The primary question is are you planning to adopt a free puppy or planning on buying one? This may not seem important but it is for many reasons.

Let's look at the options first at the free option, its great to get something free, but this does depend on your circumstances to whether this is going to be suitable for you and your family.

If you adopt a free puppy then the reasons are it may be someone you know or a neighbour that their dog as fallen pregnant and given birth to several beautiful young pups. They are at this stage in a bit of predicament whether to give them away or have them put down, the second option is not very appealing so the first option is the obvious path for the owners.

On the other hand it does depend on the breed of dog to whether this is going to be suitable for you, for example; is the dog going to out grow the area available in your home? You don't want to be getting a dog which when fully grown takes over the house and garden.

Do you have young children? In which case you want a dog that is tolerant around children, some dogs can turn quite nasty and nip and bite when they are poked a prodded by children.

A further consideration to the free puppy option is in most cases it is not going to be a thorough bred, unless the breeders have the dog and the bitch that have mated, but if not it could be any dog in the neighbourhood so you can not be certain how the dog will be as an adult as far as temperament is concerned.
