Advice on buying a puppy


Thinking of getting a puppy? Make sure you know where your puppy comes from.

Buying a puppy is not as simple as you may think. Sadly, not all puppy breeders and sellers are reputable.

There is a dark side to the trade - puppy trafficking. This is where puppies are bred in large numbers for profit, often with little regard for animal welfare. Many puppies fall sick, and some die.

Plastic surgery if not unheard of in dog shows. Tail docking and ear clipping are still common procedures.
Dogs are even having face lifts to compete in dog shows.
