Dog Fashion, Clothes, accessories and advice

I was looking through some older pictures before and I found this great picture of Peanut before we even took him home!!
Adam has wrote some great tips on buying the right puppy for you and how to make sure everything is right before you hand the money over. These were tips, which we followed when buying Peanut.
When we first set off looking online for breeders we had to find out what dog it was we wanted. We had to take into consideration a number of things such as what size of dog we wanted and the amount of walks they would need. We knew a family member who had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and therefore we had experienced what those dogs were like and that greatly influenced our decision. Now we had narrowed down our search we could then look for breeders online.
After looking online and being happy we had found the right breeder we travelled to Nottingham from Manchester. This was because we had seen pictures online that the breeder had posted which we were happy with. When we arrived at the breeder’s house she showed us the bitch and we were happy that she was well looked after and cared for. The after that (now for the best bit) she brought the puppies in!!! They were 10 weeks old and almost ready to be brought home.
They were great, bouncing around the place and very lively. But one in particular took our eye, he seemed like a bit of a cheeky chappie and he has been that way ever since! So two weeks later we brought him home and prepared for his first night away from his mother.
We had been getting lots of top tips from dog owners over those two weeks and their advice was indispensable. The first night he cried a lot through the night, and the next night and the night after that! But we did hear a rumour that if you wrapped an alarm clock in a blanket it imitates a heartbeat. So by the fourth night we tried that and didn’t hear a peep from him all night! Other things that helped him settle in were mainly given by the breeder such as blankets that had been in his mother’s bed and therefore had her smell on it and small toys from the breeder. We also asked her what food he usually ate so that he didn’t have too many changes all at once.

Prime Paws Introduces Our New Eco Range
Prime Paws has now started to stock the new Eco-Pup range for all those who support mother earth.

Luxury organic and eco-friendly clothing & accessories for pets
Eco-Pup is an Eco-friendly company that specializes in sustainable designer clothing & accessories for dogs.
Eco-Pup Dog Clothing was created by Susanne Postill in 2008. As her dog BoBo, a senior peke-poo, got older she began to dress her more often to help keep her warm and comfortable in her old age. After shopping around for a long time, Susanne noticed that the more stylish items were mainly synthetic and "big box" styles. Wanting to provide her dog with something gentle and natural, she began to look for natural & organic pet clothing. Upon searching high & low, Susanne found that all of the natural/organic clothing items available for pets consisted of very basic pieces that just didn't fit BoBo's style. She felt that there needed to be more fashionable green options available for pet clothing - just because it's green doesn't mean it has to lack style! Combining her love of fashion, animals, and the environment she created a sustainable line of pet clothing and accessories - Eco-Pup Dog Clothing!
Eco-Pup's green fashions are designed for every season to meet the needs of Eco-friendly and fashion forward customers who want to dress their dogs in functional and stylish clothing while maintaining a healthy, eco-friendly lifestyle for both themselves and their pets.

Eco-Pup designs all of their products to be easy to put on and remove, and ensures that they are durable enough to endure the 'dog days' of life.

Buying a Puppy
There are a number of things to consider when you decide to buy a puppy from a breeder.
Research different breeds of dog so you can find a breed to suit you and your lifestyle. For example some dogs need little exercise, some need lots. If you have or intend to have children you will need a breed that is good with children. Different breeds cost different amounts of money.
Find a breeder that breeds the type of dog you want. The Internet provides a great place for finding breeders but you should be prepared to travel a distance to buy a specific breed.
Once you have found a possible breeder you need to make sure that he/she is a reputable breeder who has experience of rearing puppies. Try to find out as much as you can about him/her, by looking at their website, talking to them on the phone and perhaps by asking them if you can speak to owners that have previously their bought puppies.
The following questions should give you an idea of the kind of things you need to ask your breeder, either on the phone or in person, to determine whether they are the right breeder for you to buy from.
- Have the puppies been socialized with people and children?
- Have the puppies had any of their vaccinations?
- Have the puppies had their dew claws removed?
- What food are the puppies eating and how often?
- Do the puppies' parents have any hereditary conditions that may have been passed on to the litter?
- Can you meet the parents of the puppies? This will give you an idea of the size of puppy when it is fully grown the kind of temperament the puppy might have.
