Dog breeders in South Africa

Many dog breeds are similar, so look at the pix on the breed pages if you're not sure which breed

of dog you want. Ask the breeders about the dogs' temperament, as a dog is not just a pretty face! Plan to take leave from work, because puppies need careful supervision and bonding in their formative years.

It's better to keep the dog in the house where it can't be poisoned, than to risk its life in the garden. A small barking dog can be a good burglar deterrent!

In South Africa, KUSA is considered the authority on dogs, so you can buy a KUSA registered puppy with confidence. KUSA can also send you a copy of the breed standard. Puppies may not look like the breed standard to start with - for example - some breeds change colour as they mature. But you can compare the parents with the breed standard.
