Now let's say that you have tried the newspaper method before when looking for a puppy in the past and it just did not pan out the way you would have liked, it may be time for something new. There is always the Internet that is bursting at the seems with ads upon ads of Pug puppies for sale and these ads come with a description, a picture and a price for the puppy. The great thing about this is you have the chance to bargain shop as you can compare the prices between breeders and you have a bigger selection of pups to pick from.
But, as with everything else that is worth talking about, there are plenty of negative's to go with the positives.

All About The Pug Breeder
For the past several weeks, or maybe even months, you have dreamed about the perfect puppy and what he or she would look like. You imagined all the fun you would have and you knew that they would be the most perfect and well-behaved animal that someone could ever own. You also know that by avoiding the dreadful Pug breeder that you would be getting a puppy that was for sure well taken care of. So you are thinking that the safest place to purchase a Pug is from a pet shop.
But maybe you want to rethink that line of thought because all animals sold in a pet shop come directly from breeders so that they can sell the animals to you. They are basically the middleman so you are still buying a Pug from a Pug breeder. This is not generally a problem but if you do not like Pug breeders because you hear about puppy mills and such, you are not doing yourself a favor by putting blinders on and purchasing from a pet shop.
Most people decide that they want to steer clear from a Pug breeder because of all of the drama they hear about at least once a week on the news. Most people have heard the terrible stories about the puppy mills and what happens within those places. So they simply want to make sure that their puppy does not come from a place like that because of the long term problems that can come with it and there is nothing wrong with that line of thought.
But, the problem is that people are not thinking deep enough to ponder just where exactly the puppies in the pet store come from. The fact of the matter is, that pet stores are not breeding their own animals and they are purchasing them from breeders. So, any Pug that you see in a pet store came from a Pug breeder without a single doubt. The difference is, you were not able to see exactly what type of breeder it was because not all are bad and not all are good.
So really, when it is time to start shopping for a Pug puppy, you really need to think about whom you want in charge of making sure your puppy comes from a stable environment. The pet stores are not going to care about what your personal preferences are and are not out for your best interest. Only you can make the decision as to who is and who is not a good Pug breeder. Not all Pug breeders are alike and they do need to be examined before making any big purchases. If you do not take that time, you could end up paying for it in the end.
So make sure that you gather as much Pug information as needed and head out looking for the best Pug breeder around. As long as you know what to look for and what to watch for in the behavior of the puppy around the breeder, you will be off to a great start. But then again, if you really would rather put the responsibility onto a stranger, then by all means you can pick up a Pug at your local pet shop that got the puppy from who knows where.
Pug breeders do not have to be feared because not every single breeder is in this business for the wrong reasons. Try to get as much Pug information from the Pug breeder as possible as this can be a true sign of how much they really know.

How To Find Pug Breeders
Pugs are definitely popular dogs and the best place to get a dog of any breed is from a breeder, but it is important that people realize that there are both good and bad breeders out there. There are good Pug breeders and then there are those which are known as mass breeders, and who basically breed as many dogs as they possibly can simply for the profit of it and who do not take proper care of the dogs.
It is important to understand how to recognize the differences between the two so that a person will know when they have found a good breeder. This is essential not only because it will help put a stop to these bad breeders’ careers but also because this way the person will be assured that they are getting the healthiest, happiest puppies possible. When dogs are mistreated as puppies they will often carry these problems into their adulthood, which will create problems for the owner.
When it comes to finding legitimate and reputable Pug breeders there are a few things that should be done here. One of the first and most important is to become aware of the different options. One way to get a list of all the available breeders is to contact the breed registry. The national breed club will send out a list of the different available breeders and this is a great place to start from.
Attending dog events and going to places where people with dogs gather such as dog parks and grooming shops will also be helpful because the good breeders are going to be active out in the dog world and can be found at these sorts of places. Joining Internet discussions for Pugs online is also a good idea and this can be a wonderful way to meet some really good breeders. Keep in mind that a responsible breeder’s main concern is going to be for the dog to go to a good home so be prepared for them to ask their own questions as well.
Although some people do not realize the extreme importance of finding legitimate and reputable Pug breeders to buy their dog from, it is essential and this will also ensure that the dog is as healthy and happy as possible. Remember that any good breeder will be able to provide a list of references of clients that they have worked with in the past and these will be people who are more than happy to share their experiences.
Good breeders will typically have just as many questions for the potential buyer as they will have for them, and so be wary of breeders whom are a little too easy to buy from. Good breeders want to ensure that their dogs are going to be heading to the best of homes where they will be properly taken care of and loved. Some questions they may ask the person is whether or not they have children and if so how old they are, what size of home and yard they have, and how many people live in the home.
Although it can definitely be trying, especially when a person is dying to get a dog, it is important to take the time to find the best Pug breeders possible. Finding out as much Pug information as possible is going to be extremely helpful when it comes to finding a good Pug breeder.
