Buying a Puppy from a breeder

Disreputable dog breeders, who are usually in the "puppy-farm" business just for the money, can wreak misery and death on the innocent animals that would otherwise be lifelong pets and friends.

There are some simple guidelines that, if followed, could put such people out of business, and give a dog a long happy life.

Trading Standards recommendations for buying a puppy

bulletBe wary of outlets offering more than one or two breeds
bulletWhen visiting the seller note the surroundings
bulletVisit the puppy more than once
bulletAsk to see the pedigree papers and ensure the breeder's name is on the certificate
bulletThe breeder should want to know about you too
bulletAsk to see the puppy with its Mother - be very suspicious if you can't

Puppies bred commercially, indiscriminately and carelessly are likely to…

bulletDevelop disease
bulletHave temperamental problems
bulletFind adjusting to family life hard
bulletBe difficult to housetrain
bulletSuffer physical defects and have hereditary weaknesses

Think carefully before buying and do not buy the puppy because you feel sorry for it.

Dog Rescue

Battersea Dogs Home is devoted to finding dogs  loving and permanent new homes.

A dedicated team interviews everyone who wants to offer a home to a dog  and their unique computer matching system helps them find the perfect match.

The average stay for a dog at Battersea Dogs  Home is 23 days, but some dogs end up staying  a bit longer through no fault of their own. Sometimes a dog needs an extra-special  home, with experience of their breed, temperament, or they may be unsuitable with children or other animals.

Whatever the reason, the dedicated staff here at the Dogs Home take care of them until the right owner comes along.
