OOffers information on buying and selling a dog and how to buy and sell. Congratulations! You and your dog can have one of the most fulfilling relationships possible.
However, a dog is a big responsibility, and you must carefully think through the decision to buy one. We'll help you decide if now is the right time to bring a dog into your life, and if so, how and where to get a healthy dog.
We'll help you learn what's most important to you and your family as you welcome a new puppy into your home.
Enamored with puppies? Have questions about your dog's health? Wondering why dogs have such a heightened sense of smell? Want to know why your dog is always panting? Buying a dog...and need advice?
There is an enormous variety of dogs in shape, size, personality, and abilities. Different breeds will have certain characteristics for which they were bred. Ask breeders at dog shows and look them up in breed books for further information. You must consider several things before deciding on a dog:
How much time can you spend with it? Dogs are social creatures. They will not be happy left out in the back yard alone. You must be committed to spending several hours a day with it.
What space can you provide it? If you live in a small apartment, you must take this into consideration: many dogs will not do well unless you expend a good deal of effort in meeting their needs. Dogs can be pretty adaptable so long as *you* help them out. Don't be fooled by size into thinking a dog will be OK in a small apartment -- Jack Russell Terriers require a LOT of exercise. Conversely, many Mastiffs are content to flop on the floor and do nothing at all while you are gone.
How much money can you set aside for it? Even if you get a dog from the shelter or otherwise inexpensively, you will have to buy food, pay for veterinary checkups, vaccinations and routine medical care, and purchase other equipment over the lifetime of the dog. Not to mention replacing anything the dog may damage or destroy, or putting money out for medical emergencies. Do you have the financial resources for this?
