Dogs For Sale NSW
According to a report released by the Australian Veterinary Association, Australia continues to top the list as one of the countries that have the highest pet ownership rates in the world. About 69% of Australian households have at least one pet, most of which is a dog. It is, therefore, no surprise that New South Wales (NSW), a state located in the southeastern part of the island continent, is also a wonderful place to care for a canine.
What makes NSW an enticing place to raise a dog is that it has plenty of pet-friendly destinations, such as parks, beaches, and hotels, where animals of any shape and size can freely romp. Additionally, the state’s Supreme Court Appeal Division has recently reversed its previous decision to impose a ban on animals in strata. Today, dogs and other animals are finally allowed back in apartment complexes but with a couple of exceptions to ensure their welfare and that of the residents.
If you live in an apartment (or even a house!) and have always been longing for a furry companion, there is no better time than now to consider bringing one home.

Common Questions to Ask your Dog Breeder
Chances are, you won’t have a hard time finding a breeder out there because they are everywhere. What won’t be easy is finding one that will be able to answer most of the questions you may have about your breed of choice. This is because only a responsible breeder is knowledgeable enough to provide you with the information you need to allow you to raise your dog properly.
Just like you, verified breeders also care for the welfare of their dogs. The last thing they want is to sell their canine to a buyer who may end up rehoming their pet or returning it for no significant reason. To ensure you are adopting from an ethical breeder, do not hesitate to ask them the following questions:
Asking your breeder to meet the parents is recommended if possible. While it may sometimes not be possible to meet the parents if they are not around, you should ask to if given the chance.
When meeting the parents, interact with them for a few minutes so that you can assess their overall temperament. If they are aggressive, fearful, or showing negative characteristics, walk away and find another breeder.
If the entire litter is around, ask your breeder to meet it as well. This way, you can assess each puppy’s appearance, size, health, energy level, and character. Each one should be comfortable around you even when you touch it.
Finally, take a look at the property where your puppy is being raised. Make sure it is clean and relatively odour-free. Both parents and the dog should be well-groomed and cared for.
Proper socialisation at an early age is critical in puppies. It is suggested that you question your breeder if their canine has been exposed to other people and dogs. Find out how it reacts to new and different sights, sounds, surfaces, and smells.
Housetraining usually begins with the breeder. Before they sell a puppy, they should have at least begun to teach it simple commands. Most responsible breeders have plenty of experience when it comes to training dogs. They also often have useful tips to share with their buyers.
Even pedigree dogs have health conditions that can be passed down to their offspring. This is why you must request your breeder for information about your desired puppy’s breed line. This way, you will have an idea of how long your dog will likely live.
Additionally, check for both the parents’ recent health certificates so that you know if they have had illnesses or treatments of late. By doing so, you will have an idea of what preventative measures to take in the future.

It is the seller’s responsibility to have their dogs receive their first round of shots between six to eight weeks of age. The second vaccination series, which is usually administered between 10 to 12 weeks of age, can be passed down to you.
Keep in mind, however, that you need to know what vaccinations your chosen puppy has already had. Find out when it is due for its next round of shots. Finally, ask your breeder if the canine has been examined and declared healthy by a licensed veterinarian.
An ethical breeder should provide you with a health guarantee. This way, you will be up-to-date with your chosen puppy’s medical records, certifications, and breed club or pedigree information (if applicable).
