Looking for a puppy

by puppylover2 Online Now Mar 27, 2009 at 10:17 AM

Hi, I just moved into Den Haag and I dont know any Dutch. I wanted to buy a little puppy. I was wondering if there are any pet shops in the hague. What are the price range for the dogs? I need a little puppy preferably who stay small :)..like little westland terriers and japanese spitz. Can somebody mention a couple of pet shops in the hague? Thankyou :)

    Try: http://www.haagsdierencentrum.nl/ I think it's better to look at animals that were "abandoned", rather than to buy from animal dealers. PJ

    Always buy direct from a breeder and not from a shop. Or as PJ said, adopt an abandoned animal.

    Googled it. If you are interested in a pure bred (pedigree dog), than you should start here: raadvanbeheer.nl/index.php?i... If you are willing to take a rescue dog, take a look here: google.co.il/search?q=dog+Re...

    Hi, you might take a look at www.dierenasiels.com, you can fill in what kind of animal you are looking for, also if it is to be a puppy or an adult. There are a lot of young dogs at rescues, so please don't rule them out. Lubama05

    Thanks everybody. Helped a lot. I went through all of the sites. Actually, Im not a dog expert and this is the first time Im buying a dog. I really was hoping if there were any puppies in the hague because I want to raise him/her myself. Or atleast a really small dog that remains small. I went through a couple of resuce and abandoned dogs; they were all very big. I need a small dog. I did find an adult maltese, and I suppose if I dont find any puppy ideally, ill have to look in the asylum for that maltese.

    Good idea to go visit the rescue centres that hold dogs. Sometimes they get in puppies. If you visit a couple of times and leave your name and phone number they might be willing to contact you if they get something of the type you want.

    Hmm yes. I suppose Ill visit the asylum (http://www.haagsdierencentrum.nl/) and I'll keep visiting and leave my information. Maybe a puppy will eventually show up there. Thankyou!
