How To Buy a Good Dog
So you want to buy a dog!
And you want him to be happy, healthy, playful, dependable -- the perfect companion to share your life for the next decade or two.
You want a GOOD DOG.
And you're ready to start searching for one.
Your anticipation -- your eagerness -- makes me smile. Because I know how excited I've gotten whenever I started searching for a new dog for my own family. It's an adventure!
Here's the kind of GOOD DOG you want, am I right?
A GOOD DOG who looks right at you when you speak to him, listens to your words, and obeys gladly.
A GOOD DOG who coexists peacefully with other pets and people and behaves in public. He comes when called, walks calmly on a leash, and is completely housebroken.
A GOOD DOG who stands patiently while you groom him and do whatever you must do with him.
A GOOD DOG who alerts you when a stranger approaches, but stops barking on command, and accepts your guests graciously.
A GOOD DOG who enjoys your company, is happy to play with you, and equally happy to rest near you during quiet times.
A GOOD DOG who is admired by your friends, who wish they had a dog as good as yours!
Unfortunately, finding a GOOD DOG is not as easy as you might think!
You would think that finding a Good Dog should be an easy thing to do, wouldn't you? Just flip open a dog book, choose an attractive-looking breed, open a newspaper to the classified section, make a few phone calls, drive over to see the pups, and pick the friendliest one who jumps into your lap.
Voila! Your new dog.
EXCEPT...
Here's what can go wrong after bringing home what you THINK is a Good Dog...
You discover that the breed doesn't match you and your family.
- He sheds too much.
- He bounces off the walls because he needs more exercise than you can provide.
- He needs too much brushing or trimming.
- He's not good with your kids.
- He's not good with your other pets.
- He's too hard to housebreak and too stubborn to train.
- He's the wrong breed for you.
Before you get a dog, you need to CAREFULLY figure out the best breed for you.
You discover that your seemingly healthy puppy actually had HIDDEN health problems.
Many health problems only show up after you bring your puppy home -- he may develop a serious health condition that requires surgery costing two thousand dollars, or he may develop a genetic heath problem that can't be fixed. It's not enough today to pick out a seemingly healthy puppy. Seemingly healthy puppies can turn into unhealthy nightmares that cost you a fortune and end in heartbreak.
Before you get a dog, you need to know which health problems are most common in your breed, which health tests a good breeder must do to make sure his puppies don't develop those health problems, and how to find those good breeders.
You discover that your seemingly good-tempered puppy actually had HIDDEN temperament problems.
Puppies change as they grow, and not always for the better. We've all seen aggressive, shy, or hyperactive adult dogs we wouldn't want in our home! Most of them started out as cute puppies, but hidden beneath that cute surface were inherited temperament problems that take months to show up.
Before you bring home a dog, you need to know how to evaluate his temperament and predict what kind of pet he is likely to grow into.
So....to REALLY find a Good Dog, you need to do THREE STEPS...
- Decide WHAT KIND OF DOG is best for you and your family.
- Decide WHERE TO GET your dog.
- Choose THE RIGHT INDIVIDUAL puppy or adult dog.
You need to do all three steps RIGHT, or you might end up with a mismatched, unhealthy, bad-tempered dog.
I've written a book that shows you how to do all three steps right.
Step #1: How To Buy a Good Dog . . .
Helps you sort out what kind of dog to get -- the pros and cons of purebred dogs, crossbreed (designer) dogs, and mixed breed dogs.
Helps you choose the right breed based on 17 key characteristics
Compares male and female dogs so you can make an informed decision on which gender would be best for you.
Explains the pros and cons of young puppies, older puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs..
Hint: Often a young puppy is NOT your best choice. Adolescent and adult dogs have many advantages!
Step #2: How To Buy a Good Dog . . .
Reviews all the main sources of dogs -- shelters and humane societies, rescue groups, show breeders, performance breeders, pet breeders, pet shops, and owners giving their dogs away.
Explains what makes a source good, and what makes a source risky, so you'll quickly be able to tell good sources from bad ones.
Hint: You can't tell whether a particular source is likely to have good dogs simply by looking at their puppies.
Tells you the exact questions you should ask each potential source, what answers you should expect -- and most importantly, which answers are "red flags" that mean you should stay away.
Step #3: How To Buy a Good Dog . . .
Shows you how to evaluate the temperament of puppies and adult dogs.
- Which personality tests you should do that can tell you whether a dog is likely to make a good pet
- Which easily-observed behaviors suggest future behavior problems such as hyperactivity, stubbornness, shyness, and aggression
Teaches you what you need to know about health clearance tests for different breeds (What's mandatory in one breed is unnecessary in another.) and how to read the test results
Caution:Many breeders are ignorant (or lie) about health tests. Some breeders will even try to pass off a worthless "veterinary health certificate" as though it's the same as a health clearance test -- it isn't. I'll show you what the real clearance certificates look like and how to read them, so you won't be fooled.
Did you know that a puppy's pedigree can reveal a great deal about his future health? How To Buy a Good Dog shows you how to evaluate a pedigree for this important information.

I charge so little for my books because I know they will make your dog's life better. I would much rather have many owners read them for a lower price than have fewer owners read them for a higher price. MY compensation would be the same either way -- but at the lower price, more owners and dogs benefit.
Another reason I can offer all this for such a low price? Because...
These books are eBooks
An eBook is a digital book. You read it on your computer screen using a software program called Adobe Reader. Almost all computers come with Adobe Reader already installed.
Why eBooks are better than printed books
There are two ways to get my eBooks on your screen:
- Download the eBooks. You can download the eBooks instantly from MY computer to YOUR computer.
- Downloading is the easiest thing in the world -- I will walk you through it in just a few simple steps.
- Downloading means instant gratification. It takes only a few minutes for an eBook to appear on your screen and then you can start reading it immediately.
- Once the eBooks are downloaded to your computer, you can read them whenever you want. You don't have to sign onto the Internet or come to my web site to read them -- they're right there on your own computer.
- OR . . . have the eBook mailed to you on CD. If you prefer, I can put the eBooks on a computer CD and mail it to you.
The CD has the exact same eBooks you would get
if you downloaded them. You read them on your computer
with Adobe Reader. (A CD costs $5 more.)

Why I'm so sure I can help you

My advice on raising and training dogs has been featured in newspaper columns and on television.
And I've written every word of this 1250+ page web site.

See some of my obedience competition ribbons
You've seen that my writing is easy to read.
Read through my web site and you'll see that my writing is conversational, straightforward, and easy to read. And sometimes (I hope...) humorous!
I like to write as though I'm sitting across the table talking to you -- one on one.
Since I'm unable to do that with each one of you, writing to you is the next best thing. When I write, I talk directly TO you.
I'm pleased that people ENJOY reading my writing!
