Not all Poodle breeders are alike. And getting a happy, healthy Poodle depends on what kind of place they were from and what bloodlines were used. If you have your heart set on getting a Poodle puppy, you need to contact a reputable Poodle breeder through visiting dog shows, the Poodle Club of America or the AKC. Never buy from pet stores or Internet sites that sell puppies.
What's wrong from buying from websites, even if they claim not to be puppy mills? Plenty! First off, they are puppy mills. These heartless salespeople act as the middlemen between the puppy mill and the puppy buyer. They are commonly called puppy brokers, and will often pretend to be Poodle breeders (or whatever breed they are hustling). If they claim to sell imported puppies, stay away. Two out of three Poodle puppies die during a trans-Atlantic trip. Buying from these fake Poodle breeders only perpetuated the misery of millions of dogs that are suffering needlessly.
The most common fake Poodle breeders are usually known as puppy brokers. They act as middlemen between the evil puppy mills and puppy buyers, often pretending to be the actual breeders. Since puppy mills have such a deservedly bad reputation, these puppy brokers claim that they act as middlemen for responsible breeders. Don’t believe a word of it. They often have websites where you can order puppies as if they were books. Some of these websites of fake puppy breeders do not check on the accuracy of any of the puppies they sell.
Caring, compassionate Poodle breeders will also have web sites, but they rarely have any Poodle puppies available for sale, as they usually only have one or two litters a year. Getting a puppy from a responsible puppy breeder takes time and patience. You will also be able to make an appointment to see members of your prospective Poodle puppy's family. You cannot do that with puppy broker web sites.
Also, there are pay ahead schemes involving pedigreed dogs like Poodle puppies. This is when someone online or on the phone claims to be a Poodle breeder and has puppies to give away if you'll pay for the transportation costs. There are no puppies, of course. Never buy a puppy sight unseen. Here's an even better Poodle information tip – there are Poodle breed rescues in most states and countries. Adopt an abandoned dog rather than risk getting scammed by fake Poodle breeders.
Adult Poodles are often male and often already trained. They usually have all their shots and are already neutered. They are usually abandoned because their previous owners bought the Poodle puppy on impulse, not realizing how much time and devotion is needed for basic Poodle care. Since Poodles are so popular, there might be Poodles at your local animal shelter. If there aren't, you shelter or Petfinder.com can help you find a Poodle breed rescue in your area.
OftentimesPoodle breeders act as temporary Poodle rescues. There would be fewer puppy mills if people knew basicPoodle information.
