How to pick a puppy

How to pick your puppy

Dogs are often known as a man’s best friend. Humans tend to judge others for whatever the reason. One of the main qualities found in a dog is loyalty. Dogs are very loyal and they will go above and beyond to protect their owner whether they are small or big. They accept their owner for who they are. It doesn't matter if you have a disability, if you’re blind, homely, old, young, etc. If you take care of your puppy and give it the love that it deserves, you will develop a strong friendship and have a life companion.

1. Choose the right type of puppy by educating yourself on different dog breeds (know exactly what to do while you are choosing).
1. What size dog are you interested in?
2. How energetic do you want your new dog to be?
3. How much time can you devote to exercising your dog daily?
4. How often will you be able to play with your dog?
5. How affectionate would you like your dog to be?
6. Do you have other pets?
7. How trainable would you like your dog to be?
8. How protective do you want your new dog to be?
9. How much maintenance and grooming are you able to provide for your dog?
10. What kind of temperature tolerance does your new dog need to have?
2. Choose a trustworthy breeder, shelter, pet store, etc… to pick your desired puppy.
3. Make sure that your home fits the dog's personality.

1. Do you have enough space in your house?
2. A big, loud dog in a small house could drive everyone crazy.
3. Do you have a backyard? Puppies have lots of energy, and they need space to exercise. Having a backyard also allows you to train your puppy to urinate outside.

4. Ensure that you have enough resources.

1. Do you have time to care for your puppy? A new puppy needs lots of care and training for the first few months of it's life. It will always need at least one good walk every day.
2. Do you have a stable financial status? Know that keeping a dog is not cheap, equipment, food and vets fees can cost a lot.

5. Prepare a dog-sitter and inform yourself on veterinary services.

1. Is there someone who could help take care of your dog? You can't always take your pet on vacation with you, so you might need a friend or neighbor to look after it while you are away. Puppies like company, so it's good for them when there is nobody around. If not, consider getting puppies from the same litter, so they can keep each other company.

In short, puppies are a lot of work but well worth it! It’s important to know the basics of living with a dog in order to give it a good happy life and family.
