Puppies are not toys. You hear all the time. But I'll be surprised how many people seem to ignore. Sadly, many people buy a dog that to return to the store or breeder, or worse, a refuge, "a couple of weeks later, I could not manage.
Getting a new puppy comes with a long list of responsibilities. A puppy should be handled with care and respect, but should be eating, exercise, training, grooming, medicated for fleas, ticks and parasites, a veterinarian, just to name a few tasks. Before obtaining a new puppy (and yes, it's a wonderful exciting exciting!) should educate yourself, so I do not mean just reading a book. You should read several books on dogs race or are considering queuing research, ask questions of their friends and owner of the family dog. In brief, you should get all possible information before making the big decision.
So you have time and resources needed to care for a puppy? Stop a moment to reflect about it. You live alone and work outside all day? T puppy to stay alone by himself all day? Puppies, of course, are not ornaments or statues. They need love and attention, just like a normal child of two years.
The question, of course, is not just "Do I have a dog?" but "What kind of dog?" different breeds have different personalities and you should get one that suits you and your family. Maybe you think golden retriever puppies are the most beautiful creatures on the planet, but if you're the sedentary who hates walking and can not afford to hire someone to walk with their gold, receiving this type of dog would be foolish, because gold Retrievers are very active and need to exercise at least an hour a day for adults.
A lady who lives in our street bought a puppy Golden There are some months. She lives alone and works outside the home all day. So far I've seen you walk the dog once. Well, I can say is that my heart is that poor dog. Goldens are very sensitive animals that need human companionship and attention, not mention the question of the exercise. I wonder what in his mind when he bought the dog? In my opinion, it is mostly ignorance, lack of information before purchasing a pet.
Another family I know bought a labrador puppy last year. (The teenager had been asked to a dog in the history of the classical age). The dog began to urinate all over the apartment. Because they knew very little about training, not knowing what to do about it, and I finally returned the puppy to the store. I sure that readers who are stunned by this Labradors measure. Labradors are very intelligent students and surprisingly fast. Do you think the puppy is taught to "go to the bathroom?
To give one last example of how important it is to inform you before purchasing a puppy, let me tell you this story. Another lady I have a puppy few months ago a friend whose dog had puppies. I called a few weeks after she got the puppy to ask how it happened. She said: "It's going very well, but can not get rid of the smell really sucks .. I give a bath a few times a week, but it sucks "Bathing a dog once or twice a week? Who in their right mind do that? If she had taken the time to read a book or two, she knows that some dogs have coats of oil including to protect their skin and serve as a shield against dirt and water. It is this oil that smells, not the dog. But what they ignore is the more you wash, the oil but it emanates and which will suck more. So it was really stinks by washing so often! Not to mention that was also hurt the dog so that it can cause skin disorders and even illness (it was winter).
As you can see, it is important for a prospective dog owner to be informed, and transmit that knowledge to the entire family, especially children before having a pet.
We talked and talked about getting a puppy three years before finally took the big step. In the meantime, I was an amateur "expert" in dogs and had spent most vital information for my husband and children. When problems have arose, I knew exactly what to do and if I did, I immediately called the vet or online research. I Love My Golden retriever, Amigo. It is a bright star in our house, a wonderful gift to us. It depends on me and I will not disappoint.
