Do your research! Know which dogs fit into your lifestyle. Do you live in a condo? Which breed is most adaptable to condo living. Do you have time to walk a dog, take it to a dog park, make sure it gets regular exercise...
If you desire a dog with long luscious locks, can you afford the necessary grooming? Will you tire of the required brushing?
Do you love the look of the cute smash face? Then can you afford the medical bills that may be coming your way?
And especially if you are going to adopt from a shelter, please do your research and know your breeds. You cannot rely on the shelter staff and volunteers to pick your dog for you.
The internet is full of sites where you can research dog breeds. Here are just a few:
You can also consult a trainer or behavoirist.
Please do adopt from a shelter or rescue group, and please make sure it is an informed choice for your lifestyle.
