How to choose the right puppy breeder 🐶

Описание: Today, we're talking about a really exciting moment – welcoming a new puppy to your home! If you've decided to go for a puppy rather than an older dog, getting one from a good puppy breeder is super important.

How to Spot a Responsible Breeder

Let's dive into how to find a responsible breeder. Did you know the UK needs about 800,000 puppies a year? But only 560,000 are born here. So, where do the rest come from? Let’s make sure your puppy is from a good place.

Visiting Breeders

When visiting breeders, they should let you see the pups at their house, maybe when they're around 3-4 weeks old. And you shouldn't take your pup home before they are 8-9 weeks old.

Meeting the Parents

It's a big plus if you can meet the pup's mum and dad. This lets you see what their personalities are like. And it's really cute to see the puppies with their mum!

Communication is Key

A good puppy breeder will keep you updated, answer your questions, and will also want to know if you and the puppy are a good fit.

The Right Environment

They'll show you where the puppies were born and how they live with their mum and siblings. This gives you a good idea of their start in life.

Paperwork Matters

Responsible breeders will have all the right paperwork – like vaccination records, microchipping details, and even a puppy contract from the RSPCA.

Warning Signs

Watch out for warning signs like breeders who seem in a hurry, don’t show you the mum, or want to meet in strange places like car parks.

Choosing Your Puppy

When picking your pup, look for bright eyes, a lively spirit, a clean coat, and no signs of sickness like a runny nose.

And remember, if something feels wrong, it probably is. Trust your instincts, and don’t rush your decision. A healthy, happy puppy is worth waiting for!
