Many dog lovers dream of bringing a furry friend home, but choosing a responsible breeder is crucial. Today, we chat with Dinesh Gowda Dilip, the owner of Tiger Hood Kennels in Bangalore Rural, Karnataka. Dinesh has over 10 years of experience in the dog industry, specialising in Labrador Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, Beagles and more. His passion lies in ethical breeding and raising healthy, well-adjusted puppies.
Dinesh's love for dogs began in 2004 when he started as an assistant to a mentor. He eagerly absorbed knowledge about dog breeding and showing. Meeting another key mentor, Mr. Sharma further deepened his understanding of dog training, behaviour, and various training techniques.
Dinesh on Training: "Training is nothing. Training the owner is very important... Dogs are not like humans. They follow your tone and emotions... You need to create situations where the dog understands what's right and wrong."
Dinesh faced a significant hurdle early on: the lack of high-quality breeding stock. This proved a barrier to success in competitive dog shows. His determination to find the "secret" to winning led him on a quest for top-quality breeding dogs. By meticulously selecting dogs with excellent pedigrees from reputable breeders, Dinesh gradually built a strong foundation for his own breeding program.
Dinesh emphasizes that successful dog ownership starts with training the owner, not just the dog. He believes counseling for new pet parents is vital, as understanding canine communication through tone and emotion is key to effective training. Dogs learn by associating actions with consequences, not by simply understanding words like "no."
Dinesh on Choosing a Breeder: "Don't rush into buying a puppy. Find the right breeder, book the puppy early, and let it grow with its mother for at least seven weeks. This ensures proper care and vaccinations before bringing it home."
Dinesh urges caution against impulsive puppy purchases. He advises pet parents to thoroughly research breeders and avoid making hasty decisions. The ideal approach is to find a reputable breeder, book a puppy in advance, and allow it to grow with its mother for at least seven weeks (49 days). This ensures proper socialization and the completion of crucial vaccinations before bringing the puppy home.
"Absolutely, Happy Pet India is a perfect platform for responsible pet parents! It allows them to connect with reputable breeders like ourselves and find healthy, well-bred puppies. I've seen the interviews you've done with other breeders – breeders who prioritize good pedigrees and responsible breeding practices for generations. I'm thrilled to be part of this platform and truly appreciate your efforts to connect good breeders with potential pet parents."
Dinesh Gowda Dilip's journey and insights offer valuable lessons for both aspiring breeders and pet parents. His dedication to ethical breeding practices and his belief in responsible pet ownership resonate with Happy Pet's core values. Whether you're looking to add a furry friend to your family or simply want to learn more about dogs, this interview with Dinesh provides a wealth of information and a glimpse into the world of responsible dog breeding.
