For the past several weeks, or maybe even months, you have dreamed about the perfect puppy and what he or she would look like. You imagined all the fun you would have and you knew that they would be the most perfect and well-behaved animal that someone could ever own. You also know that by avoiding the dreadful Pug breeder that you would be getting a puppy that was for sure well taken care of. So you are thinking that the safest place to purchase a Pug is from a pet shop.
But you could not be more wrong because Pugs in the pet shops also come from Pug breeders because the pet shops do not breed animals themselves, they are simply the middlemen. So when you are shopping for a Pug in a pet shop, you are still getting a puppy that came from a Pug breeder which is something that you did not like in the first place. In order to get past this and to make the right decision, there are several things that you must consider.
It is extremely important to really sit back and think about why it is so important to you to not purchase from a Pug breeder. If your reasons are because you want to make sure that you get a puppy that is healthy and that will not end up with any behavioral problems due to the neglect that happens in puppy mills, you need to think about a few things. Not all Pug breeders run puppy mills and there are a lot of breeders who take excellent care of their animals and love each of them dearly.
But, the problem is that people are not thinking deep enough to ponder just where exactly the puppies in the pet store come from. The fact of the matter is, that pet stores are not breeding their own animals and they are purchasing them from breeders. So, any Pug that you see in a pet store came from a Pug breeder without a single doubt. The difference is, you were not able to see exactly what type of breeder it was because not all are bad and not all are good.
Now that you truly understand that even going to a pet shop is not keeping you safely away from puppy mills, maybe you can now see that you will have a better chance at getting the healthiest puppy from a Pug breeder that you can meet in person.
This will allow you the chance to look around the breeder's location and to see just how the puppy acts in that environment. If there is any abuse or neglect going on, this is the way to find out as the pet shop will not know or officially care about where exactly the puppy came from.
So make sure that you gather as much Pug information as needed and head out looking for the best Pug breeder around. As long as you know what to look for and what to watch for in the behavior of the puppy around the breeder, you will be off to a great start.
But then again, if you really would rather put the responsibility onto a stranger, then by all means you can pick up a Pug at your local pet shop that got the puppy from who knows where.
