- Check for reliability of a selling place you wished to buy a dog. Asking for information from veterinarian or ask for information from association of dog breeding about dog’s classification. 

 - Observe puppy’s mother and father behavior as above 50% of puppy are likely to become like their parents. Be ware of breed’s detection. If you want pure breed dog, have veterinarian to check for its breed before purchase.

- In case that you have small children, ask the owner if dog can get along with children, including his manner when he is alarmed or frightened. Puppy usually likes to play with children and they are different from older dogs that prefer quiet lifestyle and then are always difficult to adjust to lively lifestyle.  

- Get some time to be alone with your dog. Separate him from his cage and observe his behavior. If he is easy to adjust, he will be happy especially with hugging and attention. In case that you prefer full growth dog, spend some time with him without his owner’s existence to observe if he is ready to befriend with his new owner. If he barks or stays away from you, it shows he used to meet bad experience and then he is difficult to adjust. If you receive a dog from an organization, you will have no way to know his part. The more important thing is to ask for information from the owner as much as you can. If the owner is trying to hide or unwilling to answer your question, you are recommended buying a dog from somewhere else.
