Looking for a puppy

Hi guys,

just wanna ask around if theres any recommendations for a pet shop? heard many horror stories on pet farms and puppy mills so not very sure what to expect....

greatly appreciate any replies from any doggie lovers

thank you

dun buy fm pet shop... if u really wan a dog for a pet... go spca to adopt...

yea been reading up on adopting a doggie too.... will be finding time to visit and take a look... went to seletar, pasir ris and serangoon over the last weekend to visit the pet farms...some of the doggies look so pitiful in the environment they are kept

kian, go SPCA lah n adopt one....... good karma lah, mayb you will break 80s soon

be patient n go everywkend, somtimes u might find one u like

thats what all my frends told me too
alot of people giveaway their pets after they bought them


the first thing i wanna train my doggie is to pick golf balls for me whn i practice putting

kian, i borrow your doggie after you train him ok? must train him to pick up pro-v1 type of balls ok?

finish ICT liao? can play or not?

kian, sms me.
I tell u where to buy.
I got one hotdog at home

So u out of army liao, join me lah Sat NSRCC

where u stay is important as well... HDB cannot keep big/medium dogs...

there are a few rescue homes in SG... do a search...

My puppy is attentive but she can't keep good grades at school.



we have evidence that they moment we go to work she snooze the afternoon away.



Kian you want? oh btw i forgot to add that she snores too.

All the best bro, please adopt a dog from someone or from spca, dont buy lah, there are alr alot of homeless pets around in SG...

I wish that the dog will find you as well, must have a bit of fate in this search.... having a dog is a lifelong commitment but you gain a friend for life...

My doggie cannot pick golf balls but if i hide a golf ball and ask him to find, he can find it when he is good mood....

Raphlim, Ur doggie is so cute!

Kian, you can visit SPCA to check out the dogs up for adoption. Coincidentally, i'm also looking to get a dog, though my place is really small =P

to adopt a dog, best to bring along someone who hv experience with dogs so he can more or less tell the character of the dog...
timid dogs can be good and bad... Alpha dogs will take over u as the boss of the house...

good thing abt adopting a dog is their character dun change much

Two months ago, my wife found a Schnauzer abandon by the owner. The condition was really bad, suspect being tortured. She cant bear to send to SPCA, so we have one more baby to carry.....

well done brother, from a fellow Schnauzer lover to another....

Hi Dgman - is that a mini dachshund or cocker spaniel???? they are so gentle! how old is the cutie?

Hi ralph and p3nboy - my best frend bought a minature Schnauzer last sunday too very cute and playful!

Yoz cheazoo - do u wanna make a trip down to spca together?

i joined several pet forums and look thru lots of the posts....seems like theres many home breeders selling the puppies as a for-profit business!



@mizzy - let me recover from my swing first haha haven played for a month le... can jio daniel to play ma!



Looks like the search for a lifelong doggie buddy is as elusive as the search for the perfect driver

it may appear when you least expect it

Ya man! Call it fate or whatever... my dog found us and stayed forever. This little puppy jumped into my mom's car when she went out to open the gate. We couldn't locate the owner. Next thing we know, he's spending his nights comfortably on the sofa, watching tv with my brother. It's been 5 years since.

Now he's my mom's favourite son... regular hair cut, medical check up, etc. Cheh!!

Wah botak! So drama one like TV serial.
Kudos to yr family for taking in the pup.

wah like that also can!!! maybe whn i pass by any industrial estates i will try to keep a lookout for puppies

Yes. That is the case. My adopted adult Schnauzer was rescued from one such breeder. There are just too many puppy mills out there. So support adoption and kerb the demand.

hey kian..maybe going there this Sun to take a look.
hmm..on the same note, i'm thinking volunteering there too! =P hopefully can do something for the doggies there.

if u think of volunteering at SPCA, forget... they hv a long list of volunteers

what kind of volunteering?
