Please read the following information patiently and carefully!  It's all about the detailed answers to your questions and some of my personal experience!  I hope that you more or less should have some help it!      。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。         

When choosing a dog to first look at the size of the home, pet dogs are divided into large, medium and small three kinds of dogs, large dogs as pets to raise the requirements of the higher, the need for owners to have a sufficient place and the economic basis, because large dogs need a lot of nutrients and exercise in order to be able to grow up healthy. Medium-sized dogs are more moderate, and so on, small dogs nutrition and land is not big, more types, like Pomeranian, Poodle, Peking, this kind of belongs to the small dogs, so you have to first look at your land and economic look!

Once again, the owner's characteristics also determine what dogs are suitable for the character of the quiet or the elderly children at home need a quiet environment suitable for quiet and docile dogs, such as Labrador, Golden Hair circuit, small Pekingese are more docile, if the character is cheerful, like to play, lively owners are suitable for the character of the cheerful barking bright dogs, such as Husky, Samoyed, Pomeranian, Poodle!

The role of the dog also determines whether it is suitable for the owner, the dog is divided into working dogs and ornamental dogs companion dogs, working dogs need to be specific dogs after special training to enter the work, these dogs have a specific division of labor, such as the German Shepherd is suitable for tracking and arrest, Golden Hair tour is suitable for searching for drugs, Labrador is suitable for guiding the blind, Husky is suitable for pulling a sled, the civilian dogs are mostly used as a watchdog, this kind of use is not too expensive Quemin and German pastor can be, if it is used as a playground for the owner, the dog can be used as a playground for the owner. If it is used as a plaything and companion, then most small dogs and huskies, pine lions and other lively medium-sized dogs can be.

Lastly, the purchase and taming of the dog, the dog's breed and pedigree affects the dog's appearance and price, the high purity of the dog's pedigree is more expensive than that of the impure or inferior pedigree, and the price of the dog's beautiful appearance is also a bit higher, the dog's character is also determined by the owner's taming, the good taming of the dog's taming, and the degree of obedience will be relatively high.  Before you buy a dog you should do a good job of preparation, that is to say, you should at least know what kind of dog you want to raise a dog, what breed of dog, so you can do to target, focus on understanding the appearance of this dog is what the characteristics of the body shape is how big, what kind of color, the approximate market price (the price of the Internet can only be used as a reference only), conditions allow it would be best to look at the Internet to see this kind of dog pups and adult dog photos, to do the psychological and psychological aspects of the dog. If possible, it is best to go online to see the photos of the dog puppies and adult dogs, so as to have a mental picture, in order to prevent being cheated in the dog market.  The market is the best place to choose from.

