Guidance on Choosing a Dog For A Pet

Choosing a dog is based on two main issues of understanding:

1. your personal situation and environment and
2. the different characteristics and personality traits of the different dog breeds.

It is thought that there is a dog breed for everyone. What really matters in choosing a dog, is not what's popular, but for you to examine your own personality and environment and match them with the breed that you most relate to. Trust your feelings, but invest your time wisely when researching and choosing a dog breed that is compatible with you.

Choosing a Dog - Action steps to making a decision !

1. In choosing a dog, one must determine whether small, medium, large, or giant breeds fit their living space and financial budget and whether an active or laid back dog fits their lifestyle. (be sure to use our Dog Questionnaire and Dog Breed Comparison Table)
2. Education - all members of the family should read as much as possible about breeds that are appropriate 
3. Then find a local breeder. Kennel clubs, veterinarians, boarding kennels, groomers, and pet supply stores will often refer buyers to responsible local breeders. Visit the breeder and view the dogs at both puppy and adult stages of their development.
4. Budget money for puppy purchase, feed, veterinary attention, and training.

Choosing a dog takes time and effort! Do the homework necessary to find a compatible breed before the purchase, rather than subject the family and dog to the heartaches that result from incompatibility.
