So how to buy a purebred puppy and not be disappointed in the choice?
It is important to remember the most important, but simple rules of purchase:
1) A purebred puppy ALWAYS has documents!
Always. There are no exceptions. Everything else is mongrels. A mongrel can be taken for free from the shelter. And you will do a good deed and save money) All "unscheduled mating", "children of love", "puppies from domestic dogs" - this is a huge chance to get either a sick animal (because if mom and dad are healthy and do not have marriage, then the children have documents) or a crossbreed. That is, the appearance of your puppy can be very different from what you eventually wanted. And mom and dad can be close relatives. Remember how the dynasties of the pharaohs degenerated and think...do you need it?))
Under the documents, we mean the PUPPY'S METRIC. This is a sheet of A4 format with the puppy's name, the number of the puppy's brand, the names of the puppy's father and mother and the blue seal of the club \ kennel. You can use the phone numbers listed in yandex. Metrica to call the kennel club and find out if they actually issued documents for this puppy.
In the future, the metric is exchanged for a PEDIGREE indicating all the ancestors of your pet.
2) The cost of documents for a puppy is very low.
300-500 rubles the cost of documents for a purebred puppy. Don't you believe it? Call the kennel club.
There is an opinion that a puppy "for yourself"," for the soul " can be bought almost 2-3 times cheaper if you abandon the metric.
3) Veterinary passport is not proof of breed!
Having a veterinary passport only means that your four-legged friend is vaccinated, treated for worms and fleas.
4) Each purebred puppy has an average market price.
Yes, it is. Some breeds are at the peak of popularity, the price of such puppies can "bite", and a high-quality puppy of an unpopular breed can be bought "for a penny".
5) Healthy puppy - active puppy.
Have you ever seen a litter of 8-9 puppies? Yes, they are small explorers, rodents, curious snouts. They will surround you from all sides, try to "bite" your pants, hair, be sure to grab sharp teeth in your hand\nose, explore you from all sides.
If the puppy is sluggish, not active, not positive-this is in most cases a puppy who has something wrong with his health or psyche.
