When you are buying a new puppy, you want it to be healthy and active. However, if you do not know what to look for in the miniature bulldog puppies, you can easily be taken advantage of and buy a dog you may not want to have. Here is some information to guarantee you select only the healthiest and happiest puppy around.

Ask If The Parents Are On Site

Most of the time a breeder who is selling the puppies will have one, if not both, of the parents. So you should ask if they are on site and if they are if you can see them. By seeing the parents, you can have an idea on what your puppy will look like when they get older, but also what kind of disposition they should have. If neither parent is on site, you may want to be leery as this could be someone who bought a litter and is now reselling them or someone who is just being the sales man for the breeder.

Look At The Puppies Eyes and Nose

Generally you know when a dog is sick, but a puppy may do a good job of hiding an illness on you. By looking at their eyes, ears, and nose, you can check for discharges, smell any yeast infections, and even hear if they are breathing normal. If any of these items are not looking right to you, then you may want to move on to another puppy or breeder as the dog may have some type of health issues.

Ask About Food             

One of the key things you should ask about is what kind of food the puppy is eating and how much. Often people think puppy food can be switched quickly and easily. However, this is far from the truth. In fact, switching a diet to quickly on the puppy can make them very sick and lead to you having to go to the vet unexpectedly.

Getting to bring a new puppy into your life can easily be one of the most exciting things you can do. However, you need to make sure you understand this new puppy will be a lot of work and may not understand right away. By knowing how to pick out the proper puppy, though, you can easily select the proper one from the breeder and start your new life with your miniature bulldog.
