Are you ready to buy a purebred cat or dog? As you begin your search for your new buddy, consider this expert advice about buying a purebred pet. 1. Determine the breed of animal that's best for you. "Cat buyers tend to fall in love with the look of a particular breed but fail to research the breed thoroughly," said Janet Saltzman of Great Lakes Bengal Rescue. "Buyers need to check the behaviors, characteristics and health concerns of the breed," she said. "Look toward each breed with an eye if that breed's temperament and activity level and grooming needs will meet your lifestyle," said Lisa Mason, director of communications for the American Kennel Club (AKC). "For example, if you are a couch potato and you don't like the great outdoors, perhaps a border collie is not for you." Start your research on the Web sites of the AKC, The International Cat Association and the Cat Fanciers' Association, which offer profiles of various purebred cat and dog breeds. 2. Be sure you're prepared for the costs. Factors influencing the cost of purebreds include stud fees, how closely the animal matches the breed standard, the kennel's geographic area and the popularity of the breed. Mason points out the purchase is just the start of your expenses. An AKC survey found the average cost of owning a purebred dog is $2,500/year. The ASPCA estimates the annual cost of cat ownership at $675 per feline. 3. Evaluate breeders in your area. The Web sites mentioned above include lists of registered breeders who offer purebred cats and dogs for sale. After you visit the breeders' Web sites, call them or talk to them at a cat/dog show. Questions to ask include: --At what age do you let your kittens or puppies go to their new homes? --What vaccines do they receive? --Have their parents been tested for genetic defects common to the breed? --Do you provide ongoing advice for buyers? --Do you show your animals or participate in breed clubs? --Are you active in rescue groups for your breed? "Breeders who show their pets are trying to match the breed standard and are more apt to use healthy breeding stock," Saltzman said. "If a breeder is active in rescue, it shows me they feel a responsibility to the cat they put into the world and to the breed as a whole. " Buying from a local breeder can help you avoid online sites that take your money but don't deliver a pet. 4. Once you've selected a breeder, visit their kennel or cattery. A responsible breeder will give you a tour of their facilities. Make sure the animals are in clean conditions, appear healthy and are well-socialized. Meet the parents of your potential pet to get an idea of what your animal would be like. Mason says a responsible breeder will interview you to see if you would provide a good home for his/her animal. 5. Read the breeder's contract. --Is there a health guarantee for the purebred cat or dog? -- Are you required to spay or neuter the pet by a certain age? --If a time comes when you can no longer keep the pet, will the breeder take it back? 6. Bring your purebred home. Before picking up your new pet, make sure you know what forms of payment the breeder accepts. While some cat breeders withhold an animal's registration papers until the cat is spayed or neutered, the AKC says its breeders should send the papers home with the dog buyer at the time of purchase. |
