How to find free puppies

by Amanda Somrekli

Your puppy should have its own personal space. The crate, also known as a cage, kennel or den, must be big enough for the puppy to easily stand up and turn around in. I hate the word cage as it makes it sound like a punishment cell and that is most definitely not its purpose. A puppy should be able to go to its crate whenever it wants during the day.

The best way to find a puppy good with kids is to adopt one from an rescue center. And there you can ask them what kind of temperament the puppy has. Many shelters test puppies to see how they react to a child environment. Puppies from shelters normally live with volunteers who train them to get used the experiences they'll find in their permanent home. Ask for a pet that has lived with children.

When at the shelter, test for yourself how the small dog reacts to a gentle touch to his ears. Touch the paws and try putting your finger in his mouth to see what he does. On the floor, try running around and make some noise. Watch the reaction. You are looking for a puppy that accepts the same behavior you will have around your house.

As the world now longs for toy breeds, believe it or not, these aren't the best with children. The are more self-preserving and can get hurt much easier than a large breed. Dogs that were bred to herd, like border collies, can chase children and bite them.

If your heart is set on a purebred dog, my advice is to look at the mother and father of the puppy you're interest in. Their temperament will tell all. If they are sweet, the puppy will be as well. It would surprise you to find many dogs considered good with kids are mean spirited because of the parents.

Puppies should be given at least an hour between crating periods when they can play and explore and romp. This helps to burn off their seemingly unlimited puppy energy and helps them understand that crating will only be temporary.

Paper training is a method whereby you direct your puppy to use the same spot that you have layered with newspaper. When using this method you would want to ensure that you have papered a large area to begin with.

They are probably unsuitable pets for people who cannot or will not provide a considerable amount of daily exercise, both physical and mental. They are also inappropriate in households that are not prepared for the characteristic behaviors part of the Border Collie's working heritage that include:

Attempting to control the movements of family members, cats, squirrels, bicycles, cars, or anything else that moves ringing home a new puppy. Unfortunately, many people dont organize themselves or their home for the new arrival.

Border Collies are unsuitable for households with small children. They may end up trying to herd the children or react quickly to unexpected movements. - 20511
