Selecting A Pit Bull Terrier Puppy From A Dog Breeder
Many people in the market for a Pit Bull puppy choose to buy
that puppy from a breeder. It is important to talk to several
different breeders before making a purchase so that you can make
the most well informed decision. Breeders should be used to
answering questions, so don't be intimidated when interviewing
one.You need to ask questions so that you can find the puppy
that is the best fit for you.
Serious breeders should be able to tell you all about their
breeding line. They will be able to inform you of any negative
traits or behavioral issues, as well as any health problems that
have occurred with their puppies. Breeders should also be able
to tell you what they have done to improve their methods to
avoid behavioral or health problems.
Breeders should also be able to walk you through their process
for selecting which dogs to breed and what the likely outcomes
of that breeding will be, such as personality, color, health,
size, etc.
You should find out how many different types of the dogs the
breeder breeds. Some feel that it is better to breed only one
type of dog. To ensure pure blood, you would probably want to
select a breeder that only works with American Pit Bull Terriers.
Good breeders have more interest in the breed than just monetary
gain. They should love the animals they have chosen to breed.
Many breeders not only breed animals, but are involved in dog
shows, training, etc.
It is also important to purchase from a breeder that tries to
keep in touch with the people who have purchased his puppies.
This shows that the breeder truly does care about the puppies
and where they end up, and should also be easy for owners to
contact should a problem arise.
Breeding many litters each year can sometimes lead to different
issues, and it is recommended to avoid breeders that do this.
Health of the dogs also tends to decline if there have been a
lot of breeds in a short time frame.
You should definitely ask to see where the puppies are kept,
which will give you an idea of how well they are cared for.
This is just a few things that should be considered when
purchasing a Pit Bull puppy from a breeder. You should research
all aspects before making a final decision, which should help
you end up with the best puppy for you.
