Puppies


Buying a Puppy

Buying a puppy is not a simple purchase it is a commitment. I heard once that the average length of ownership on new cars was less than five years and the average carrier was eight. This puppy will most likely live 10 to 15 years and in many ways may be more demanding.

 Owning a car is simple other than adding gas and changing the oil there isn’t too much to think about. You don’t have to train it or let it out one last time each night before placing it in the garage.

 

Things to consider:

·        Chessies tend to bond very closely with the owner and the family. It can be difficult to find a new home for an older dog especially one that was not trained. Bringing any dog into your life is a big move please be sure that this is the right step for your family.

·        Training takes time and you have to be consistent. There are a lot of books and articles on this subject that we highly recommend reading before you bring your puppy home.

·        Have a plan on how you are going to train and take care of the pup before it comes home. (Don’t forget Christmas at the in laws back east etc…)

·        Ask a lot of questions! Make sure that you are completely familiar with the typical characteristics of the breed you choose. Remember everyone has different criteria as to what is important to them in the purchase of a puppy and the breeder will not know yours if you do not share it.

·        Pure bred dogs are typically bred for a purpose  - be sure that you are familiar with this breeds history.

·        Make sure you know what the adult version of this dog looks like. You will live with it a lot longer than the cute little one that you take home.
