If you don't want to buy your dog from a breeder you can always adopt, many people don't realize this but one in every four dogs brought to a shelter is a pure bred. The best way to go about finding a specific breed of rescue dog is to look for breed specific rescue groups. The purebred rescue groups are usually run by people who are passionate about the breed. These rescue groups keep adoptable animals until they can be placed in loving permanent homes. These animals come from failed breeding operations, arrive from boarding kennels and veterinarians where they were abandoned, are rescued off the streets or are obtained through a local animal shelter.
To locate a rescue that specializes in Shih Tzus you you can contact your local animal shelter, (they may be aware of a Shih Tzu rescue group operating near where you live), check the classifieds section of your news paper or search the internet. Once you have contacted the group be sure to find out as much about it as you can, you want to know how it cares for its animals, how it decides an animal is adoptable, as well as what other adoption and post-adoption services are available.

Do you have to get labrador puppy as a family dog whose perents are hips and elbow tested?
It is always a good idea to purchase a puppy from a reputable breeder and any good breeder will test their dogs for faults before breeding them. You wouldn't want to spend years training a puppy to be a good dog only to have to put it down because of a genetic fault.
Does the breeder have to give you the pedigree papers?
Yes, the breeder should supply you with the Dog's official Kennel Club pedigree papers upon purchasing the puppy. Be wary of forged documents that are often used by puppy farmers to sell fake ''pedigree'' puppies for more money. Make sure that the papers are genuine.

Can you change a puppy's name if you buy it on the internet?
You can change a puppy's name regardless of where you get him. However, if he is a purebred puppy his registered name cannot be changed once he is registered and only the puppy's breeder can do that.Very few dogs are addressed by their registered names which are long. They usually have every day names that might be related to their registered name or might not.now you keep saying the name that you want the puppy to have eventually the puppy will learn the name and will answer to it.
Where can you get a free yorkie?
well, it depends where you are, shih tzu's are quite expensive and are quite hard to train(my friends shih tzu is very hard to train and is very big for a small dog!) my friend got her shih tzu from a barn breeder and he was the last one in the litter and he was left as he was not a champain colour. Do you want a champain colour shih tzu or a brown or black one? If you want a champain coloured one i would guess you would not get one for free unless they really didnt want it, or it was an older dog found in the Friday add, as they are the most popular colour for shih tzu's. Brown or blach shih tzu's are a lot less popular(im saying generally) and you may get them last in the litter to be sold (depends where you are). As I said it is quite rare if you would get a puppy shih tzu for free, but you could maybe look into a rescue centre? It depends what age, colour, etc you want! Good Luck! xx you would have to get it from a generous friend or stranger or in a box saying free!good luck with that
Where can you find a good breeder for basset hounds?
If you want a pedigree Basset Hound from a respected breeder, you should contact the Kennel Club or look on their website to find Basset Hound breeders in your area. Never buy a puppy without seeing at least the mother and where the puppies were kept.
How much do west highland terrier range to in cash?
It depends if you want a show dog, or a regular dog. You can buy them from stores (Petco, PetSmart...) but that would be promoting puppy mills. If you buy them from a responsible breeder, it could range from 600 to 1500. I got mine for 800 from a good breeder.
How many dogs in puppy mills end up in shelters?
It is hard to say the exact number of dogs from puppy mills that end up in shelters, after all when you adopt a dog or a cat or any other animal for that matter you are making a life time commitment to care for this animal, therefore the type of person who will simply give up their dog when it is no longer convenient is not likely to be the kind of person who carefully looks into the ethics of the breeder they are buying their dog from. This means in many cases the owner wont have a clue is there breeder they got their dog from ran a puppy mill and if the owner doesn't know there is no way for the shelter can know. What I can tell you is that 20% of all dogs that end up in shelters a pure breeds.

Where are the best places to buy a dog in U K?
It depends on your lifestyle and what you prefer. if you would prefer an older dog, then a rescue centre, such as Dogs Trust, but if you want a puppy then breeders are better, however never buy a puppy from a bad breeder, because that gives them more money to create more unhappy puppies. a good breeder will give you paperwork, ask you questions about your home and should have a large, open, clean area for the puppies. never buy from a breeder advertising more than 3 different breeds of dog.
