Question
I am looking to get a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. However the breeder that is expecting to sell soon said that the puppies will be from a mother who will have her very first litter.
I just would like everyone's thought on this. Is it OK in terms of risk to puppy health etc? Is it better to get a puppy from an experienced bitch?
Please assist
Answer
Is it better the be the first child, the second or the third?
While it might matter, other things are way more important: a safe and clean home to grow up in with loving parents.
For puppies these things are more important:
- healthy parents with no behaviour problems.
- No known health and genetic defects.
- A clean and safe home to grow up in.
- And then some proper socializing and training.
- Then, and maybe then, a first time mother maybe matters. (it probably will not)
