Hints On Picking A Puppy To Suit Your Lifestyle

The greatest thing about choosing a puppy is that you get to pick your new family member. Unfortunately you didn’t get the same luxury when you inherited that Uncle or Aunt who always manages to say the most inappropriate things at the best of times. A few hints on picking a puppy can make a big difference.

Picking a puppy is one of the most satisfying and enjoyable experiences you could have. Going from puppy to puppy seeing their big lovable eyes and their floppy paws is heart warming. However, if you haven’t researched the right breed for you, it is very easy to find yourself making an impulse buy at a pet store.

Unfortunately impulse buying from a pet store results in dogs being left at shelters or becoming homeless. You see the grandma down the street attempting to walk the Great Dane her family thought was cute as a puppy. They didn’t quite realize it would grow to be so large. Now when grandma tries to walk her dog it looks more like someone trying to barefoot water ski behind a boat. That adorable puppy just doesn’t quite fit with what grandma was after in a dog.

So the question arises, how do you know which puppy will grow to become a suitable dog for your lifestyle? The first thing you should do is work out what you want from your dog.

Below are some hints on picking a puppy you should think about before selecting a good dog breeder to get your pooch from. Grab yourself a pen and paper, put your feet up and outline the ideal friend for you:
