Find A Puppy For Your Dog

It's important to know how to choose a puppy for sale for your older dog or cat to ensure compatibility. How well your current pet(s) accept a newcomer depends on their age, health, gender, genetics and traits of instinct, size, personality�"the list goes on and on.
Some dog breeds are more willing to accept other canines (or cats), while others can be downright cantankerous. The safety and well being of your new puppy, as well as adult dog or cat, must be addressed before you bring the �new kid� into your home.
Breed Considerations
Although there are exceptions, terrier-type breeds developed to go after �critters� may not be able to control their instinct to chase, or worse, injure your new puppy. Sight hounds such as Afghans or Greyhounds may also feel the urge to chase scurrying creatures.
Other dog breeds have been developed to take advantage of predatory behavior, but stop short of injuring. Herding dogs chase joggers, bicyclist, sheep, and cats, for instance�"it’s a natural instinct, so be prepared for careful trainingif you share your life with one of these go-getters.
There are always exceptions, but Kerry Blue Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers or other aggressive dog breeds may not get along with another canine. Most dogs follow the lead of the human family member they respect, though, and if YOU say the new puppy is okay, King Tut often accepts and endorses your decision.
Size Matters
Even friendly dogs could prove dangerous if there’s a great size difference between the pets. An 80-pound dog could accidentally sit on your Chihuahua puppy or cause injury if play gets too rough.
On the flip side, a massivie-size Mastiff puppy might injure your diminutive Maltese adult dog when he puppy-pounces on her small frame. Study the breeds and talk with professionals to help you make informed choices. It can work, but requires more supervision and care on your part.

Cat Considerations
Big bruiser felines can be dangerous for tiny pups. Feline predatory behavior prompts games of stalk and pounce that can turn deadly for helpless pups, or traumatic for browbeaten dogs. Claws can injure your new puppy’s eyes and inspire canine retaliation. Once a cat reaches the age of 12-18 months or so, they lose their inclination to make new pet friends. They will either do theirbest to get rid of any new comers you introduce, or simply hide and become a stranger in their own home.
Cats are less likely to object to young puppies, though, and seem to recognize and be more forgiving of babies. If your cat(s) have had positive experiences with other dogs, they’ll be much more likely to eventually accept a new puppy into the household. It’s very positive if your new puppy grew up around and has been properly introduced and socialized with other cats, so he already respects the feline c’attitude.
Opposite Genders get along best!
As a general rule of �paw� it works best to choose a new dog that’s younger than, and the opposite gender of, your current pet. That means if you already have a male adult dog, introduce a female pup. These combinations prove the least threatening to the older dogs so they don’t feel their authority is challenged.
Opposite genders and ages also work well when introducing the new puppy to cats, because each wants different things out of life. A resident boy cat who wants to �own� territory won’t upset the new girl puppy’s preference for ruling all the toys.
It’s not fair to introduce a new puppy to ALL the cats and dogs in your household at once. Introductions should be done one pet at a time. Sometimes it’s love at first sight, but more often, the pets take days or even weeks to learn to accept new puppies on their turf. By planning ahead, you can choose the best puppy for both you�"and the other pets that also share your heart.
