Where to buy dogs/pups?

[NgaoCi]

Hi,

Does anyone has any online shops or pet shops to recomend for getting pups/dogs?

Thanks.

[trader_best]

which breed in particular?

[NgaoCi]

Boston Terrier, Pug and beagle....(will get either one)

Farms are cheap in prices unless it is rare breed and I suggest you not going to the illegal breeders...they only want quick bucks and the broods may not be healthy in their quest for profits...

[NgaoCi]

Don't think I will be going to home breeders cos usually they wanna sell off the pups fast and I am looking for those that is at least 6mths or older.

Some of those shop actually brought from home breeder at a lower price and then resell them out..

the end result is still the same sometimes, the home breeder sell the dog to the shop and then from the shop goes to the buyer. Just that the buyer had to pay alot more compare to getting directly from the home breeder.

That is why I ask for the documentation when I bought my dogs...

Hope it has helped...Anyway, if the planning is right...should be getting one direct from States...

actually i have seen some farms treat the puppies very badly last time....and had more chances to see some home breeders that actually take alot of care and pride in their puppies...

so it depends lor....some home breeders are out to make a fast buck...

whereas some are really dedicated and caring

True...true...I do agree...

I personally know of a home breeder couple who are very ethical and has integrity...

oops...am I putting my foot into my mouth!?

farms generally are in it for the business, to them, the puppies are just commodities....and the puppies are lucky they are not dumped around like some LFS dump the fishes on the floor...tat's simply because the puppies can fetch a higher price...

whereas home breeders generally are people who love dogs in the first place and they are excited, happy and overjoyed to be able to share the happiness during the process of puppy-bearing with their dogs....

they tend to spend more quality time/love with their dogs and puppies than the commercial dog-business people...

to the farms, dogs are just work.....to dog lovers, dogs are a great part of life out of work....tat's the difference...hehe

So do I get from farms or from home breeders?

btw, do you guys know how do i get myself started should I really wanna import the pup in?(any url to recommend? wat are the procedures?)

for imported pups, what are the risk that is associated with it? at the end of the day, is it better to buy locally or from overseas?

i cannot forget what i saw 6 years ago in a lorong halus dog farm, it was an early sunday morning before all the crowds came...say about 7am or 8am....can't remember...i was the only one there...

i think they got so used to seeing me that when one puppy...poodle if i am not wrong, was barking and barking, one guy lifted it up with one leg and then threw the whole puppy down on the cement floor...quite a distance i must say

and puppy must have been traumatised after that

imagine what they do when we are not around

6 years later, now, i still cannot forget.....

if u are getting unusual breeds...no choice but to head for farms..but if common breeds....you can consider getting from homes...tat's my personal view

or can get from local source whose father/mother doggie are local show champions also..hehe...

Nope. not gonna get it for competition...just as a companion.

[roidan]

if just for companion, i'll get a stable puppy from a loving family....

definitely beats getting a puppy who have to undergo so many transitions, geographical dislocation, sometimes traumatic situations, before ending up with you...

Hi,

Maybe can try Pick a Pet? I went to d one @ Holland V (Pet Lovers) seems to have a wide range of puppies and d puppies look healthy and well taken care off.

Btw, y would u 1 2 look 4 puppies around 6 mths old? Tot better 2 get a younger puppy so that u will be able to train them easily? Just my personally opinion.
