How to Buy a Puppy

• If you have made the exciting decision to get a
  new puppy, youre probably ready to bring one
  home as soon as possible.
• Not so fast, thoughyou will need to take the
  time to figure out which breed is the best fit
  for you, pick out your puppy from a reputable
  source (breeder, animal shelter, rescue group)
  and prepare your home for a puppy.
• Taking your time to do your homework and learn as
  much as you can will go a long way in ensuring
  that you and your new puppy will share a happy,
  lifelong friendship.

Decide what breed is a good fit for you

• Research breeds with characteristics (e.g., small
  dog, calm temperament, etc.) that make them a
  good fit for your life situation.
• The AKC has a matching quiz that can help you
  choose a breed.
• Dogs come in all shapes, sizes and personalities.
  
• Choosing the wrong breed can result in heartbreak
  for all if you realize that he is not a good fit
  for your home.
• A few examples of important factors to keep in
  mind include your living situation (apartment vs
  home)5 and work schedule (regular work hours vs
  constant travel).

Visit shelters in your area. 

• If you are not as particular about what type of
  breed you want, consider going to a shelter to
  meet puppies in person.
• When you are the shelter, ask questions about the
  puppies history and behavior.
• Also, try to observe the activities at the
  shelter to determine if the dogs are well taken
  care of.
• Animal shelters can be stressful environments for
  dogs because of the noise, number of dogs, and
  high level of general activity.
• Some dogs may develop behavioral problems while
  at the shelter.
• The staff at the shelter should inform you if the
  puppy you are interested in has any behavioral
  issues.

Buying a Puppy From a Breeder

• Not all breeders are reputable, so you will want
  to know which ones to consider and which ones to
  avoid if you want to buy a puppy through a
  breeder.
• One type of breeder is a hobby show breeder.
• Hobby show breeders are highly knowledgeable
  about a dog breed and invest considerable time
  and energy into selecting an optimal pedigree and
  raising show quality puppies.
• These breeders will typically raise only one or
  two litters per year.

Visit the breeders location

• You should never purchase a puppy through a
  breeder without having visited the breeders
  location.
• It is very important that you see where your
  puppy, his littermates, and his parents were
  housed and raised.
• A responsible breeder will actually encourage you
  to visit multiple times so that you completely
  comfortable with his or her physical location and
  business practices.

Choosing the Right Puppy

• Physically exam the puppy. 
• Puppies are ready to be adopted between eight and
  twelve weeks of age, at which time they are
  weaned from their mothers, able to eat solid
  food, and have received the first round of
  vaccinations.
• A puppy may look healthy at first glance but,
  upon closer inspection, may have some physical
  abnormalities.
• If you see signs that the puppy is not in good
  health, you may need to reconsider adopting the
  puppy.
• A good way to physically exam a puppy is start at
  the head and work your way to the tail.
