Tips for choosing puppy
1.The number one rule is, don’t pick the shy puppy. No matter how sad they look, they create trouble. The shy puppy generally will not want to be with you, and has a chance of getting aggressive at around two years.
2.If a puppy stares at you straight and tracks you with his or her eyes, stay away from that puppy. It could mean that it is aggressive.
3.You must also check the health of the puppies. The first thing to look at is the coat. It should be glossy and the skin should smooth, but not dry. A pup ’s nose should be cold and wet. Make sure there is no drainage coming out of the puppy’s eyes. This could mean he or she has an eye infection
4.Now, after you have checked all of these things, you can pick up a puppy. When you pick up a puppy, put it on it’s back and on your lap. He or she will squirm at first, but then it should relax. See how the puppy interacts with you. If the puppy just walks away from you doesn’t seem interested in you, that puppy will not be a good family pet.
