• Running with companion dog is terrific exercise. But be sure that you are in control.
• If you choose a pedigree dog, you must still look for a strain in that breed that fits your lifestyle. Gundogs (Sporting) can come from a “working” or a “show” strain.
• It is safe to let prospective owners handle the puppies if they haven’t been handling other dogs.
• The best way to decide on the suitability of a particular kennel is to see as many of their dogs as possible, both at home and at work or in the show-ring.
• When you are giving out the dogs: the age to leave home is a compromise. A critical socializing time is about six week, when ideally the puppy should meet its new family, but other factors usually dictate that eight weeks is probably the best practical age at which to buy your puppy.
