Does anybody have any breed of puppies for sale in Southampton?

Looking for a puppy in Southampton, Hampshire. Any type of dog.

Have you looked on Gumtree, Preloved or UK Classified ads on the internet? They usually have lots of animals for sale.

Ask at the local branch of the R.S.P.C.A. - ours are always lookng for homes, or you Vets may know of a dog who has just had a litter.Blue Cross? Local Dog Rescue?There are obviously pups around because there were a couple of ads in our local newspaper last week.

Here you go !!!http://newhampshire.kijiji.com/f-Pets-Dogs-puppies-W0QQCatIdZ100126All puppies for sale on Kijiji in New Hampshire ... you can pick one and check the distance from your houseHope I helped you find a new addition to your family Amelia

How experienced an owner are you? Are you independently wealthy and retired?The reason I ask is that it is very rare for somebody to be able to give adequate care to ALL breeds of dog. Do some research, there are huge differences between breeds - not just in the obvious things like looks, but in temperament, grooming requirements, drives, exercise requirements....I've owned dogs for years, but there's a great many breeds of dog that I couldn't hope to cope with (and btw - the UK's most popular breed, the labrador retriever is one such breed I couldn't handle - so it's not just the rare ones!).Also, if you're looking for a dog, gumtree, kijiji et al are AWFUL places to look. Look up "Puppy farm".My recommendation - if you are looking for a dog (or indeed any pet) think about the type of home you can really offer.Do you have any other pets? Who else lives with you &/or visits regularly?What are your working hours?How long can you realistically spend walking, grooming and training a dog?Then I'd go to a reputable rescue, there's a few below to get you started:Blue Cross Adoption CentreBubb Lane, West End, Southampton, SO30 2HLTel: 023 8069 2894 Fax: 023 8069 5477. www.bluecross.org.uk Happy Dogs RescueBased Ringwood, covers Hampshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire.Tel: 01425 477676 Email [email protected] Ashley Heath Animal CentreHorton Road, Ashley Heath, Ringwood, Hants BH24 2ETTel: 0300 1230749 Fax: 01425 479049http://www.rspca-ashleyheath.org.uk RSPCA Ranvilles Farm Animal Shelter174-176 Ranvilles Lane, Stubbington, Fareham, Hants P014 3EZwww.rspca.org.uk Second Chance Animal Rescue4 Mansbridge Cottages, Mansbridge Road, Mansbridge ,Southampton, SO18 2NHTel: 02380 559552 Email: rose@secondchance.fsworld.co.ukwww.secondchanceanimalrescue.org.ukSt Francis Animal WelfareSunnyside Cottage, Mortimer's Lane, Fair Oak, Nr Southampton, SO50 7EATel: 02380 693282www.sfaw.co.ukSpeak to the staff at the rescue and they'll be able to guide you.If you are determined to go down the breeder route, find a good one!! Specifically one that is active in some way (eg working, showing or participating in some sport - eg agility) with their dog.Speak to the breed clubs of the breeds you are interested in, or speak to people at the agility/flyball/lure coursing (etc) club.Good luck.
