Mastiff Puppies For Sale – Buying The Right Way!
You are ready to make an addition to your family and this addition will be a big one. It’s going to be a Mastiff, but let’s start small and work our way up. A puppy sounds good, but what’s the right way to buy one? You don’t want a sick puppy, and you don’t just want to go buy one from any “backyard breeder.” You want to make a careful selection, because the decision you make will have a lasting impact on your life and the life of your future Mastiff. I won’t go into too much detail in this article, but I will present you with some basic steps to take to find the best Mastiff puppies for sale.
1. Discover the market: Your local breeder’s market is a good place to start; convenient since you will be close to home. However, you are in the market for quality and want to find a breeder with quality in mind. So I encourage you to look in rural areas, outside of city limits, maybe hours away, maybe another province or state away. Go to the Internet and type the search term “mastiff breeders [your-city]”, look in your local paper, I’ll even suggest Kijiji and see what he comes up with. In my experience, the best advice you can give someone looking for any type of dog is to go to a show. At the Dog show you will find breeders and people who know the breeders.So if you are really looking for quality this can be a gold mine go to a show, see a mastiff, talk to the owner and get a breeder’s contact information.
2. Define a quality breeder: Now that you have various contact information on local, rural breeders, Internet searches, and dog show visits, it’s time to qualify offers. Telephone each contact to speak with the seller of the mastiff. Ask questions “How long have you been breeding?”, “Have your puppies been registered and vaccinated?”, These types of questions will engage you in a conversation and give you the opportunity to discover the type of attitude of this breeder. he has on his mastiffs. You are looking for a positive breeder who shows a true love for what he does and for the Mastiff breed; a true air of professionalism.
3. Make an appointment: After evaluating your potentials over the phone, you’ll know who sounds the most professional, and you should have a list of at least the top three. Give them a second call and make an appointment to visit them in person and see the mastiff operations.
4. Visit the breeder(s): When you visit the breeder, be sure to take note of the condition of the facility in which they keep their dogs. Is it clean, humane, do the dogs look happy or are they cowardly and stuffy? A good breeder will give you the feeling that the dogs are well cared for, and it will definitely show.
5. Arrange to buy: At this point, you should have a breeder that you are confident with and one that you know you can buy a healthy puppy from. Usually, a good breeder will not have puppies ready for immediate sale, so he will have to arrange to buy them in the next litter. If this is the case, be prepared to wait through the gestation period plus the pup-rearing period, which can last another 8-10 weeks. You made it this far and good things come to those who wait, so take this time to prepare your home for the new addition to your family; Congratulations.
