Eeeeee! Puppies!
| *Sponsored Post* My mom is constantly saying she'd like to get a Yorkie puppy some day, after both of her current dogs have passed on. When the time comes, I intend to point her toward Salt Creek Kennel, a local breeding kennel with a pretty good pedigree. I'm always suspicious of any place that specializes in breeding puppies, but this kennel's web site doesn't raise any Evil Puppy Mill red flags. On the contrary, they're AKC certified, they have a local veterinarian inspect both their parent dogs and puppies on a regular basis, their puppies come with a one-year health warranty, and they post customer feedback on their site. What really impresses me is that they want to get to know their customers so that they can be sure their puppies are going to good homes, and to keep in touch to make sure they can answer any questions that might arise after the puppies get settled in their new homes. They specialize in small, AKC-certified breeds which can be a bit pricey, but with the health guarantees, paying extra for quality breeding might be worth it. I love Fizzgigg with all my heart, and wouldn't trade him for the world, but his health problems this year alone have cost us as much as buying one of these puppies would have. Some vet bills are going to be inevitable no matter what, but getting a dog whose history and parentage you're certain of could really cut down on veterinary costs over the dog's lifetime. Warning: clicking on those links could lead to squealing, intense desire to hold and cuddle puppies, and cuteness overload. We're not in the market for a new dog right now, but I've been thinking I'd like to eventually consider English bulldogs. These French bulldog puppies, however, have me leaning more in their direction. Eee! So cute! Labels: disclosure, pets, PPP |
