There are many important things to consider when purchasing a pedigree puppy or pedigree dog and our Find a Puppy Service will give you the right information to help you find your new best friend.

Before buying a puppy or a dog, ask yourself:

• Can I afford to have a dog, taking into account not only the initial cost of purchasing the dog, but also the ongoing expenses such as food, veterinary fees and canine insurance? As a very rough estimate a dog can cost £25 a week.
• Can I make a lifelong commitment to a dog? - A dog’s average life span is 12 years.
• Is my home big enough to house a dog?
• Do I really want to exercise a dog every day?
• Will there be someone at home for a dog? - dogs get lonely just like humans.
• Will I find time to train, groom and generally care for a dog?
• Will I be able to answer YES to these questions every day of the year?

If you have answered ‘no’ to any of the above, you should think again before buying a dog.

If you have been able to answer ‘yes’ to all the questions you can follow the four steps below to assist you in finding your perfect companion.
