Tips for choosing your new best friend
Before you embark on the Boxador adventure, there are a few important things to bear in mind. Avoid dubious dealers and choose a reputable breeder who is not just out to make a quick buck. When you meet the breeder or seller, ask them questions about the parent animals to make sure you are getting a healthy puppy. Observe the little rascal’s behavior and make sure he doesn’t seem shy or anxious. Vaccinations, worming and microchipping should be a matter of course. And listen to your gut feeling – if in doubt, never buy out of pity!
