Bringing Home A House-Pet Signifies More Than Merely Taking It Home - It's A Huge Obligation! Are You Ready?

Are you're responsible house-pet owner? The millions of us that own house-pets believe that we can truthfully say yes to this question. However the majority of us don't support the compassionate society or the local animal shelter by adopting animals from the services. This is the responsible thing to do as a pet owner.

I am not suggesting that every house-pet owner needs to go adopt a pet from the shelter, but a fiscal donation is a fantastic way to insure that these programs can keep going. Also if you are a pet owner that breeds your pet, make certain that the people who adopt a house-pet from you're going to be responsible & will provide a good home to the animal. For instance, if it has a problem like excessive barking, what's the plan? Behavior and actions modification? An anti bark collar?

At times this may be hard. When our dog had puppies we had to deny one couple from purchasing one of the puppies. We have Labrador Retrievers. This is a good instance of a breed that could require an anti bark collar because of a barking training issue. They typically have very big litters. Our canine had twelve puppies that we needed to locate homes for. My husband is a hunter and our dogs are whistle & hand-trained, so there were many hunters that had asked for a pup prior to the litter arriving. However due to the fact that she had such a large litter we had two pups that were not spoken for. We ran an advertisement in a weekly sports-men's paper that we would take applications from people that wanted to adopt a housepet. We had developed a questionnaire that we used as an application. The question-form asks how many hours a day the animal would be by myself, how much time the owner had to exercise the animal & how often they normally take their animals to the vet.

Some people think that this is a bizarre form to write out, but we feel that we have an obligation to the breed to make sure that the individuals that are going to own the dogs are going to take good care of them. We check out every person that wants to adopt a house-pet from us. We want to make certain that the animal is getting medical care, like you would seek should training tools like an anti bark collar not be effective, good food & exercise. We also want to make certain that the animal is spayed or neutered if the owner isn't going to be accountable in researching the breeding lines. The retriever breed is quite common so it's important to keep healthful blood lines for those of us that want pure-breeds. Because of the number of retrievers that are available some breeders are trying to breed specialized lines in regards to color or skills, such as pointing. This can cause bloodlines that are too close which results in dogs that have high health care needs. Our system of asking questions to the individuals who wish to adopt a pet from us is not going to make a gigantic difference, but at least we feel we're not adding to the problem of weakening the breed.
