Does anybody have any breed of puppies for sale in Southampton?

Looking for a puppy in Southampton, Hampshire. Any type of dog.Does anybody have any breed of puppies for sale in Southampton?
How experienced an owner are you? Are you independently wealthy and retired?





The reason I ask is that it is very rare for somebody to be able to give adequate care to ALL breeds of dog.





Do some research, there are huge differences between breeds - not just in the obvious things like looks, but in temperament, grooming requirements, drives, exercise requirements....





I've owned dogs for years, but there's a great many breeds of dog that I couldn't hope to cope with (and btw - the UK's most popular breed, the labrador retriever is one such breed I couldn't handle - so it's not just the rare ones!).





Also, if you're looking for a dog, gumtree, kijiji et al are AWFUL places to look. Look up ';Puppy farm';.





My recommendation - if you are looking for a dog (or indeed any pet) think about the type of home you can really offer.





Do you have any other pets?


Who else lives with you %26amp;/or visits regularly?


What are your working hours?


How long can you realistically spend walking, grooming and training a dog?





Then I'd go to a reputable rescue, there's a few below to get you started:

Speak to the staff at the rescue and they'll be able to guide you.





If you are determined to go down the breeder route, find a good one!! Specifically one that is active in some way (eg working, showing or participating in some sport - eg agility) with their dog.





Speak to the breed clubs of the breeds you are interested in, or speak to people at the agility/flyball/lure coursing (etc) club.

Ask at the local branch of the R.S.P.C.A. - ours are always lookng for homes, or you Vets may know of a dog who has just had a litter.


Blue Cross? Local Dog Rescue?


There are obviously pups around because there were a couple of ads in our local newspaper last week.
Have you looked on Gumtree, Preloved or UK Classified ads on the internet? They usually have lots of animals for sale.