The choice of market is equally important, here I only focus on the formal kennel, large dog market, mobile vendors. Regular kennels: regular kennels are characterized by a fixed business address, the dog's source channels are mostly breeders at home and abroad famous kennel dogs into the puppies for their own breeding, breeding procedures and technical specialization, standardization. So the quality of the dog and the bloodline is also very good, but also for the above reasons so enough price is also higher. Generally will be 2 times the price of the dog on the market, individual racing dogs and popular dogs may reach 4 times to 5 times. But with the development of the pet industry now a lot of kennels also began to significantly reduce the price, after all, is now a market economy, any industry to follow the law of supply and demand. Large dog market: this type of market is actually a bit like monopolistic competition in economics, each seller's price is basically the same, and have some of their own characteristics of the breed, due to fierce competition so the price is relatively low. However, the source of the dogs in the market is not easy to determine, there are good and bad, and most of these sellers are private individuals, so it is difficult to say how their credibility, due to the fact that it is a large market, so the dogs are more concentrated, and the chances of disease transmission are also relatively large. That's why many of my friends will get sick at home after buying a dog from there. Mobile vendors: these people are like street vendors selling pirated CD-ROMs. If there are still some hardcover pirated copies in large dog markets, what they sell is definitely the pirated version of pirated copies and the water goods of water goods. It's like shaving a small clay dog and telling you that it's a sandpiper, and the point on the point is the spot, so I guess if this puppy is born fat and has folds on its body, it should be called a sandpiper! So I'm here to suggest that you don't buy a dog from them because you have no idea what kind of risk you're facing. Third, how to pick a healthy puppy. Dogs and people alike, if there are uncomfortable words will be in the body and behavioral characteristics of the performance, these aspects are: mental outlook, ears, mouth, nose, eye secretions, hair, feces, walking posture, body temperature, foot pads. Spirit: The spirit of a dog is an important indicator of its health, a healthy dog should be lively, active, and show curiosity about new things and also have a sense of fear. And the spirit of good or bad is also the first signal to bring you, I think we should know how to judge a puppy's spirit of good or bad, this is the most external intuitive, so I will not say more.  Ear: in picking a puppy is the first thing you have to do is to put it in a smooth place, and then with your hand on his side or the back of the head to snap your fingers, if the puppy's reflection is active with the direction of the source of the sound to see to look for, it shows that it's hearing is normal, there is no obstacle. Then turn his ears outward and observe the condition of the inside of the ears, if there is a strange odor or sticky attachments, redness, swelling, trauma, bleeding, etc. are proof of damage to his inner ear or ear parasites, these are unhealthy manifestations; if there is no, then it means that the puppy's ears are completely healthy. Mouth: The mouth is examined in terms of secretions, teeth, gums, and breath. A healthy dog's mouth will not have any unusual secretions other than saliva; if frothy secretions are found it indicates that the dog has health problems. A healthy dog's teeth should be white, if there is tartar or damage to the teeth it can be assumed that there is a problem with the dog's health, although this is not a major problem. Gums, a dog's gums should be pink if his gums are grayish-white it means that the dog's health is already in trouble, it could be internal bleeding or weak nutritional deficiencies or problems such as congenital anemia, or caused by other diseases. Breath is not a matter of principle, as are teeth, but a dog with bad breath is mostly evidence of a problem with his diet. Nose: the dog's nose is moist in a healthy state (the nose of a dog that has just woken up from a nap is dry, as is the nose of a healthy dog), and the color of the snot is clear and transparent, if it is yellow and thick and accompanied by a cough, it means that the dog is already suffering from some kind of respiratory disease, such as: upward sensation, nesting cough, pneumonia, or pre-distemper. When selecting a dog, you can pinch some food in your hand and shake it in front of his nose. If he chases your hand as you shake it, it means that his sense of smell is not a problem. Eyes: A dog's eyes should be clear and clean, bloodshot eyes, white membranes in the eyeballs, large amounts of eye droppings in the corners of the eyes, and protruding flesh in the corners of the eyes (indicating problems with the lacrimal glands) are all symptoms of an unhealthy condition. When selecting a dog, you can place him in a high place and shake your hand in front of his eyes to observe his reaction. If he shows fear and does not jump down and follows the shaking of your hand, it means that his eyesight is normal. Skin: Checking the dog's skin is mainly to prevent him from having skin diseases and surface parasites, gently separate his hair with your hand, if the color of the skin is light pink, it means that the skin is healthy, you can focus on looking at the skin around the dog's mouth, under the neck, behind the ears, under the armpits and the root of the thighs, because these places are very prone to mites, if the skin is in the form of lumps or flakes of red, it means that the skin is infected with mites or fungi, it is very important to check the dog's skin to see if the mites are infected. If the skin is lumpy or flaky red, it means his skin is infected with mites or fungus. It is recommended that you don't pick it up because it is very troublesome to treat this disease and it is easy to recur. If you find a lot of small black particles in the fur and the skin color is not normal, it is possible that he has fleas on his body. Many dogs have dandruff, which is a sign of vitamin deficiencies and prolonged absence of sunlight, or the wrong kind of bathing solution, not a disease. Feces: A dog's feces are also a criterion for a dog's health, if the dog has diarrhea and his stools are very thin it means that he has digestive problems or his intestinal flora has been damaged, or worst of all, the tiny virus. If you can't see his feces then you can lift his tail to see if there is any smeared poop around the anus, usually only dogs with diarrhea have poop sticking to the hair around the anus. Pace: Normal dog's pace everyone has seen, if the dog's pace is not normal may be because it is too small, the muscles and bones are still immature, after three months of the dog's pace problem means that the bones are injured or have been injured. There are also dogs with brain damage that can cause movement problems, so please be careful when selecting a dog. Body temperature: 38-39 degrees is the normal range. Foot pads: Adult dogs have fuller, stronger foot pads; puppies have softer, more tender foot pads. If the foot pads of some dogs are dry and cracked, it means malnutrition, and if the foot pads of puppies are very hard, it may be the pre-distemper manifestation.  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。  These are some of the things to look for when selecting a dog, hopefully they can give you some help. In addition to measuring whether a dog is healthy according to the above criteria, the safest thing to do is to go to a regular kennel to buy one, or go to the hospital in time to give the dog a medical checkup after purchasing it in the dog market. What is a good dog is mainly determined by the owner's needs, according to your needs to choose the most suitable.

Finally, I wish you the best of luck in choosing the right dog!
