When choosing a dog, you should first look at the size of your family. There are three kinds of pet dogs: large, medium and small. As pets, large dogs have higher requirements, requiring their owners to have enough places and economic foundation, because large dogs need a lot of nutrition and sports venues to grow up healthily. Medium-sized dogs are medium, and so on. Small dogs have little nutrition and land, and there are many kinds. Bomei, VIP and Beijing all belong to small dogs, so look at your site and economy first!
Thirdly, the characteristics of the owner also determine what kind of dog is suitable for raising. Dogs that are quiet or have old people and children at home who need a quiet environment are suitable for quiet and docile dogs, such as Labrador, Golden Retriever and Little Beijing Dog. If a cheerful, playful and lively owner is suitable for dogs with cheerful personality and clear barking, such as huskies, Samoyeds, Pomei and VIPs!
The role of a dog also determines whether it is suitable for its owner. Dogs can be divided into working dogs and pet dogs. Working dogs need special training before they can enter the work. These dogs have a specific division of labor. For example, German shepherds are suitable for hunting, golden retrievers are suitable for searching medicine, Labradors are suitable for guiding the blind, huskies are suitable for sledding, and most folk dogs are gatekeepers. Such dogs can use Kunming and German shepherd dogs, which are not too expensive. If they are pets and companions, they are mostly small dogs and dogs.
Finally, the purchase and domestication of dogs. The breed and pedigree of dogs affect the appearance and price of dogs. Dogs with high pedigree are more expensive than dogs with impure or inferior pedigree, and dogs with beautiful appearance are also more expensive. The dog's character also depends on the master's domestication. A well-domesticated dog will have a higher degree of obedience when receiving education. Before buying a dog, you should be fully prepared, that is to say, you should at least know what kind of dog you want to have and what kind of dog you want, so that you can have a clear goal. Focus on the dog's appearance, size, color and approximate market price (online price can only be used as a reference). If possible, it's best to look at the photos of this puppy and adult dog online to make a psychological spectrum. Second, market choice.
The choice of market is equally important. Here I only focus on regular kennels, large dog markets and mobile vendors. Regular kennels: Regular kennels are characterized by a fixed business address. Most of the sources of dogs are well-known kennels at home and abroad, and puppies are bred by themselves. The feeding procedures and technical specifications are standardized. Therefore, the quality and blood system of dogs are also very good, and the price of dogs is relatively high for the above reasons. Generally, it will be twice the market price of dogs, and individual racing dogs and popular dogs may reach 4 to 5 times. However, with the development of the pet industry, many kennels began to cut prices sharply. After all, it is a market economy, and any industry must follow the law of supply and demand. Large-scale dog market: This market is actually a bit like a monopolistic competition market in economics. The price of each seller is basically the same, and they all have their own special varieties. Due to fierce competition, the price is relatively low. However, the source of dogs in this market is uncertain, there are good and bad dogs, and most of these vendors are private, so it is hard to say what their reputation is. Because it is a big market, dogs are concentrated, and the probability of disease infection is relatively high. This is also the reason why many friends get sick after buying dogs from there. Mobile vendors: These people are like street vendors selling pirated CDs. If there are still some hardcover pirated products in the big dog market, they will definitely sell pirated products and parallel imports. Just like telling you, this is the shaven skin of a local puppy, and the dots are spots. It is estimated that if the puppy is born fat and wrinkled, it should be called sand spot! So I suggest you don't buy dogs from them, because you don't know what kind of risks you are facing. Third, how to choose a healthy puppy? Dogs, like people, will show up in physical and behavioral characteristics if they are uncomfortable, mainly mental outlook, secretions from ears, mouth, nose and eyes, hair, excrement, walking posture, body temperature and foot pads. Mental outlook: The mental outlook of a dog is an important sign of its health. A healthy dog should be active and show curiosity and fear of new things. And the quality of spirit is also the first signal to you. I think everyone should know how to judge