When getting a puppy, many people envision the excitement of bringing home an adorable eight-week-old, but the reality can lead to "puppy blues," with sleepless nights, puppy bites, and ruined furniture.

Buying a puppy can be daunting, particularly when searching for the right fit for your home. It’s important to choose a breeder carefully to ensure they are ethical and trustworthy. Asking the right questions can help you make an informed decision, leading to a healthier, happier puppy and a better match for your family.
