What do you look for.....
Lets pretend you are going to buy a washing machine for $499 at your local home improvment store. Would you just go to the store and pick one out and buy it? Would you do some google on brand reviews? Would you get consumer reports?
Now, when you do actually purchase your new washing machine,,do you get the 'extended' warranty?
So lets apply this to dogs. When you go out to find that next family member, do you just pick the first breeder and buy that cute puppy? Oh it is so cute!
Do you show up and see puppies all over in horrible conditions, so you buy that puppy to 'save' it? Poor thing needs a good home!
Do you spend a couple months contacting people, doing some breed specific research and talking to not only breeders but owners? Do you make sure the breeder does the health testing they claim to?
At the very least, what would you do?
After all you could possibly spend more on that new puppy purchase than your new washing machine. Not to mention your initial puppy price is just the beginning of a life time of expenses.
To be continued....
