Things you need to know before buying your puppy
Please put these
things under consideration when buying a puppy, this
experience will give you 15 years of happiness but also
responsibilities to assume.
With the right conditions
and decisions you will make sure that your pet will live
those 15 years.
THE NEW ENVIRONMENT
Your home may not be 100% ready for a new puppy. Your
new puppy will be quite small in size but will still be
able to get himself into trouble. Puppies are like
babies and love to play with everything. This means that
things at ground level that may cause a mishap; will need to be considered.
Puppies tend to put everything into their
mouths. Things like electrical wires and cords need
to be secured.
Another concern for your new puppy can be household cleaners and
poisons. Many people have household cleaners, bug and rodent
killers on low level shelves in their homes. For
instance,
you would want to make sure these items are placed on a
higher shelf when your toddler who is crawling around. This is important because virtually all of
these are considered to be poisonous to a puppy.
Household plants can be very harmful to your puppy. Some
plants are very poisonous to animals. Plants such as
Aloe Vera, Eucalyptus, and Baby's Breath are very toxic,
just to name a few. It is always best to check with your
local veterinarian before you bring your puppy home. The
vet can tell you which plants you may need to get rid
of.
It
is best to remove all objects from the floor and lower
areas of your home. It is recommended that you get down
to your puppy level and see what they see. This
can help you spot any problem areas and issue that you
might have otherwise over looked.
The toilet is another issue for a puppy. You must always
remember to keep the toilet seat lid down. Certain
cleaners in the water and in your toilet bowl can be
very toxic to animals. Also your puppy could fall in
head first and may not be able to get a grip to get out.
It is always recommended to keep the seat down.
If
you have a balcony or porch, you must not leave your
puppy unattended. Sometimes puppies tend to get to sneak
through the bars or find a little opening. They can slip
right through before you even have time to notice they
are gone. Also if your balcony is on a higher level this
is very important to remember because your puppy could
slip through the bars and fall, this could cause serious
injuries or even death.
ABOUT VIDEO AND PICTURES
Most of people rely on our videos
buy our puppies. The most playful and active are the
ones who normally sell faster. In fact, most of very
playful puppies are NOT playful when they are put to
our stage for a video footage. Why? because of the
following reasons
-
In order to take a video, the
puppy goes through a normal bathing and hair drying
process and (Most dogs don't like to be bathed),
this is a little stressful experience for them,
despite we dry their hair, also the change of
temperature makes the puppy start shivering and
people may think that the puppy is scared or sick.
-
The studio where the puppy stands
is mounted about 5 feet away from the floor. there
are 2 tables, one big one (bottom) and the small one
where the puppy stands. This is made for video and
photo precision but there are side effects, most
puppies will notice this height and be a little
afraid of it.
Example: Carry a very playful cat or puppy and lift
it at your own height level. You may see that their
their playfulness disappear, but if you put them
back on the ground, they go back to playtime mode.
It is very entertaining to see your
puppy playing before you buy, but unfortunately our
videos are not meant to display their true temperament
or personality (if there is any at this young age).
Our videos are simply meant to show
you the puppy in full dimensions because in a video
there is more view than in a picture.
The same thing happens to some
pictures. Sometimes a puppy moves too much and we can't
get the right position (Puppy looking down, up, left or
right) and that's why we sometimes are unable to post a
happy looking puppy on a photo.
All puppies are happy and playful,
there may be a slight difference in temperament between
each other, since these are family oriented dogs, I am
sure they will fit perfectly in your family.
If you look on our
references, those
puppies were randomly selected and as you can see,
PEOPLE LOVE THEM!.
REGISTRATION PAPERS
Please don't buy a puppy for its papers, (AKC,
Pedrigree, etc), buy a puppy because you are in
love with him/her and because you will love him/her
unconditionally.
PRICES
Never buy a puppy judging the price.
Prices are just
relative and a
higher priced puppy is not any better than a lowered
priced puppy. Different breeders have different concepts
or standards on their prices and that is how prices can be very
relative. A lower priced puppy has the same friendly and
healthy conditions as the expensive ones so please don't
pick a puppy for its price, you should buy a puppy
because you fall in love with him/her. They all have wonderful
temperaments and are great for families, see our
references if you doubt it.
GENDER
Don't set preferences on a gender. As long as you
spay and neuter you will not have any problems on
either gender.
Unfixed females get their hit and bleed for around 10
days, they can mark territories and may become very
dominant and a hamper too.
Unfixed males can start marking territories and may
become very dominant and hampers too.
Despite these breeds are not aggressive, when they are
fixed they will have less tendencies to be aggressive.
Please fix your dogs before the age of 6 months.
SIZE
One of the reasons why we don't sell teacups, mini tiny,
micro-mini, mini toy, etc. is because they are prone to
-
Hypoglycemia
-
Genetic problems
-
Eye problems
-
Accidents
Some get Hit by a car, others killed by a bigger
dog, and the #1 threat of teacup dogs are "CHILDREN".
I know what it means to love your child, and I hope
I don't hurt anyone's feelings here but a lot of
tiny dogs are either hurt really bad or accidentally
killed by children. Despite it is not their
intention to do so, children are naturally accident
prone, regardless of how responsible, smart or
gentle your child is
to you, you can't never feel safe about your little
dog.
BE A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER, as much as
you love your children you should love your pet and
consider the best of the options. A safe size as a
pet for your children should never be less than 10
Lbs as adult size. Not only children are prone to
hurt a little dog, adults can do it too. And
possibilities for accident get worse if you are an
elder person since your reflexes and sight is not as
good as it was when you were younger.
Probably you heard this before "my niece, friend,
son, etc. has a teacup dog and the dog is fine" well
statistics don't lie, and you don't want to take
your chances the way they do.
If a friend drives
without seatbelts and has not had any problems does
not mean that he will never have.
A lot of
people don't even consider safer options until
something bad happened to them.
PET QUESTIONS
-
Are Second or multi generation
Poodle Hybrid dogs
hypoallergenic?.
Yes, regardless of their generations. A puppy will always be hypoallergenic
if both parents are hypoallergenic, this is common sense.
-
Are only first generation
Hybrid dogs healthier?.
In fact, the more far away you go from a pure breed the best chances to get
rid of the bad genes and come up with a genetically healthier dog. Purebred
dogs were initially created by mixing some breeds to come out with a cute
look, in order to keep the line and standards, they did a lot of inbreeding
which was another type of cloning.
(Click
here to learn about pros and cons of inbreeding). As long as there is no
inbreeding your multi generation designer dogs, they will always have better
chances to be healthier than pure or even than 1st generation dogs.
-
Is it true
that only Males are hampers?.
Males and females hump. In fact,
humping is not a sexual
behavior, it is a dominance behavior and can be prevented by spaying or
neutering your dog before the age of 6 months.
-
Males pickup their legs when they urinate,
does that makes
females better pets?.
Unfixed Males and females will mark territory
to show dominance when they
feel unsecured.
Unfixed Males pick up their leg to urinate.
Unfixed females will have their period every 5-8
months.
Unless you are planning to breed them you should
have them fixed.
-
Which one has
better personality, male or female?
Everyone has different experiences, I personally
love them both. But based of what some people say...
Males may bound to more than one person.
Females may bound to only one person.
A Male may stay playful regardless of his age.
Females may not be that playful once they reach
adulthood.
