It may not be easy to decide which sex you want to adopt. One obvious drawback of bitchs is their reproductive cycle. A family may object to their heavy vaginal discharge. And surgical neutering or contraceptive do add to the cost of keeping a bitch.



HOW TO ENSURE FITNESS AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION

The main thing is to ensure that whatever breed or sex you are adopting your puppy is fit. The following tips are most likely to help you in this regard :

1. A healthy puppy is happy to be picked up
2. Its body should feel firm and relaxed.
3. See to it that the ear flaps and canals are dry and clean.
4. Then examine its tongue, gums and teeth. If they are pink, it is a sure sigh of health. The teeth even and sparkling.
5. Make it a point to see that the puppy you choose has clear and bright eyes. It should be able to keep its eyes wide open. It should not blink too often and paw at its eyes.
6. Run a swift hard through its coat. If black dust or sores are noticed, the puppy will feel uncomfortable. And that obviously is an indication of ill-health.
7. Don’t forget to examine the anal area. It should be free from liquid stools or stains.
8. It is always better to postpone your, buying the pup than be taken in by the breeders excuses.
9. If there is any doubt about whether the pet has been vaccinated, or not, get if vaccinated again to be doubly sure.
10. Follow a strict regime and schedule of vaccination against distemper, parvovirous, leptospirosis, hepatitis, rabies and kennel cough.
