Buying a new dachshund puppy can be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Puppies and dogs aren't disposable items, and the choices you make will live with you for well over a decade. You'll be responsible for this new dalmatian puppy, and you don't want to make a mistake that could you not only tens of thousands of dollars in medical care, but heartache as well.

99% of puppies sold at pet stores, according the ASPCA and the Humane Society, come from puppies mills. These dogs are poorly bred, poorly raised, and have far higher incidences of becoming sick, both as puppies, and as adult dogs. The trouble is, all puppies are adorable. They don't look sick. But many of the problems they face hit them in middle age. From Hip Dysplasia to hormonal problems, from eye problems to gastrointestinal problems... these issue turn up years after you made your choice. That's why it's so important to make a smart choice today.

Finding a good breeder can be near impossible. How can a layperson tell a good breeder from a bad one. You can't.

And that's why you should buy your new puppy ONLY from a breeder certified by the Veterinary Council for Breed Stewardship on The Puppy Project.

And the best thing is, every Great Dane puppy purchased at The Puppy Project helps put puppy mills out of business!
