There are times when a particular dog just seems to call your name and I do not mean by barking.
I mean the type of bond that instantly takes place when you look at a dog and the dog looks back at you, as a result, sparks fly.
However, no matter how high the sparks fly, you should still listen to the breeder.
For instance, if you find yourself enamored by a certain dog, but the breeder has objections, I suggest that you listen to the breeder very carefully.
If you fall deeply in love with a shy dog and you want to bring him home to a large, loud family with other pets running around the house, you may be making an emotional decision and you're not taking into account what's best for the dog.
Keep in mind, the cuteness and fuzziness of a dog can make anyone think irrationally.
However, if the breeder, rescue, or shelter worker thinks you'd be a good match with a particular dog, you should still listen to your instinct.
But for the most part, the breeder, rescue, or shelter worker is knowledgeable enough to help point you in the right direction.
Taking care of the paperwork Although petting and playing with a puppy is a lot of fun, it is not the only thing that goes into purchasing a dog.
Unfortunately, you will have to deal with some red tape.
When it comes to the legality of it all, you're making a purchase; therefore, you need to do your research just as if you're buying a house or a car.
You need to make sure that everything is on the up and up before you sign the paperwork.
In case you didn't know, you will be asked to sign papers.
Even adopting a dog from a shelter comes with a lot of paperwork.
Therefore, you should learn about all of the different paperwork that you would be required to sign so that you have an idea of what you're getting into.
This will help you to understand how the paperwork protects you as the purchaser as well as the breeder, the shelter, or the rescue group, and most importantly, the dog.
