PET STORE PUPPIES
It is our deepest wish, that you will
purchase a
Japanese Chin, from a reputable
breeder.
Puppy Mill
puppies, end up in pet stores. Raised under the horrible conditions
of a puppy mill, these dogs are not well socialized. They are
raised in a cage with little human contact. They are often taken
from their mother and litter mates before they weaned or even get
their milk teeth. As early as 4 weeks !!! Don't believe for a minute
that you will be "saving" that poor puppy. It only makes puppy
millers breed MORE. In addition, you will most often not end up with a dog that
displays the normal traits of a Japanese Chin. What you save in
purchasing the puppy (if you do) you will spend at the vet's office,
and working with a trainer trying to rehabilitate the dog who was not
allowed to imprint with his family.
Back Yard Breeders, breed to make money. Like a puppy mill, they will breed
a dog that has a bad temperament, known health problems, genetic
defects, passing all down to the next generation. They only do it on
a smaller scale. Just because a puppy is "home raised", does not
mean you are getting a quality dog.
Responsible Breeders, take breeding very seriously. They realize they are
bringing puppies into this world that would not otherwise have been
born. They are responsible for the quality of their life from their
birth to their death. Each puppy placement is done with the utmost care and
research to provide very best possible home. They will be there to
answer your questions for the lifetime of the dog. They will not
allow a puppy to leave it's 'family', until he is at least 12 weeks
old. They evaluate breedings, and try to improve the breed -- breeding
out genetic defects, bad temperaments and health problems.
Please....make sure to buy your puppy from
a responsible breeder. You will save yourself endless hours of
frustration and heartaches. The Japanese Chin Club Of
America can provide you with a list of
responsible breeders. So can we. If you would like us to refer you
to a breeder, just drop us an e-mail.
