With spring just days away, it’s time for you to finally go through with that plan you’ve been considering for years: it’s time to bring a puppy home.
Of course, you should be prepared before you bring a puppy into your home. But once you are, there’s no better time to do so than the spring. Here are a few reasons you should bring a puppy home during the springtime:
The Weather
The weather is getting warmer and that’s good for both you and the puppy. Potty training in the cold weather can be difficult – no one wants to stand out in the cold and snow, trying to get a new dog to go. It’s also worth remembering that the puppy will be away from its mother and siblings for the first time and will be looking for warmth at night. It’s easier to replicate that warmth during the spring and summer that follows.
Longer Days
In addition to the weather, one of the best parts of spring is the days getting longer. These longer days with more sunlight means more time for you to walk your puppy and train it outside. It allows for easier after-work and after-dinner walks. The more you walk, the quicker potty training will go. Plus, people tend to have more time off in the spring and summer than other months.
More Puppies Available
More puppies are born in the spring than any other season. This serves an evolutionary purpose: baby animals are usually born in the early spring, giving them ample time to grow before the winter. Even in the world of breeding and human-controlled environments, this still sometimes holds true. If you want to adopt a puppy as young as possible, spring is the time to do it.
If you’re looking to adopt a dog, but aren’t sure what breed you want, consider a miniature dachshund. At Doc’s Miniature Dachshunds, we breed miniature dachshund puppies at our Mount Vernon, IL headquarters and sell them to loving owners from all over the place.
