Looking to add a new addition to your family?
Why not get a professionals advice? When buying a car you think about looks and maybe even price, but you more importantly you think about how you will use the car: do you need a truck to tow a trailer? or a small compact car to be fuel efficient and get you from point A to B? or maybe a mini-van for family camping trips and kids soccer games?
When choosing a dog people tend to get stuck on looks and forget a dog has breed traits and a personality of his own. In my opinion, many dogs are surrendered to shelters simply because the owner chose the wrong dog to match his lifestyle. I’d like to offer you my knowledge and experience with dogs to suggest what type of dog suits you, your family and your life best, and where you might go about finding this perfect companion.
If I haven’t convinced you and you insist on going about it on your own, PLEASE consider adopting from a reliable rescue organization. If you absolutely feel you must get a new puppy beware of puppy mills and be cautious of dogs for sale on the Internet, in local newspapers and even pet stores. These dogs often come from unsanitary and unsafe surroundings and you could be contributing to breeding for profit from some people that only care about money and not your sweet new puppy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVzSzS3kYgg
Your best options are 1-To find a CKC breeder http://www.ckc.ca/en/, or 2- Adopt a rescue that needs your help http://www.petfinder.com/index.html. There are some fabulous dogs that are looking for families to love right now. It is a cruel MYTH that all dogs from shelters come with irreversable “baggage”. Some of the calmest, sweetest, most reliable loyal dogs I have met have been rescues. There are so many benefits for both you and the dog that go along with rescuing, if you give me 5 minutes of your time I bet you’ll see it the same way!
I know puppies are cute and everyone wants one, but before you commit consider the amount of time, energy and money that goes into raising a puppy. This is a huge decision and I encourage you not to take it lightly. No one ever gets a dog with the intention to neglect, re-home or surrender it back to a shelter, but this is what happens to thousands of dogs daily… and worse.
