Picking A New Puppy: How To Make Right Decision

Choosing the new puppy is the most important part of the new puppy getting process. You should do a check of all the breeds that you are interested in and then select a couple from there. There are several important things which need to be remembered:
  • How much maintenance will be needed to have a small puppy
  • How often will grooming need to be done
  • Will this be a outside, inside or a combination of both
  • Will this puppy be a family pet or hunting dog
When you have decided on a breed and found a kennel or business that you want to purchase from, you should be taking a close look at the conditions that puppies are living in, if the pen is dirty or not well kept you can be sure that the puppies are not being kept in the best conditions for their health. You also should take a look at the mother of and make a valuation of the kind of nourishment she is being provided.

When you begin to look for the puppy which you want, do the step back andsmall puppy let all the puppies interact with each other, see which ones seem to be the too shy or aggressive these puppies should be approached with slight caution as you may get a dog that will cower at the slightest loud sound or a dog that will be so aggressive and out of control. You should be looking for a puppy that interacts well with all his siblings. I would call this a "wide soul puppy" and this is the one which you want. After you have found a couple puppies that you like pull them away from the litter one at a time and interact with them. Set the puppy down and walk away a few steps and call to it, if it comes to you this is a good sign this means that the puppy should be easily trained and if the puppy ignores you this could mean that it is stubborn and may be hard to train. The next test is to pick the puppy up and cradle it like a baby if the puppy wiggles or resists this it may be the sign that it's going to be stubborn. If it reacts with signs of being scared or anxious this could mean that it will need a little extra attention. The puppy that relaxes would be the best new puppy to choose.
Learn all of these things and you will be rewarded with a fine family pet.
