Greater Birmingham, AL area? There may be a BKC member with the very

are looking for. Please include:

Please realize that we are not a placement service. We
request the above information to help us in directing you to helpful sources and
possibly names of breeders with the breed and type of dog you are looking for.
Be sure to check with your desired breed's "parent club" too!
Be sure to check out your potential breed thoroughly
before you decide on that breed! There are MANY things you should consider,
for starters:
- How much time do you have to devote to your
potential new dog?
- How much room will your dog have to live
in? Apartments and other condensed living areas are seldom suitable
for dogs other than small breeds.
- Do you have a safe, fenced yard for the dog to
play and exercise in?
- If you have other dogs, how likely is it that
they will accept the new puppy? Are the breeds compatible? (Not
sure? Ask us and also talk to your vet).
- Can you afford health care? It takes
more than a rabies shot!
Want a pup, but aren't sure what breed is right
for you or just want to see what all is out there?
