Choosing the Dog For You: my Suggestions

Here are my suggestions on "Choosing the Dog For You"


Choosing the right dog for you can be a very important task. Will the kids and the dog get along? Will the other animals get along with the dog?Will the dog be friendly? These are some questions you may think about before getting a new dog, and even choosing a breed. Are you thinking of getting a purebred or even a mixed breed or maybe you just want a mutt ? Sometimes Mixed breeds are more affordable, were the purebreds can be very expensive. But Dont just reject the idea of getting a mutt fron a shelter either. Like any other dog Mutts can be just as friendly, hyper, and loyal as any other breeds.

Does size matter? Think about the size of dog you want to get. Even consider if you have room for the puppy to play. or will the dog be kept outside a lot. The puppys personality usually developes when they are around seven weeks old. You want to spend some time deciding on a dog,so you will be happy with your choice.You want to be sure you have time to cuddle with the puppy and hold him,so he gets plenty of attention.

Set down your magazine for a minute to see if the puppy goes and hides.Get on the floor with the puppy and play to see whether they have an agressive or kind attitude tward you. Their are many places to start looking for a puppy. you could even ask a friend or your vet or pet magazines.You could also check with shelters to see the dogs they have.Or there is a website you could use called http://www.petfinder.com/.
