This month I got reminded fo the importance of choosing the right breed, the right puppy. Most pups are bought on emotions and appearance, which leads to disaster. If you looking for a purebred dog, you need to look at the general qualities associated with a certain breed. Some are hyper, some are stubborn, some aggressive. Not every dog in a line fits the mold, but I can predict in most cases what to expect based on what is waiting for me in the exam room. Consider a couple helpful online aids. AKC.com an online aid: http://www.akc.org/future_dog_owner/find_breed.cfm
Also, Iames has one too that I like: http://www.iams.com/iams/breed-information.jsp
Next month I will address what applies to all purebreed and mixed dogs: Which puppy in a litter is right for me? Where should I go to get a pup?
