History of hormone use in dog breeding
Even though dog breeding today is highly regulated by animal control and organizations like PETA (People for the ethical Treatment of Animals), there is a sordid history of hormone use in dog breeding. Not that long ago, and horribly enough still in some puppy farms or mills, hormones were used to make female dogs more fertile, enabling the horrible dog breeders to have more puppies born with each breeding cycle. However, with this history of hormone use in dog breeding also came a lot more genetic mutations Thankfully, this history of hormone use in dog breeding is just that, in the past, for the most part. Getting a dog without a history of hormone use in dog breeding will ensure that you have a healthily dog all around. Buying a dog with such a history of hormone use in dog breeding will almost guarantee that your dog will have health problems. To avoid buy a puppy bred from such hormone use, try to go to a dog breeder who is accredited. Such a dog breeder will have certifications that they will allow you to examine. Additionally, an accredited dog breeder will be able to provide you with papers for your puppy, certifying that he or she is a full bred dog. These papers will allow you to breed your dog when he or she is full grown if you choose not to have him or her neutered. Moreover, try to go to a dog breeder who does not have a personal history of hormone use in dog breeding, even when we did not know it was bad for dogs. This will keep you from even having the chance of purchasing a dog that was bred from a dog that had a history of hormone use in dog breeding. PETA and other local animal organizations should be able to provide you with a list of suitable dog breeders that have no history of hormone use in dog breeding. Remember that even if you buy a puppy from an accredited breeder who has no history of hormone use in dog breeding, there is no guarantee that your puppy will be fully healthy. Many full bred dogs have a greater chance of genetic problems such as hip dysplasia, eye problems, and hearing problems that mixed breed dogs. Make sure to ask your dog breeder if they have any kind of health clause in your buying contract. Some breeders will cover vet bills for the first moth after you purchase your puppy to ensure that it is healthy from the start. Still other breeders may be willing to exchange a sit puppy for a healthy one in the first thirty days after your purchase.
