This is not a person with whom you should be doing business because a reputable breeder is very concerned about the health of his dogs and their genetic contribution to future generations.

      Next, ask to see a pedigree of the puppies. A pedigree is the history of the dog’s family tree. It lists the registered names of parents, grandparents and great-grandparents on both the puppy’s mother’s and father’s sides. It also gives information about degrees and titles that those relatives have earned. That information can provide you with a better understanding of the physical conformation and behavioral accomplishments of the puppy’s family. From that, you can draw more realistic goals for the puppy you will eventually choose.

       ARE YOU PREPARED?

      Unfortunately, when a puppy is bought by someone who does not take into consideration the time and attention that dog ownership requires, it is the puppy who suffers when he is either abandoned or placed in a shelter by a frustrated owner. So all of the “homework” you do in preparation for your pup’s arrival will benefit you both. The more informed you are, the more you will know what to expect and the better equipped you will be to handle the ups and downs of raising a puppy. Hopefully, everyone in the household is willing to do his part in raising and caring for the pup. The anticipation of owning a dog often brings a lot of promises from excited family members: “I will walk him every day,” “I will feed him,” “I will house-train him,” etc., but these things take time and effort, and promises can easily be forgotten once the novelty of the new pet has worn off.

       PET INSURANCE

      Just like you can insure your car, your house and your own health, you likewise can insure your dog’s health. Investigate a pet insurance policy by talking to your vet. Depending on the age of your dog, the breed and the kind of coverage you desire, your policy can be very affordable. Most policies cover accidental injuries, poisoning and thousands of medical problems and illnesses. Some carriers also offer routine care and immunization coverage, which are more costly than the others, but may be well worth the investment.
