Selecting a Puppy

by Tracey Biscontini

If you’re choosing a puppy from a litter, begin by evaluating the litter as a whole. If most of the puppies run away from you, don’t buy one. Healthy puppies should be happy and playful. They might nibble at your shoes or scamper toward you. If the litter is behaving normally, look at each of the puppies individually. Cluck your tongue and jingle your car keys and watch how the puppies react. Don’t select the shyest puppy. Shy puppies almost always grow up to be shy adults. Don’t select the boldest puppy either. A middle- of-the-road puppy almost always makes the best pet. Never adopt a puppy unless you’re sure it’s healthy. Healthy puppies shouldn’t cough, sneeze, or wheeze. Inspect the puppy’s coat and its eyes, ears, dewclaws, and tail.
Bold mine.....

I get what you are saying. So many people do come on here saying they have "adopted" or "rescued" from a byb when they can't handle the truth and own up to buying from and supporting a byb. I know I had my moment of enlightenment when I realized that I had lined a byb's pocket.

Maybe it's because us Canadians are the peacekeepers and like to try to put positive spins on everything. ;). But I do get what you are saying.

While I was scooting through the DPCA site looking for something else, I came across two separate standards, one for Canada and one for the US.

I will look at later, but are they different? Darkevs?

are our breed standards different? is that what you mean.if so, yes, yes they are.


and i never finished grade 10 and hated english classes from day 1 while i was in school, so i cannot be blamed for any grammer stuff.

this is where i would put that smiley face sticking out its tongue, but i can never find it when i want it.
