English Cocker Spaniel Puppies For Sale - Tips For Choosing a Breeder
When considering how to select a good English cocker spaniel puppy for sale, be sure to check out the prospective breeder's website. The good ones are typically identified by a name like "English Cocker Spaniel Breeders of America" or "English Cocker Spaniel Club of America." If the English Cocker Spaniel breeders are associated with an international club, then it is even more important to ensure that this is indeed true. There is no point in getting excited about finding a puppy unless it is going to stay with you! Don't forget to check on the breeder's reputation, as well.
If there are English cocker spaniel breeders within its home country, they will have a reputation to protect. They won't hesitate to share references and credentials with potential buyers. Ask around your local AKC chapter for recommendations. You should be able to find this information right there on the breeders' websites.
Once you've found a few English cocker spaniel puppies for sale that you are particularly interested in, it will be necessary to meet the breeder. It may sound a bit weird, but just remember that it is the breeder who is responsible for your new pet. If you get along well with him/her, it will be easier to sell your dog later on. Find out about the breeder's training methods and whether he or she has any references. Be sure to ask the breeder about his or her breeding policies.
Some questions that you should ask include: Have the parents been wormed or Neutered? Do the parents have any skin issues? (We'll talk about proper cocker spaniels care later on.) Are the parents desexed?
Now, on to the real meat of things... proper English cocker spaniels care. You must make sure that your new dog will grow up to be a good, obedient pet. You also need to find reputable breeders. You'll want to check the breeder's references as well. You'll also want to ask the breeder if they use organic food and if their breeding practices are honest.
A good English cocker spaniel breeder will never ask you about any of your personal details (health or otherwise), and they will never sell their puppies to you under false pretences. You can easily tell a fake from an original when you see fake scars on the little dogs and if they have poor skin issues. English cocker spaniels require regular vet check-ups and/or vaccinations, so it's important to choose a breeder who has a history of keeping their dogs healthy. Ask for paperwork and pictures of the dogs' histories to make sure you're getting the real thing.
