Having the pet of your dreams is not just about going to the breeder and buying a puppy. You have to put your long-term goals into perspective. What breed of dog do you want? Pure? Mixed? For what purpose are you buying the puppy? Become a guard dog? Just a companion dog? What gender? All these and more are questions that the future owner of a dog should ask themselves before trying to buy a puppy.
Emotions often get in the way when you want to get a puppy, and you may need to manage them properly so as not to cloud your judgment. Note: all dogs (even poor quality ones) generally look cute and beautiful during puppyhood. You may have to look beyond the innocent face of a baby to get the ideal dog of her dreams (like the proverbial: “diving under for pearls”).
Don’t just buy puppies from vendors. It is important that you take advantage of expert advice or opinions when shopping for your pet. It is very easy for the dupes to sell you one breed for another and not let you know anything until the puppy starts to grow and then you realize you have been duped.
Your safest bet to buy the puppy of your dreams is to go to a veterinary doctor. Let your vet know what your specifics are: gender or sex, age, breed, coat, color, etc. You will also be able to check the health history, examine the animal and get you the puppy of your dreams.
