Is a rescue boxer as healthy as a puppy you buy?

Boxer Rescue FAQ

Though rescue dogs have no known history, a puppy from 2 dogs without temperament testing, health testing and an uneducated breeder is just at much at risk.

I was told that getting a Rescue avoided all the costs and problems of a puppy. Is that true?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
The answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. Lets look at some of the reasoning you might have seen on the Internet or in books. Rescues are housebroken - They can be or maybe not. Sometimes rescues have lived their entire life outside in someone's yard chained to a fence. Rescue will sometimes foster these dogs, or sometimes kennel them. Even if they learn potty training in that situation, there is no guaranteed they will respect you home the same way.

Why a 'Visual Schnauzer'?

XV Frequently Asked Questions
No real reason - just a joke name that I decided to keep. Dog-wise, my tastes run more towards Basset Hounds. Not that I taste my dogs... From a practical standpoint, it had the advantage that no one was likely to suddenly trademark the term. All the other good 'nosing around in some directories' sort of names had been taken: Finder, Browser, Explorer, Navigator, etc.

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A SILVER MINIATURE SCHNAUZER?

Frequently Asked Questions
When the Salt and Peppers are machine-clipped, the characteristic banded hairs disappear and they become a solid shade of gray, which can vary from a very light gray to dark slate gray. Some people will refer to dogs that have a very light gray undercoat as 'Silver', but they are officially Salt and Pepper. When a lighter Salt and Pepper is machine-clippered, the resulting undercoat can look almost silver. Once the dog has been clippered, what is left is the solid undercoat.

WHERE CAN I FIND A PUPPY?

Frequently Asked Questions
Not all breeders are knowledgeable or have the good of the breed at heart. Your best bet to find a healthy, well-adjusted puppy is from a serious breeder who is knowledgeable of the breed and the health problems commonly seen. Neither the AMSC nor the AKC regulates breeders. An AKC registration does not guarantee quality. It certifies only that the animal is purebred and is the offspring of the parents shown on the registration certificate.

Do you have a puppy I can adopt, or can you tell me where to buy one?

FAQ'S
We rescue Westies, we don't breed them, so it is very rare for us to have a puppy available. Given the horrible pet overpopulation in the United States and the puppy mill situation in Missouri, we do not recommend that anyone purchase a puppy. Purchasing a puppy condemns another dog to death. However, if you must have a puppy, we recommend that you contact a reputable breeder; get references; and check out the dog's parents and pedigree before you make a purchase decision.

Can I buy a bed for my puppy?

FAQ's
Yes you can! Puppies like comfort just as much as older dogs and they need the support and warmth that a good bed can provide. Since the main reason that any dog will chew its bedding is to try to make it more comfortable and because Barka Parka beds are already comfortable your puppy will not feel any particular need to chew the bed.
