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

I am not suggesting that every pet owner needs to go adopt a house-pet from the shelter, but a monetary donation is a great way to insure that these programs can keep going. Also if you're a pet owner that breeds your pet, make sure that the people that adopt a house-pet from you're going to be accountable & will provide a great home to the animal. For example, if it has a problem like too much barking, what's the plan? Behavior modification? An anti bark collar?

Every once in while this could be hard. When our dog had pups we had to deny one couple from buying one of the puppies. We have Labrador Retrievers. This is a good example of a breed that could require an anti bark collar due to a barking training issue. They normally have very big litters. Our dog had 12 puppies that we needed to find homes for. My husband is a hunter and our dogs are whistle & hand trained, so there were a lot of hunters that had asked for a puppy prior to the litter arriving. However because she had such a large litter we had two puppies that were not spoken for. We ran an advertisement in a weekly sportsmen's paper that we would take applications from individuals that wanted to adopt a housepet. We had developed a question-form that we used as an application. The questionnaire asks how many hours a day the animal would be by myself, how many hours the owner had to exercise the animal & how often they typically take their animals to the veterinarian.

Some people think that this is a peculiar form to fill out, but we feel that we have an obligation to the breed to make sure that the people 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 pet from us. We wish to make certain that the animal is getting health-care, like you'd seek should training tools like an anti bark collar not be effective, good food and exercise. We also want to make certain that the animal is neutered or spayed if the owner is not going to be accountable in investigating the breeding lines. The retriever breed is very common so it's important to keep healthy blood lines for those of us that want pure-breeds. Due to the number of retrievers that are available some breeders are attempting to breed specialized lines with regards to color or capabilities, such as pointing. This can cause bloodlines that are too close which results in dogs that have high medical needs. Our method of asking questions to the individuals that want to adopt a house-pet from us is not gonna make a massive difference, but at least we feel we're not adding to the problem of weakening the breed.
