Other breeders sell also online, but puppies from the present litter which pictures are posted on the site and the potential buyer chooses the puppy he wants.

When you see the puppies at the breeder’s facility, look for specific characteristics of the dogs of this breed. Look for a strong head with the specific dome shape. On their foreheads should be no droopy looking wrinkles and their ears should be floppy and with their bottoms rounded. The nose should be a black color and the eyes should be a dark brown color. They have fairly long tails that arch on their backs and their jaws should bite straight. These are important characteristics especially if the owner is planning on breeding the puppy in the future or on showing the dog. But in the case of the dogs that are used for hunting or as pets, the puppy’s temperament is more important than the physical aspect.

When visiting the breeder, look at the puppies when they interact with each other. Look for the active puppies and avoid the aggressive ones. Individuals also do not want to have a puppy that is hanging back from its brothers and sisters since that puppy is likely to be timid in nature and not as trainable. Timidity can also show a hidden physical or health problem. The appropriate puppy should be alert and playful, curious about what happens around it.
