<\/span>\u00a0No one wants to have to give a dog back, of course, but you also need to know what your limitations are and what is practical for you depending on your personal situation. A lively puppy may not be a big deal if you live in a house, but it can be a nightmare in a small apartment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In your puppy search, steer clear of pet shops and puppy mills.\u00a0 <\/span>Unfortunately, pet shops are usually supplied by puppy mills.\u00a0 <\/span>These breeders do it purely for the money.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They treat their dogs like livestock, keeping them in cages, breeding the females over and over again in order to produce more puppies. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You might get\u00a0 <\/span>a good dog cheaply if it is a male, and many of the females end up in rescue when they are seven or eight and no longer able to produce large litters of pups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In some cases, they are ignorant of any knowledge about the dogs they breed, and give only a minimum amount of veterinary care.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This could spell doom for your puppy if he is predisposed to any life-threatening diseases.\u00a0 <\/span>Veterinarians can perform preventive care on breeds that can suffer certain conditions. \u00a0<\/span>You need to thoroughly research the breed of dog you are interested in, in order to become aware of any major cause of health concern before you get your puppy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
