What are things I should look for in a breeder when I buy a puppy? How do I know the breeder I buy a puppy from is good and reputable?

Our 8 month old male dog mated with a female in heat. I was aware that they might be curious but did not realize that they might acutally perform. He was neutered at 5 months. Can
someone enlighted me a bit more please?

He was sold to me as an American Cocker. Now that he's 6 months old he looks nothing like an American Cocker. He has a longer and narrower nose and his tail is about 1 inch long. I looked on the internet and he is exactly like an English Cocker....How is this possible??

That when you adopt a dog from the shelter you never know its temperament or if it has aggression or behavioral problems or was abused etc
Does it not occur to you that you get to spend time with the dog in a room with a worker there before adopting to see if it has any such problems? They check the dogs for heartworms and dont adopt out dogs with diseases!

Do some research and you will find out that the majority of dogs are surrendered because the owner cant or doesnt want to take care of it any more, not that the dog is mean or abused!
You can get perfectly healthy good tempered dogs and puppies of ALL ages and breeds (mixed AND purebred) at the shelter.

WHY do so many people think that you know what you are getting when you buy from a puppy store?

Guess what you dont know **** about that puppy. What the parents are like, health problems, etc. The puppy is so young that problems arent going to be apparant yet.

Again, WHY do you think buying from the petstore means no problems?

He dreamily stares at my son and purrs loudly when ever he walks into the room. He will follow him and meow, demanding attention and even trys to "kiss" him. No one else in the family gets this kind of attention from the cat. I am just curious as to why the cat acts this way around my son and no one else.

Hey I was thinking about getting 2 cumberland turtles, and it was all going well until I read somewhere that they grow to the size of a dinner plate, and that the tank you need is so big that it cant go upstairs. I was just wondering, is this true? And also can you give me anymore info on them please? Thanks xx
