The Pomeranian Breeder And The Pet Store

There has been a growing demand for the Pomeranian breed in recent years, what with so many celebrities in Hollywood sporting their little bundles of fluff wherever they go. The Pomeranian is certainly one of the most elegant small breed dogs, but many people are not aware of their affectionate nature. A growing awareness of the desirability of the Pomeranian as a family pet has left many a respectable Pomeranian breeder in the dark as to how best to keep up with the onslaught of orders.

With more and more people realizing what a wonderful family pet the Pomeranian is, it is difficult for an honest Pomeranian breeder to keep up with the demand for these sweet little dogs. A respectable Pomeranian breeder has a great many responsibilities when it comes to properly producing a litter of pups, not to mention the rigorous screening process to choose the right owner for each dog. Unfortunately, most people don't understand this process, and are so anxious to get their hands on one of these dogs that they simply run off to their local pet store to purchase the dog of their dreams.

The first thing that anyone who wants one of these sweet little dogs must understand is that a respectable Pomeranian breeder would never sell his or her pups to a pet store. Since a pet store is obligated to sell their animals to anyone with the money to buy, there is never a guarantee that the dogs will be going to a good home.

When you purchase your puppies from pet stores, you are helping the dishonest Pomeranian breeder to stay in business. It is most important that you realize a respectable breeder would never dream of selling even a single pup to a pet store where they have no control over where their dogs are placed.

Quality Pomeranian breeders are most concerned with the health and quality of life their pups have, and often will refuse to sell a potential buyer a dog if they don't feel they can provide the best home.

Many pet storeowners will try to tell you that their dogs come from a quality, local breeder. Don't be taken in by their heartfelt speech. An honest Pomeranian breeder would never consider selling a dog to a place where he or she would have no control over who was going to be the new owner. Pet store employees have been taught to tell people that their dogs come from a well-respected breeder; unfortunately, this just isn't the truth.

A Pomeranian is a wonderful dog that can provide you and your family with a long and happy relationship. When you make certain to only get your new dog from a well respected Pomeranian breeder, you do you part to help make sure your new dog will be healthy; but also to help stop the puppy mills from making any money.

If you help do your part by refusing to buy a dog from a pet store, soon we may see an end to the atrocities that call themselves puppy mills.
