FAQs

How do I find the best puppy? ›

Loyal and loving, German Shepherds are usually thought to be good family pets who are gentle with children. However, as with all dog breeds, any time your German Shepherd spends with children should be supervised to make sure everyone is safe and happy.

Breeding puppies is a careful job—it involves health checks, genetic tests, and medical care. These steps are important, but they cost extra money. Good breeders spend a lot on the health and happiness of the parent dogs and their puppies. This is why their puppies can be pricey.

The adoption fee includes a range of treatments, including a physical exam, spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, a starter bag of food and more. At the Animal Humane Society, standard adoption fees for dogs and puppies range from $129 to $767, depending on breed, age, and size of the dog among other factors.

The price of a puppy or kitten

As with any business, pet stores mark up the price of the animal (once purchased from a breeder or broker) to make a profit on the sale. The price is not reflective of the health of the animal or the quality of breeder or breeding conditions.

In summation, because breeders are more likely to keep a female puppy vs a male puppy for themselves or to sell as a show dog to their fellow breeders, there will be less females than males available to sell to pet homes.

1. Tibetan Mastiff. The costliest dog ever sold on this planet was worth a whopping $1.5 million. And this was a 11-month-old, 180-pound Red Tibetan Mastiff named Big Splash.

Total first-year costs for a Tibetan mastiff puppy add up to $6,235 since they cost so much to purchase and grow so quickly. These dogs also have the highest average yearly adult costs at about $2,625.

How do I choose a good temperament puppy? ›

Although accurate temperament testing is not possible at a very young age, you can get a general assessment of your pup's personality. Does he seem interested in play? Does he sniff or nudge your hand when you hold it out and welcome your touch? Is he comfortable around people or does he cower when you approach?

Breathing: should be quiet and effortless with no snoring, coughing, grunting or wheezing. Skin: should be clean, dry, with no signs of soreness or folds that can become infected. Mouth: should be clean, with white teeth and pink healthy gums. Fur: should be shiny and soft with no sign of fleas.

You can't pick a dog online. You can look at litters in online ads posted by breeders, but you should never choose a puppy until you've seen it in person. Also, if you can't see the mother for any reason, you should leave - a good breeder will always have the mother available for viewing.

The biggest or fattest puppy in the litter can turn out to be the greediest one - he probably pushed the other puppies away to get the most food. The smallest one often can't fend for itself and consequently doesn't get enough food.
