i think that it would be a good idea to go to the same breeder if you had a good experience before... there is comfort in that.
Why I went to the same breeder was because of the diet and training --- Jaya was my first puppy ever, and so when I bought her, I adopted all of the same practices as my breeder, ie. puppy pen, pee pads, type of bed, type of food, schedule, etc etc. It worked out wonderfully.
Then when we got Jenna - because she had the same background, it was SO much easier to introduce her into the home. She fell into the same routine.
Routine and behavior were big factors for me. I just could not risk going to another breeder, and bring home a puppy that was not used to being in an xpen, or used to using pee-pads, etc etc........ When jenna came to live with us, everything was the same as it was at the breeder's home.
Hope that helps! |
