Finding the right dog:
Before contacting any of the individuals listed in this Directory, we strongly urge you to do some preliminary work. First, evaluate your own circumstances and lifestyle. Visit your local library for a look at the AKC publication "The Complete Dog Book", which contains a brief description, the standard, and a photograph of every recognized breed. While there you should also look at some of the many books that have been written on the subject of how to find the right dog for you. A little research can easily save you from falling in love with a dog which is inappropriate or impractical for your situation. You may even find that owning a dog is not the answer to your companionship needs.

If there is a particular breeder whom you would like to visit, phone for an appointment. When visiting a breeder and in particular when viewing a litter of puppies have a list of the questions you want to ask. Make sure you get to see and interact with the puppies' mother as well as their father, if he is on the premises. Seeing the parents is an indication of what the puppies may be like, both in appearance and temperament, after they mature.Find out whether the breed(s) in which you are interested is prone to any particular hereditary problems and whether "screening" tests are available and have been performed to minimize the risk of purchasing a puppy with those problems. Puppies are infants. They should appear healthy and active. If you are at all concerned with the general condition of the puppy do not buy it.

Once you've made the decision to purchase a puppy, arrange for your veterinarian to examine it in the first days after bringing it home. The breeder should have given you the dog's inoculation record. Take it with you to your vet. Most diseases have a relatively short incubation period. Your pup will be exposed to new germs and diseases as soon as you get it home. Your vet can assure you of the health and general condition of your new pup.In addition to the inoculation record, the breeder should give you a copy of the puppy's pedigree listing the puppy's ancestors for at least the past three generations. You should also receive an A.K.C. Application for Registration. The breeder should have registered the litter. It will be up to you to name the dog and apply for its individual registration. Occasionally the breeder will have already registered the puppy individually, in which case you will receive the dog's certificate of registration, and should use the form on the back of it to apply for registration of change of ownership. Finally, make sure that you receive a written contract of sale from the breeder. It is important that all guarantees, promises, terms and conditions of the sale are spelled out in writing. If the breeder refuses to give you a written contract of sale don't buy the puppy.
