“We want a dog but we don’t know what to get!”
I’ve heard people say that so many times.
The choice is easier when the dog ‘speaks to us’.
*Sometimes it is breed that speaks to us.
*Sometimes we just want to replace beloved dog that has died - we want another Spot or Rover.
*Some people read books and check Internet sites to bone-up on various breeds.
*Sometimes we have no preference and head to the Lost Dogs Home and listen to what the people there tell us about the dogs they have. That’s how I have always chosen my dogs. I chose one because it said "good with cats!" We had two at the time. Thye've been great dogs.
Whatever method you choose I believe the dog does have to speak to you – a message passes between you.
The Pug breed spoke to Percy’s owner. She knew that was her breed and she seriously set about locating a Pug.
She began with the yellow pages
She rang breeder after breeder. All the puppies had been booked in advance and some Mums-to-be had their puppies booked for new homes before the pregnancy had been confirmed.
This new owner wanted a dog now.
Twenty phone calls and her dog was no nearer. In fact further away because the task was becoming disheartening.
Some people may have seen this as a sign that she wasn’t meant to have a Pug. But not this owner she kept searching. On the twenty fifth phone call she struck gold.
“Oh I’ve got just the dog,” said the cheerful voice at the other end
Percy was the dog. He had been returned to the breeder because his lovely owner was posted overseas and couldn’t take Percy. A meeting was arranged and Percy and his new owner fell in love and have been inseparable ever since.
PUGS are small, easy to groom and to look after. They are intelligent and alert and are interested in everything – look at Percy’s bright lively face. They love to be part of the family and need lots of affection. They are quite lazy so don’t need a lot of exercise.
A pug may be the dog for you.
