what's your purpose for getting this new dog,
is it has a guard dog or pet dog or should serve the same purpose?

I want it for both purposes. And a dog that is huge and nice and attractive to walk with.

I presume you are a first time dog owner,
I would strongly suggest you get yourself a german shepherd dog(GSD)
They are soft and could be fierce if the needs arises.

I have loveable puppies with nice standards at the moment,
you can reach me on 08145796885.
Cheers.

Can I see the puppies with their mum?
Be sure mum is a nice, friendly dog because temperament can be inherited. She might be defensive of her puppies so take that into account. If you’re not allowed to see them together, it might be that they’re not really her puppies!
How old are the puppies?
They must be at least eight weeks old to leave their mother.
Are the puppies weaned?
At seven weeks they should be fully weaned. If they are not, they could be younger than the breeder claimed.
How old is mum?
She should be over a year old, but not obviously very old.
How many litters has mum had?
It is against the law to breed a bitch more than six times in her lifetime. If the breeder breeds frequently they are required to have a licence.
Have the puppies been wormed?
All puppies have worms at birth. Worming should start with the breeder at about two weeks old, be repeated every two weeks and be continued by you.
Have the puppies had any vaccinations? If so, when is the next dose due?
Puppies should be vaccinated at 6-9 weeks of age and then again at 10-12 weeks. They will become fully protected two weeks after the second vaccination. You will need to do this if the breeder has not.
Does the puppy look healthy – clean eyes, ears and bottom?
If the puppy is unwell, collect him another day. If he’s still ill then, do not take him and try another breeder.
What should I feed my puppy? Do you have a diet sheet to take away?
A good breeder will give you enough food to continue exactly the same diet for a couple of days. They should also give you a diet sheet that shows how feeding should change as your puppy grows.
What sort of socialisation or experiences has my puppy had so far?
Puppies should preferably be raised in a home environment with all the noise and through traffic of a normal home. Those raised in kennels away from the house will need more intensive socialisation training to ensure they can cope with daily life as a pet. If puppies have already met other dogs, domestic animals and people they will have more confidence than those that have not.
Can I return the puppy if there are any healthy problems?
You should take your new puppy to a vet for a health check within 48 hours. A good breeder will offer to take the puppy back at any point should you be unable to keep him. Check for essay writing service reviews

you. can basically just ask the breeders about the temperament of the parents and what you should expect from the puppy, make sure the breeder has records of all innoculations till date. if the breeder is not ready to educate you don't buy a pup from him/her. I'm a German shepherd person. and they are my favorite, I'd suggest you go for a German shepherd...I've never regretted owning one.

That a customer likes the which they bought, they have the choice of letting their friends on Facebook know about this. It shows up on their Wall and gets projected onto the news Feed. So check hercules roadeo in Shopozo and earn extra money as cashback

The post is exciting and it takes a look at the questions to ask when buying a dog. It is true that there are a lot of things to consider when you decide to buy a dog. Buying a dog is an important decision you make and the dog should be treated as a member of your family. You should go for a good breed, pick a good color and a dog that you like.

How old is the puppy? What breed is she? Does she have a good pedigree? How much does she cost? Has she had her shots? Can we arrange to see her? These are the common questions that people automatically ask when buying a puppy, but the truth is that potential puppy owners should be asking a dozen other important questions if they want to minimize the risk of buying a problem. we buy houses columbia sc LLC in Mississippi

Other questions are trickier for a lay person to interpret (pedigree and in-breeding details, health tests, vaccines, and anti-parasite medications). However your local vet will be able to tell straight away whether the answers are “correct”, so if you write down the answers, and present the list to your local vet clinic, they should be able to offer you immediate reassurance - or offer an instant warning - about the wisdom of proceeding with a purchase.
