Puppies are
best given after
the holidays

By SADIE McCALLUM
Skeena Valley Kennel Club
THE PURCHASE of a puppy at anytime should
be thought out and investigated to make sure the
puppy and new owner suit each other.

If you are purchasing the pup as a gift for some-
one else, make sure it is wanted by that person.
Many puppies bought as Christmas presents by
Well intentioned people; end up a few months later
unwanted and in the local animal shelter.

Provided you’ve covered those two bases, you
should buy from a responsible breeder. The
breeder will probably inform you of the pitfalls of
introducing a puppy to a new house hold during
the busy holiday season. -

Going to a new home is a traumatic, stressful
situation for any new puppy. During the holidays
everyone is so busy and the Christmas tree, orna-
ments and all the presents can be dangerous if the
puppy decided to taste-test them.

And all the goodies at that time of year can be
very upsetting to a puppy’s tummy. Puppies thrive
on set routines and lots of rest. There’s not much
of that in most houscholds during the holidays.

A responsible breeder will offer to keep the
puppy Ull after the holiday season is over. One
thing they could do is supply a picture of the
Puppy wilh a big red bow and encourage the fam-
ily to buy the puppy accessories and have them
under the tree. Then, when they have time the
family could come visit the pup, if possible.

After the holidays when the pup goes to his new
home he will get all the undivided attention from
his new family and he’ll be safe.

If you’re going away for the holidays, we have
several members who will board your dog for
you. If you’d like some information we will be at
the Skeena Mall Dec, 21, from 9:30 to closing and
Dec. 23, from 9:30 to 6 pm for Xmas wrapping.

Or, call Sadie at 635-427, Loma at 635-3826
and Doc and Denise at 635-4084.
