How to Avoid Buying Pets from a Bad Dog Breeder?

Knowing the history of your new puppy will tell
you how it is raised and behaved. If you want to
have a happy and healthy pet then you should know
about its history before purchasing it. If you
found a puppy that looks healthy, it doesn't mean
that it is. You may be excited about how cuddly
your new pet is however you need to understand
where it came from to avoid future problems.
There can be more problems than house soiling if
you buy a dog with a terrible history, you may
also be dealing with behavior problems which are
difficult to handle.

Here is a list on how to spot and avoid a bad dog
breeder so that you will not end up regretting
buying your new pet:

1. A breeder that only thinks about pure profit
breeds more than their place can handle. Often
they overload the cages with animals, further
risking health problems. This kind of environment
is not fit to produce a dog with a good
behavioral pattern and will result in aggression.
Avoid breeders who usually offer you a lot of dog
breeds as they are more likely to mass-produce
and may put the dogs in an unhealthy environment.

If they are good breeders, they spend time and
energy on breeding and raising the dogs so they
do not haggle with the price of their dogs. Avoid
dog breeders who bargain their pets as they just
want to dispose the pet to move on to earning
more money.

2. Keep your eye out if the dog breeder does not
offer you a contract. This probably means that
the breeder is not concerned about how you take
care of their pets and just want to sell the
puppies as quickly as possible.

3. A dog breeder who doesn't have health
certificates for their pets is not concerned
about the health of their puppies. It also means
that their puppies are not vaccinated and will
cause more trouble when you buy them. If the
puppies haven't visited the vet yet, it means
that they may have some health concerns that
haven't been addressed and may result to a sickly
pet.

4. If you visited a pet store or the facility of
the bad dog breeder and it smells dirty then it
probably is. A smelly environment may show that
the breeder does not frequently clean the area
and there may be more bacteria in the vicinity,
clearly signifying sickly pets. It can also be
due to their dog food, some cheap dog food rots
faster than high quality food. If their litters
are being fed with cheap food then it will affect
their health negatively.

A good dog breeder spends time with their pets
cleaning and grooming them. They take care of
their puppies and nourish them according to their
required diet. A good dog breeder always provides
high quality stuff for their pets so that they
can sell them for a justified price.

5. Avoid buying pets that have been kept inside
the crate for a long period of time. A pet that
has been locked in 24/7 will develop a behavioral
problem. The dog may show aggression all the time
as it has no opportunity to socialize with other
pets and humans. It may be difficult to conduct
dog training however with patience and knowledge
it is possible to change aggressive behavior.

You may also contact a professional dog breeder
if you need help in assessing the dog that you
are about to bring home so that you will be
assured that you pick the right dog for you.
