The decision to take a dog is a serious step. Regardless of whether you think about adoption or buying a racial pet, do not follow fashion or impulse . Think about how much time, space and funds you can realistically devote to the new household member.
Each breed has its own specific needs , but they all require regular walks, training and consistent upbringing. Hunting dogs and terriers must be able to discharge energy through movement and activity. Shepherds and shepherds are very intelligent, but they are easy to get bored - you must be ready for everyday, creative games. A hounds are very active dogs, they require long walks, as well as stimulation through training and play. Primary breeds , which are characterized by a strong character, can be independent and require great patience.
Before you make a decision, visit the exhibition of racial dogs, talk to breeders and owners of the races you are interested in . It is also worth visiting the local branch of the Kennel Association in Poland (ZKWP) - this is the surest source of information about breeds and proven farms. If you decide to buy a puppy, remember: dog exhibitions are not sales . The breeder should present you documentation - a metric with a ZKWP hologram, health book or passport, information on vaccinations and care, and often also offers a layette. Always sign a contract - this is a security for both sides.
Adoption of a dog from a shelter or foundation is a beautiful decision. For an animal, this is a chance for a home, and for a man to meet the best friend. Dogs from the hostel often attach to new carers very strongly . They feel that someone chose them and loved them despite their past, and their loyalty, tenderness and gratitude can be moving.
Dogs coming to adoption have difficult stories behind them - that's why they require special care, patience and understanding. After reviewing adoption ads and choosing a dog, please contact a given organization and make an appointment . It usually takes place at the place of residence of future carers, thanks to which the foundation employees can assess the conditions in which the animal will live. In many cases, foundations also offer support after adoption and help in the process of adaptation of a dog in a new home. Adoption is a commitment - but also a great joy when you see how the dog opens to man and regains confidence from day to day.
Regardless of whether you decide to buy or adopt - a conscious choice of a dog is the first step to many years in common, a happy life . Do not hurry - a well -thought -out decision pays off for the future.
