Mixed, Purebred or Rescue Dog?

Kennel inspected by MN board of Animal Health

  

We are inspected by the STATE of MINNESOTA Regulated by Dakota County

***26 standards 

are required to be certified as a MINNESOTA dog breeder.

 

Dog Shelters and Dog Rescues

are NOT regulated!

Which kind of puppy?

  

Which puppy breed is best?

  • PURE-BRED
  • Bichon
  • Shih Tzu
  • MIXED
  • Teddy Bear
  • Bichon mix or cross
  • Shih Tzu mix or cross

or

  • RESCUE DOG 


When selecting the dog breed that is most compatible for your lifestyle and your situation there are many factors to consider.

What Kind of Temperament are you looking for?

  

  • Good with children not snapping at teasing children.
  • Friendly towards strangers and outside family members
  • Does not provoke bigger dogs.
  • Bark if unchecked.
  • Affectionate
  • Obedient or strong willed

Dog Qualities Desired or Unwanted traits

  

Qualities desired or unwanted:

• Non-shed

• Need to exercise or do not need exercise

• Need to have jobs…herd, guard or hunt

• Grooming

• Likes cold (winter)

 

Health: Line breeding

(Breeding to a certain dog to keep the bloodline going) 

Example: 

Elhew - champion English Pointer. The breeder would state 3rd generation from Elhew's bloodline or that Elhew was this puppy Great Grandfather. 

 

Hopefully Elhew doesn't have any faults (bad traits) to pass on. 

 

Rescue dogs can carry diseases and or parasites that dogs in our Minnesota state do NOT have immunity against.

(To be able to resist infection, antibodies) 


Inbreeding increases health risks. 

It's why we are not supposed to marry our cousins. 

 

Inbreeding (breeding related dogs)

Example: mother is bred with the son. 


Mixed breeding or avoiding breeding to closely related parents helps avoids health issues. 


None of my breeding males are related to any of my breeding females.

 

This is ONE of the reasons I do NOT have countless health issues. 

Known Puppy Registeration or Unknown background

  

If you decide to purchase a mixed breed it is best that both parents are purebred and registered. 

 
Registration helps keeps breeders honest about what they are truly breeding. 

Ask to see the parents' registration paperwork. 


The dog breeder should have the registration numbers on the puppy's paperwork. 


I usually use a registered purebred shih tzu and registered purebred bichon to produce shih tzu bichon mix, teddy Bears. 


I can show a paper trail when a teddy bear is crossed with a bichon or shih Tzu or teddy bear. 


EXAMPLES: Shihpoo (shih tzu - poodle)

Father purebred Poodle and Mother purebred Shih Tzu with papers proving it true. 


Ask to see the documents.


This ensures that the parents were not chosen because they kind of look like a Shih Tzu and Poodle…so, we’ll call the puppies shihpoos.

 

The puppies maybe Lhaso Apso Poodle (small dog breeds) which can be fine but maybe not good with children & strangers. 


A Lhaso Apso was bred to be a guard dog where the Shih Tzu was bred to be the inside palace pet. 


Looks similar but the temperaments are different. 

 

Rescue dogs most of the time do not have paperwork, the vet will need to give his best guess of what the dog is and how old it is. 

 

The fact is that the rescue dog breed type is usually unknown and cannot be proven.

 

Breeds are bred for the traits; they are either bred into the breed or out of the breed. 


One or both rescue dog parents may have sneaky neighbor dog (usually unknown father) may have breeding in its background with characteristics you would prefer to avoid. 

 

If one of the parents have shedding qualities, your puppy may shed. Even if one parent has non-shed qualities and most of the past litters have been non-shed your puppy may shed.


Do you want to gamble? 


There is NO guarantee that the puppy will NOT have some quality you DON'T want to live with!

 

If one of the parents has shedding, not good with children or other qualities you don't care for...your puppy may have the unwanted quality. 


I don't care to have a dog in my possession that may bite my family or cause problems in other areas that are important to me.

 

Examples: 

Yorkie (Yorkshire terrier) 

Maltese (terrier)

Chihuahua mix may not like children or anyone else but the owner. 

 

Terriers are happier with one pet owners, and where they can claim everything as theirs. 


Cocker Spaniel mix may not tolerate teasing. (will bite to protect themselves) and prefers to hunt. 


Jack Russel mix (jackapoo) May shed and may not tolerate teasing. (will bite to protect themselves), are aggressive towards other pets and are very active dogs who need a lot of exercise. 


Lhasa Apso mix may not like children or tolerate teasing and prefers to guard you from strangers. 


Cavalier mix with non-shed breed may shed is a working breed that prefers to hunt your neighborhood squirrels, birds or other fun creatures. 


Beagle mix with non-shed breed may shed and is a working breed that prefers to hunt your neighborhood squirrels, birds or other fun creatures. Beagles have voices and will use it. 


Bichon, Shih Tzu - mixed or purebred non shed, a lap dog breed that prefers to keep track of you rather than hunt squirrels, birds or other creatures. They were not bred for anything but being a lap dog. 

 

They won't herd your children, or over guard your property but they will give you all their unconditional love. 

 

They do not chase the mailman, but instead think everyone is their friend!

Rescue Puppy-Dog Issues

  

Rescue Dog or Puppy-

May have AGGRESSION issues - may have bitten people before!

 

May have BEHAVIORAL issues - marking or going inside the house destroying furniture or other items!

 

May have HEALTH issues - heart murmur, kidney or liver problems, the list goes on.

 

May not have been QUARANTINED. 

long enough to discover contagious diseases and parasites, it may take up to 90 days or more to show up in the hound!

 

No well-informed retail pet store or dog breeder is going to sell dogs and cats, sourced from any so-called "rescue" or animal shelter, because they know the facts that animals obtained from these unregulated sources impose a threat to the health and safety of both people and other animals.
