2. Define the place of purchase. You should not buy a puppy in poultry market. Most often there sell not purebred dogs or the half-blooded under the guise of thoroughbred. But it not the most terrible. In the market it is impossible to estimate objectively the state of health of an animal, to make the assumptions of its character and habits. If to you not the breed, but character is important, go to the next animals shelter. Volunteers with pleasure will show you all dogs, will allow to get acquainted with them, will tell about destiny and customs of each of them. Those people who essentially want to take a thoroughbred puppy have to be guided only by manufacturers.

Probability is high, as puppies, even when will turn into adult dogs, will be happy with each passerby on the street, literally rushing under legs. Normal reaction of an adult dog to appearance of the stranger near her cubs – watchfully the raised ears, a direct rack, the interested look.
7. With puppies it is possible to carry out the simple test to make the assumptions of their future relationship with the owner. Put a dog on a back, holding a hand on his breast about 30 seconds. If the puppy tries to be released in all ways, without neglecting teeth, so at him inclinations of the leader. Strong in spirit and persistent dogs usually coil, touch paws, but then recognize leadership of the person. Shy and obedient puppies will not begin to resist in general and waiting will look at you.
8. It is important to estimate the state of health of a puppy also. - You should not take a dog 7-8 weeks are younger. - The nose has to be cool and damp, mucous bright pink, teeth clean, without visible defects. - Fluffy, brilliant, free wool – good sign. - Eyes of a puppy have to be clean, clear. Look whether the third eyelid reddened, whether there is no inflammation. - Ears have to be clean, flavourless. If the puppy constantly scratches ears a paw or the infection or a tick winds the head, so of him. - You should not take too fat or too thin puppy. - The stomach of a little puppy should not be excessively inflated (these are the first signs of existence of worms and improper feeding).
