While considering the where to buy  your  Golden Retriever and Mini Dachshund  you may be tempted to have a look at puppies in a pet shop

We do not recommend this as an option, as you may feel compelled to choose one and buy many years of issues with a puppy which is not suited to you

Research has shown buying from a puppy mill or farm are more likely to develop problematic behaviours in their adult life

These include an increased risk of aggression, particularly towards the members of the family who own the dog

They are also more aggressive to strangers and other dogs, increased fearfulness in general when takeing you dog out walking t

Such dogs also display an increased risk of separation anxiety, attention seeking behaviour, and sensitivity to touch

All these problem behaviours stem from being given a poor start in life through inadequate socialisation or fearful experiences during the early socialisation period commonly experienced in the environment provided by breeders who mass produce puppies 

Another reason, it is dangerous because we cannot, screen out the most common genetic diseases e So the BEST protection against genetic disease is to ensure ou parent dogs have no relatives in common.

There is a reason why marrying your sibling or parent is not allowed

It is very unfortunate, however, some breeders regularly breed related dogs together, which is known as inbreeding or line breeding

We recommend a Breeder who uses a stud for their breeding program, like Madi's Paws

Breeding Golden Retriever and Mini Dachshund puppies from the same family creates an unacceptably high risk of genetic disease 

Another reason, it is dangerous because we cannot, screen out the most common genetic diseases

Unfortunately there are breeders who do not understand the danger or disregard it in favour of interbreeding for profit

Some breeders do this deliberately to improve the predictability of the appearance of the resulting puppies and thus increase their chances of producing puppies of a certain colour

Buy from a breeder who raise their puppies as part of the family, with lots of handling and exposure to humans both within the household and from outside.

Do not buy from a breeder whose puppies are reared in kennels, as they will not be bonded to humans and ready to become part of your family 

Buy from a registered breeder  like Madi's Paws who gets potty training started early on, this will make it easier for you and the puppy to successfully finish the potty training process

 There is nothing worse than living with a dog which is not reliable with its toileting

Buy from  Madi's Paws a breeder who actively guides you in how to safely socialise your puppy before it is fully immunised
