So you’ve decided you want to get a dog but aren’t sure where to start?
We’re here to help!
This post will guide you through the selection process and help you ask the right questions to determine the best dog that will meet your needs.
One of the most common questions I’m asked is how to choose a healthy puppy. I’ve always responded by giving people the same list of things to look for. My book even talks about signs of bad health in puppy, discharge from the eyes, dry, matted fur, irregular breathing, and so on. Despite this, the same people would come and talk to me a month later, after they’d gotten their puppy, telling me about the puppy’s health problems.
What went wrong? I’d gone to a lot of trouble to help them in choosing a healthy puppy, but they’d still ended up with a little puppy with health issues.
They fell in love. That’s what went wrong.
