Dog Shows as Obedience Trials

Dog Shows as Obedience Trials

This is a good way to observe many dogs in the same breed and to note the differences within the breed. Buy a catalogue. Most of them list the names of the owners and breeders, along with their addresses. Make notes about which dogs you like and why. Breeders often are very busy and sometimes stressed at the shows. Talk to them if you can but if not, introduce yourself and get a phone number so you can set up a time to talk to them later. Be considerate and do not attempt to approach them when they are at the ringside getting ready to show.

A list of what the breeder should provide:

1.Written information
2. Pedigree
3.Registration documents (some breeders withhold registration certificates on pet puppies pending proof of spay/neuter)
4. A contract, which sets out clearly, the conditions of sale and ensures the puppies
well-being and safety
5.Information on puppy care, feeding instructions, vaccinations, worming and so on.
6. General advice. The breeder should give you good advice on grooming, training and general information on health and care. Besides, he should always be available if you want any information about your pet. Be sure to obtain a health guarantee from the breeder. This guarantee should give you some time, usually 72 hours, to take the pup to your vet. If your vet finds a serious problem that the pup had upon delivery from the breeder, you should be entitled to a full refund of your purchase price upon return of the pup. Make sure you receive this guarantee in writing. If you do not understand anything about the contract, do not sign it until you completely understand every stipulation.