a puppy's mental outlook, which is the most external and intuitive, so I won't say much. Ears: The first thing you should do when choosing a puppy is to put it in a stable place, and then flick your fingers on its side or behind its head. If the puppy's reaction is to look at the sound source actively, it means that his hearing is normal and there is no obstacle. Then turn his ear out and observe the situation inside it. If there are peculiar smells or sticky attachments, redness, trauma, bleeding and other conditions prove that his inner ear is damaged or his ear has parasites, these are unhealthy manifestations; If not, the puppy's ears are completely healthy. Oral cavity: Oral cavity examination mainly focuses on secretions, teeth, gums and breathing. Healthy dogs have no strange secretions except saliva. If there is foam secretion, it means that there is something wrong with the dog's health. Healthy dogs should have white teeth. If there is tartar or damaged teeth, it can be considered that there is something wrong with the dog's health, although it is not a big problem. Gums, dogs' gums should be pink. If his gums are gray, it means that there is something wrong with the dog's health, which may be caused by internal bleeding, weakness, malnutrition or congenital anemia, or other diseases. Breath is no more a matter of principle than teeth, but most dogs with bad breath prove that there is something wrong with their diet. Nose: In a healthy state, the dog's nose is wet (the dog's nose is dry after waking up, and so is the healthy dog), and the color of the runny nose is transparent and clear. If it is yellow and sticky with cough, it means that the dog has some respiratory diseases, such as upper respiratory tract infection, cough, pneumonia, or early canine distemper. When choosing a dog, you can shake some food in front of its nose with your hands. If he chases your hand and shakes your hand, his sense of smell is fine. Eyes: The dog's eyes should be clear and clean, bloodshot, with white membrane on the eyeball, a lot of gum in the corner of the eye, and prominent flesh in the corner of the eye (indicating that there is something wrong with the lacrimal gland). These are all unhealthy symptoms. When choosing, you can put him in a higher place, shake his hand in front of his eyes and observe his reaction. If he shows fear and doesn't jump down and follow your shaking eyes, then his vision is normal. Fur: The main purpose of checking the dog's skin is to prevent it from having skin diseases and body surface parasites, and gently separate its fur by hand. If the skin color is light pink, it means that the skin is healthy. At this time, you can focus on observing the skin around the dog's mouth, under the neck, behind the ears, under the armpits and at the root of the thighs, because these places are prone to mites. If the skin is flaky or flaky and red, it means that his skin has been infected with mites or fungi. I suggest you not to choose, because this disease is very troublesome to treat. If you find a lot of small black particles in your hair and your skin color is abnormal, it may be that he has fleas. Many dogs have dandruff, which is a sign of lack of vitamins and long-term lack of sunshine, or the wrong bath liquid is used for bathing, not illness. Excrement: Dog excrement is also a standard of dog health. If the dog has loose bowels and loose stools, it means that there is something wrong with its digestive system, or the intestinal flora is destroyed, and the most serious thing is parvovirus. If you can't see his excrement, you can lift his tail and see if there is excrement around his anus. Generally, only the hair around his anus will stick to shit. Pace: Everyone has seen the pace of a normal dog. If the dog's pace is abnormal, it may be because it is too small and its muscles and bones are immature. After three months, the dog's gait has a problem, indicating that the bone is injured or has been injured. There are also some dogs with brain injuries that can also cause sequelae in action, so please be careful when choosing. Body temperature: 38-39 degrees is the normal range. Foot pads: The foot pads of adult dogs are plump and firm; The dog's foot pads are soft and tender. If some dog pads are cracked, it means malnutrition. If the puppy pads are hard, it may be an early manifestation of canine distemper. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . These are some considerations when choosing a dog. I hope I can help you. In addition to measuring the dog's health according to the above standards, the safest thing is to buy it from a regular dog, or go to the hospital for physical examination in time after buying it from the dog market. What kind of dog is good mainly depends on the owner's needs, and choose the most suitable one according to your own needs.
Finally, I wish you the right baby!
