Don't get a dog from the Petshop!
Please DO NOT buy a puppy from petshops or so called backyard breeders.
These dogs often are kept under terrible conditions and were separated much too early from their mother and litter-mates.
An important part of the socialisation phase was skipped this way and can lead to serious character deficiencies. Health problems are likely to occur too.
Decisive factors when choosing a puppy should be
- a positive impression of the breeder,
- friendly behavior of the puppies towards humans
- and of course sympathy!
With these points in mind you can expect many years of happiness with your four-legged family-member.
