A responsible dog breeder may seem like an over-anxious parent on their child's first day of school. They will demonstrate a strong bond with their dogs and puppies, and a desire to assist you and remain in contact with you as your puppy grows and thrives in your loving home. Don't settle for anything less than this. Buying your Argentine Dogo puppy is an important decision that will affect you and your family for many years to come. Make sure you do not acquire a puppy in haste from a disreputable source! Do your homework and spend the time finding just the right puppy from a responsible Canadian Argentine Dogo breeder.

Avoid Buying Your Argentine Dogo Puppy From:

A Pet Store.
A Newspaper Ad.
An online classifieds site.
The side of the road.
A parking lot.
A friend or neighbour, unless they are an experienced and responsible Argentine Dogo dog breeder.
Any breeder with whom you do not feel 100% comfortable; you will be in contact with this person for the life of your dog or puppy.

Canada, like the US and the UK, has more than it's share of puppy mills. If you do not know what a puppy mill is, then please click here to read about this inhumane industry where dogs are treated as livestock, and puppies as merchandise. In addition to supporting an industry that thrives on the cruel mistreatment of dogs and puppies, by buying a puppy from a pet store, newspaper ad or online classifieds site is setting yourself and your family up for a heap of heartache.

Puppy mill puppies are generally more expensive than puppies from a reputable breeder, and can have numerous health, temperament and behavioural problems as a result of the conditions in which they were conceived, born and raised. Usually this results in taking on a family member with health problems that will cause ongoing additional veterinary costs, behavioural problems that may pose a hazard to your family, friends and neighbours, and, at worst, you may fall in love with a sickly puppy that will eventually need to be humanely euthanized.

The Argentine Dogo dog breeders that are showcased on Dogs and Puppies Canada have undergone our own screening process, in an effort to ensure that we promote only highly reputable breeders, and keep puppy mills and backyard breeders from advertising with us. These breeders share our philosophy on what is a responsible breeder, and have agreed to abide by these guidelines for conduct.
