Hey! You can start by searching for breeders in your area online and reading reviews. Actually, it's been a really long time since your last reply here, so I hope you've already found your puppy. If you've not, ask for recommendations from your local vet or pet store. Another option is to check out dog rescue organizations. They have older puppies available for adoption. Just make sure to do your research and ask the right questions when you visit a breeder or rescue. Btw, you can also find helpful advice on
dogs breeders' websites and blogs. Anyway, I'm waiting for your updates!
