Choosing The Right Pomeranian Breeder

Article Title: Choosing The Right Pomeranian Breeder
Author: Rosie A Allan

If you're looking for a small breed dog that will provide you
and your family with a long and happy companionship, the you
need look no farther than the Pomeranian. These dogs have gained
almost celebrity status themselves as they are toted down the
red carpet by various celebrities. The conditions in puppy mills
are nothing short of horrendous. The pups that come out of these
mills are most often sick and dying, and have relatively short
life spans when compared to dogs raised by a respectable
breeder.

A quality breeder would never sell a pup to a pet store,
preferring instead to be able to screen anyone who wants to take
one of their dogs home. You can help to do your part to put
these puppy mills out of business by refusing to purchase any
dogs from a pet store. Even if the pet storeowner tells you that
he or she only gets dogs from a well-respected breeder; know
that no such breeder would even consider it.

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.

Because there are many steps that a respectable Pomeranian
breeder must take in order to ensure that each litter he or she
produces is healthy, and that the prospective owners are going
to give the pups a good home, many people are becoming impatient
and purchasing their dogs from local pet stores who have been
supplied by puppy mills. These puppy mills produce pups en
masse, and often deliver dogs to the pet stores that are sick
and even dying.

Purchasing a Pomeranian from any place other than from a highly
respected Pomeranian breeder can be a dangerous move. Pet stores
are supplied by mass breeders who run centers known as puppy
mills. These mills have one purpose, which is to produce as many
dogs in a single sitting as possible. Little care is given to
the dogs in these mills, and the pups that are then delivered to
pet stores are often sick and dying from lack of proper care.

Most people do not realize the extensive screening process that
a respectable Pomeranian breeder will require possible owners to
go through. These breeders are concerned about the quality of
life their dogs will have in their new homes, and would never
dream of selling their puppies to a pet store where they have no
control over who can take one home. Only a dishonest Pomeranian
breeder would have such little concern for their puppies' well
being.

Don't be fooled by pet storeowners who do their best to tell
you that their puppies only come from an honest Pomeranian
breeder. These pet storeowners are highly trained in answering
that question, as the world's awareness of the atrocities of
puppy mills grows. But nevertheless, do not be fooled when a pet
storeowner tells you that he or she only buys from a local
breeder. You'll only set yourself up for heartache when your new
dog turns out to be potentially fatally ill.

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 everyone were to refuse to buy puppies from the pet
stores, the dishonest Pomeranian breeder would soon find himself
out of work.
