Factors To Consider When Selecting Beagle Puppies In California

By Sarah Baker


You have been researching about dog breeds and you finally find one that suits your lifestyle. You are even certain that you have found the right breeder with the most amazing pups. Before bringing home that new puppy, you need pause for a bit and ask yourself whether you are right person for it. The guide below will not only help you in choosing the right beagle puppies in California, but any other breed too.

If you have kids, you will need to find a pooch that is kid friendly. As if that is not enough, be sure that your children are dog friendly too. Having unfriendly kids living with an unfriendly pup could mean serious trouble for you. You must also start preparing your kids and teach them how they will help train the dog. They should also learn to respect her space.

After that, you can now start thinking of where to find the right pup for your family. There are tentatively three options you can use. The first one is by getting in touch with rescue groups. You can also contact one of the local shelters or visit a dog breeder. Fortunately, with so many online sites offering pups for adoption, locating the right shelter should not be a hassle.

Do not visit a shelter if you do not have a plan in mind. You will only make it more difficult for you to choose. Those puppy eyes are known to easily sweep away the emotions of would-be dog owners. You do not want to find yourself in that situation. It is recommended that you look for a shelter that is close to your home, to allow you make frequent visits.

There are several factors one has to consider when choosing a dog. One of them is personality. To get to know the personality of your pup, ignore them at first. However, you should stand or sit near it. This helps the pup to get used to you and especially your scent. Facing or talking to the dog will make it adjust to you. This means that you will not get to know her.

The reason to ignore the dog is to give you the time to learn a few traits about her. For instance, you can tell a dog that is excited and dominant looking at the ears. They are normally perked up and often a held high tail. This state should not be rewarded with attention. Instead, look out for a dog that is submissive and give it your attention.

In most cases, a submissive dog will have a wagging tail that is halfway up and with a head held slightly down. Check out for signs of dominance, anxiety and frustration. Such pups often rush to the front of the cage. Shyness is another trait you need to look for. This can easily translate into aggressiveness out of fear.

Be sure to check the well-being of the pup. They should be kept in a clean kennel and be free from fleas and other parasites. Finally make sure that the pups are up to date with all inoculations.
