Buying A Puppy Suggestions - continues

I would not buy a Saint Bernard puppy from a pet store.  Caution should also be used about buying from backyard hobby breeders; most of them ask far less for a puppy than a reputable breeder.  Producing healthy puppies, with sound bodies, and good temperament requires a great deal of knowledge and experience with the breed.  Rescue organizations sometimes have puppies as well, you probably won’t know a lot about their pedigree though.  You may be happy with a puppy from any of these sources; ultimately it is your choice.
