    Choose The Right Pup

    There is a lot to keep in mind when making this decision

    29 January 2015

    For all those moms and dads who are thinking of buying your child a puppy as a present, think again.

    Julie Tobiansky, an instructor at Cape Province Dog Club, shares some insight on how to choose the right puppy. ’Most people spend more time choosing a new car than they do a puppy. It is vital that you do your research before you make your selection,’ she says.

    Never

    • buy a puppy on impulse
    • buy a puppy as a gift
    • buy a puppy you feel sorry for
    • choose a breed based on an individual dog you have met
    • ever get more than one puppy at the same time
    • take a puppy under eight weeks old
    • buy a puppy from a pet shop, a dealer or over the Internet

    Do

    • consider your (and your family’s) energy levels
    • consider your reason for wanting a dog
    • research the breed/s you are interested in, extensively
    • buy from a registered breeder
    • chat to a number of breeders of your chosen breed
    • visit a number of litters before making a selection
    • meet both the parents of the puppies
