If you can, talk about nice quirks or habits that will endear the animal to an owner, such as tricks they have mastered. One important thing is to talk about is how the dog gets on with other animals and children, which can be critical to certain buyers.

Travel and shipping can also be stressful for a young pup. To screen potential buyers and keep your pup safe, prioritize selling to buyers in your area. Some of the top puppy-selling websites include Puppies.com (formerly Puppy Find), Nextdaypets.com, and Puppyspot.com.

Do dogs miss their puppies when you sell them? ›

According to a 2013 study, dogs do have long-term memory which means they should be able to recognize their puppies. However, this will depend on how long they have been separated.
