Tri-Colored Puggle? - Page 5 - DogForum.net

munlitsky · 08-01-2006, 07:22 PM

oh god no! I REFUSE to let a puppy be shipped by air, I'm driving to pick up my puppy it's just a state south of mine, approx. 5 hours away. I am picking it up the same day we drive down to rent a U Haul and move my roommates furniture up here. The city is only an hour away from where we all have to drive anyway, might as well do both things the same day. I am driving down but probably going to try to get someone else to drive my car back up so I can play with the puppy on the way! Haha. I am very excited!

That could be a problem... I mean, Shippo was flown from Canada, but it was spring time, and it wasn't scalding hot or ice cold outside. And he didn't JUST come with a health certificate...

Does this breeder check the parents' hips, eyes, and ears? >o.o< I've got Shippos' parents' OFA and CERF scores here, and I'm also able to look them up on the official website. I figure that would be a very important thing. I wouldn't want my dog to grow up and go completely crippled on me.

Well don't be surprised if puppy is not up to playing. When I picked up Zircon from the shelter and drove him the 45 minutes to my office, he puked twice. Car rides may be new to them.

I've heard of puggles- never seen one in real life. I don't really have an opinion on cross breeds.

I do however have good advice on what to look for in a breeder, and this is just what I have always been told: at the least look for your dog's parents to be OFA and CERF certified.

Often, an internet health guarentee will not hold up in court.

Also, a good breeder will ask you lots of questions to make sure your home is suitable for their puppys- some even want to see where you live for themselves. I know mine did. I didn't mind, though. I knew she was just doing what was best for Orchid.

I know some of this stuff may sound preachy, but its best to listen to just for your protection.

Good luck on your puppy. I am looking forward to pictures, as I have never seen a puggle.

Just wondered how anybody can quarantee a health certificate to Two pedigree breeds crossed !

munlitsky · 08-03-2006, 05:08 PM

heh, i dont know either. maybe if both parents are very healthy and the dog has been taken to the vet and has been vet checked. then cleared as healthy...i really have no idea.

<normal colored puggle>

Usually puggles are just like the bottom picture. occasionally they can be black. the only tri-colored one i've run into is mine

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that lassie was getting at when you breed two comletely different breeds, you never know what characteristics may come out in a dog. You may have a purebred that's completely healthy but when you mix it with another breed, characteristics, traits, etc may come out in the puppy that were never a factor in the parent because w/ genetics, you never know how two different genes are going to react.

good example - if you put oxygen and oxygen together, you're going to have oxygen, but if you put hydrogen and oxygen together you get water. Something that alone, neither of the elements showed any characteristics of but when put togethe you have something that never played a factor before. make sense?

oh lol yea i know that i was just kidding.
