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.
