Most of us will crack our head to select a perfect puppy for our home. These pup selection points will definitely satisfy the needs of a new owner to accept the new family member.

  • The eyes should be clear and bright, and free from any discharge. There should be good pigmentation, and no sign of inflammation or irritation.
  • The ears should always be pink inside with neither an unpleasant odor nor any sign of crusty or waxy discharge, which is suggestive of ear mites.
  • The skin should not be oily or flaky, and it should not have any sores or lumps. The hair should be firm and not come out when it is stroked.
  • The gums should be pink and odor-free.
  • The anal region should be clean and dry. There should be no sign of diarrhea or other discharge from the genitals.
  • When it is picked up, the Pup should feel firm and heavier than you expect. If the puppy is relaxed while being lifted, this is an indication of the development of easygoing character in your pup when it becomes adult.

Considering the needs of your puppy and planning ahead will surely make the change from his former home to his new one easier.Punishment or scolding will elicit no result at all than praise and encouragement.

Bringing a pup that is not housebroken requires not only your valuable time but also requires your attention till he develops proper toilet habits.
