So you have decided that it is time to add a new member to your family. An excellent choice indeed, but now you need to find the right breeder to ensure that your new addition is not only healthy, but also the right match for you and your lifestyle. Are you an active person? Are you away from home alot? Do you travel for work or recreation frequently? Do you have children now or are you thinking you may in the future? How much time can you devote to grooming and exercise of your puppy? Are you prepared for the expense of immunizations of your puppy? A good way to start is to make a checklist of what you can and cannot do and what your schedule actually is. This can definitely help when deciding which breed of dog is best suited for your lifestyle.

Purebred Breeders can help you make the right decision when making a choice. The first thing is to evaluate your lifestyle and know what type of dog you are looking for;(high energy for running with you, or a more relaxed breed to sit on the sofa with you. You also need to seek out the desired characteristics of each individual type of dog, not only the breed because a certain type of breed is not a guarantee of temperament.

A responsible breeder does not sell puppies to just anyone who shows up with cash in hand. Very often, many unsuspecting people will buy puppies from a puppy mill, or maybe buy one from their neighbors who breed puppies to make extra money, or they have a dog with “papers.” More often than not, the results are puppies with poor health and or problems in temperament, which are not discovered until later. Purebred Breeders works to ensure this nevers happens with their puppies.

There are many tips that one can follow when selecting a puppy, and Purebred Breeders does just that. For example, at Purebreed Breeders, they ensure that areas where puppies and breedings dogs live in spacious, clean and well-maintained areas, and are not shy or afraid of strangers.

Purebred Breeders also have a checklist that must be adhered to in the best interest of you and the puppy:

1. The potential new owner needs to explain why they would like a puppy.
2. The potential new owner should be able to explain who in the family will be responsible for taking care of the puppy’s daily care and training and where the puppy will spend the majority of time.
3. Proof from the landlord. If the potential new owner is a renter, it is a good idea to have as validation as this can have serious consequences for the puppy if the new owner is not permitted to have a pet. Many times dogs end up at the shelter or on the street because of this situation.
