Buying a dog for Christmas ?
I was asked recently to give an opinion on whether Christmas is a good or bad time to introduce a dog to the family.
It’s a question that raises it’s head about this time every year.
Rather than just give my own views on the matter, I asked followers of the pedigree dogs Facebook page to give their views on it.
We got a great response, and answers covered the full spectrum, from “never,never,never” to “I got my first dog as a Christmas present & it was the best one I ever received”
After reading all the comment’s I posted the following – “Would it be safe to say that a puppy to the right home at Christmas is far better than a puppy to the wrong home any other time of the year ?” which met with a general acceptance.
As the picture above proves, different dogs are suited to different lifestyles / households, so whatever time of the year you are introducing a new puppy or dog to your household, please make sure that you have carried out in depth research into the breed, and ascertained what the breed of dog requires by way of exercise,feeding,grooming and housing.
Kennel Club events like Discover Dogs being held this week end in Earls court London, are a great opportunity to see over 200 pedigree dog breeds on display, and a chance to see your chosen breed/s in the flesh, with all the coat and slobber that may go with ownership of this breed of dog.
So if you are in the London area this Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th November get yourself on down to Earls Court 1, London for Discover Dogs, sure you would be barking mad to miss it.
