Good-to-know Stuff

Getting a dog isn’t at all like going shopping for a new pair of shoes. You shouldn’t be able to stroll into a pet store one day and walk out an hour later with a new puppy. Responsible breeders are a lot more discerning with their prospective dog owners than cashiers at retail or online puppy dealers and would never sell a dog without interacting directly with the owner. If someone is willing to sell you a dog like it’s a pair of sneakers, there’s a serious problem.

The exciting moment in your journey to find a pup has finally come–you’re getting ready to welcome your new pup into your home! Bringing home your pup will feel very similar to bringing home a young child. They can’t quite control their bladders yet, they rely on you to provide food and water, and need your full concentration and attention — if only to keep them out of trouble.
