The Havanese Breeder: Do Your Research



When people think of purchasing a full-bred puppy, many of them automatically think of their local pet shop. But this may not be the best choice at all and there are many reasons behind it. A pet store does not generally see where their puppies come from, what type of living conditions they had, or if they were being treated properly not only in the physical sense but emotionally too. Often times, these puppies end up coming from what is known as puppy mills.

A puppy that comes from a puppy mill is not one you want as they may end up with problems that are not visible right now. And when selecting a puppy from a pet store, you are not likely to get a salesperson that has extensive knowledge about your puppy. They generally just read over a small description of the dog when it comes in, unlike a Havanese breeder who has studied these dogs for years. Pet store employees cannot provide you with the detailed information you need in order to properly make the judgment call if that puppy is the right one for you.

In order to make sure you have a well-rounded puppy, you will want to get yours from your local Havanese breeder. And you must make sure that this breeder has more for their breeding then love for the puppies, but they also need to have a lot of knowledge about the breed. This is so that you can ask the questions you need and get the right answers to better prepare you for your new life with your Havanese puppy.

It is best to prepare a list of questions you have just to make sure that you don't get caught up in the moment of picking out a cute puppy instead of educating yourself in what their history is and what to expect from the Havanese. Make sure you investigate the puppies home and surroundings so that you know your puppy is not coming from a puppy mill. The breeder should have plenty of love for the pups and Havanese information for you to review and think over and this is not something that you will find with pet store employees.

Time is really what you need to give yourself when deciding you are ready to select a Havanese puppy. You want to make sure that you are selecting not just the right puppy for you but the right Havanese breeder as well. Not paying close attention to a breeder's lack of love or knowledge about the dog can lead to several serious situations down the road. It is always best to try and avoid surprises with the ownership of your Havanese. And surprises are all you will get from a Havanese bought from a pet store.

You want to avoid costly vet bills that arise because you were not properly informed of the Havanese and their special needs, if any, or because they came from a puppy mill and were poorly treated in the beginning. Make sure you take a list with you and do not allow yourself to feel pressure from a breeder. You should be allowed to inspect the home of the puppy to see what in kind of environment it has been living. Take your time, ask questions, and pick your puppy with care and you shall have a happy life with your new Havanese puppy.
