How One Should Choose Newfie Puppies

By Brenda Warner


Man has always found a great companion in dogs and the other way is true too. The truth in this statement is multi-faceted. It is arguable that man has the most use for dogs than other animals in the same caliber. However, it is also true that factors such as breed and choice of a puppy are key determinants of the quality of service received. The choice of Newfie puppies determines performance and usefulness. As such, some effort should be invested in the selection process.

Choosing the right puppy is the key to raising a good dog. Depending on what approach one takes, this process can be difficult or an easy one. Either way, possession of knowledge regarding dogs is important. Several considerations need to be kept in mind when choosing and some of the making ones have been highlighted below. There are many others besides these ones.

One should not just wake up and make a decision of getting a dog. The process should start with deciding which breed to purchase. There is great variance among breeds in terms of size, physical appearance, temperament, behavior, exercise requirement, feeding habits, and trainability. The level of responsibility can be understood by first understanding the demands each species poses to the owner. A decision should then base on willingness to accept the responsibilities involved. Busy people should consider low-maintenance species.

The living condition in the house must be thought about before getting a puppy. Enough space for play and movement will be required if one intends to raise their puppy inside the house. Big breeds need more space for them to be comfortable and one must be able to offer it. Big breeds need daily walking and occasional grooming to remain healthy. They have more demands than smaller breeds. Also, larger breeds have more health issues and demand that their smaller counterparts.

Lack of proper training to puppies raised in houses leads to inappropriate behavior. At this point, the importance of having puppies that possess a high level of trainability becomes clear. Their leaning is faster and obedience is guaranteed. One can expect problems with poorly trainable puppies. Already trained and older puppies are also available and one should consider them. Trainers may also be employed to do the job.

Up to this point it is clear that there are several costs one needs to incur besides the initial cost price. Additional expenses emerging from feeding, grooming, training, treating, and walking can make the whole business of getting a dog very costly. One must be prepared to meet all the cost involved, or else they may end up giving away or selling the dog.

Performing selection wisely can help to avoid some of the costs. For instance, there are certain advantages in mixed breeds that lack in purebred. Mixed breeds are cheaper, stronger, and healthier on average. Expenditure on health issues and buying cost can be reduced significantly.

Lastly, approaching a single breeder is not advisable. Comparisons should be done of the various breeders in the place before choosing who to buy from. Seeking the services of a vet during this process is a wise idea.
