Choosing a puppy is an important event in any dog owner's life. For if he selects the wrong puppy and has a sick dog on his hands, or one with a disagreeable temperament or one that is malformed in any way, he may have trouble for the rest of the puppy's life.

Having decided on the breed, you will have to look for the right breeder and the right litter from which to choose a puppy. You must make up your mind whether you want the dog as a pet, or whether later on you would like to show it or breed from it.

Before you go and purchase a Puggle, you need to understand a few things about who you are purchasing from. There are many Puggle breeders that are in it just for the money. These are the types of breeders, such as puppy mills and dog farms, that don't care about the health and well-being of the pups. Telling the difference between a good dog breeder and a bad one is very important.

The best choice for someone wanting to purchase a healthy, happy, puppy is to choose a good dog breeder who knows what they are doing. Remember, this is a commitment of 10 years or more.

The following are a few tips for you to follow when purchasing a Puggle:

• Scan the environment and surroundings.

• The dogs and puppies are relaxed around people.

• Analyze the breeder's personality.

• Find out what type of breeder they are.

• The breeder participates in dog shows or competitions.

• Get references and background information on the breeder.

• The breeder asks you to sign a spay/neuter contract.

• Make sure to find out information about the parents.

• Get a guarantee from the breeder.

• The breeder welcomes you to make several visits.
