Things
you should know when looking and before you buy a puppy You
always want to buy a dog from a CKC licensed breeder
who is willing invite you to see where the dogs and puppies are kept, and to
share all related information with you. any reputable breeder does not use
their home and place of residents as a kennel. Reputable breeders have
large fenced facilities (kennels) in the country side to suit their needs
with a large area for roaming, not subdivision back yards. Breeders
who keep their all dogs and pups caged in a house or garage are considered (BYB)
back yard breeders and it is not recommended to buy a puppy from them,
despite their claims of health and show quality. You
always want to see both parents and how they behave and interact with you and
the pups together. You
should without problem be able to interact with pups and parents at the same
time. If not, what is the real reason? Big
question mark? Look
around and observe the order of everything.
Is the kennel a mess with poop and pee everywhere or are the pups already
trained by 6-7 week of age to do their business in one place as not to make a
mess of their area?! Do
the puppies have a large place to play and be puppies at all times?
Or are they locked up in a cage by themselves in the house or garage at all
times or until the time you are there to view them? Not a good sign. Are
they scared of people and sudden movement n noises? They
should not be afraid of you and should want to come see you and have you touch
them and or hold them without any problem. Puppies should not be afraid of
sudden movements or laud noises. By
8 weeks of age your puppy
should already be partially trained. It should come when called. Your pup
should already be introduced and know some of commands such as; sit,
stay, No, no jump, no bite, take it, as well as be trained to do their
business in one area only. Your breeder does all of this training
before you pick your puppy up. All reputable breeders offer a guarantee against genetic health problems; explain that is not a promise of absolute health, but offer info about what will happen if a problem may arise? How many years guarantee? two years is minimal. Attention:
American Dobermans bred for show may not be of best health, temperament
or quality you are looking for in a family pet/protector or companion and may
not produce the best of quality pups. American Dobes in general suffer
from more health related issues than their European counterpart. Proven
fact. If you wish to make a sound decision It’s highly recommended that visit All Breeders in your area and make the choice through your own observations, rather than hearsay or the recommendations or un-backed claims by faceless people in chat forums etc. Will the breeder be available to offer advice and support by phone or in person for as long as you have the dog? The breeder should believe It is important to keep in contact with puppy owners to ensure the success in producing a healthy dog with a good temperament and follow up on the dog as it ages? Ask
them if you get: Training
information in writing, Feeding instruction and perhaps starting kit, Health
record and information about future veterinarian care, copy of CKC registration (Proof
of pure bred Doberman Pinscher), ability to call breeder if help needed, can you possibly bring your
puppy for boarding if your holiday is coming up or due to unexpected travel. I will be expanding on this as time permits |
