What is the best or ideal puppy dog
Once the breeder is selected, have frequent visits to check that the mother and the puppies are healthy and have a good character. Take all the time you need to ask questions and meditate, as well as in getting to know the person that will be selling you the animal. Once you ran out of doubts, or find any problems, you may use your time to select one puppy amongst all. A regular puppy will come near you right away if you speak softly and tenderly. Otherwise, the puppy is probably excessively shy, as well as if it hides when strangers come to visit the place. Normal puppies are aware of any sudden or any unexpected sounds, but they tend to get over them quickly. Even when the level of submission may not be easy to determine in a young puppy, it is better to prevent choosing a dog that seems dominant within the rest of the puppies, especially if you don't have any dog owning experience. Most of the breeders give the puppies when they are between 6 and 12 weeks old. Theideal age to take a puppy home is between 8 and 9 weeks. Before that, the dog is just learning to communicate with the other animals, and adjusting itself to behave appropriately just as the other dogs do. If a puppy is separated from its brothers too soon, it may never be able to interpret the signals used by other dogs to express themselves. It is very important for the animal's adequate socialization skills to get used to being manipulated by human beings, as well as receiving different stimuli from the exterior before breaking him apart from his mother. A puppy that stays in the shelter with its family after 12 weeks of being born may resent from isolation, but it can be easily prevented by giving the dog different simulative opportunities. Before you take the puppy home, get the proper nutritional information, vaccination history and up to what extent has the animal been exposed to the outer world. It is very usual that you maintain contact with the breeder, especially within the first few weeks, to avoid any problems and answer any doubts you may have.
