Now, where do you start when trying to find your perfect friend?
First question to ask is…
What are the benefits from having a dog that you are looking for?
Your puppy may be for a specific working purpose or simply for a companion to sit on the couch. Your own personal activity will also help you decide which the perfect friend for you is. If you love fitness then there are quite a few puppies that will keep you on your toes. If you love movies on a Friday night, there is a friend that will curl up on the couch.
What is the best dog temperament for you?
As a puppy you can tell a lot about what its behavior is likely to be as an adult dog. Will it be quiet and timid, playful and cheeky or demanding and aggressive. Training and life experiences throughout your puppy’s life will always play a role in its temperament and behavior.
Why is estimating puppies adult size important to you?
You want your puppy to be comfortable in your environment. Usually your own home is a great guide to finding out which new friend is for you. Having a small size apartment may not suit a larger breed dog, you don’t want them to feel confined.
Whichever size puppy you have, they all need exercise and some will require extensive training.
Do you know the average life span of dog that suits you?
If you’re anything like us you would wish your little puppy could live forever. Unfortunately with some puppy personalities and breeds their lifespan can be as little as 8 years where as others can live to be 15 years or older.
You may have also come across the term "Teacup Puppy" in your search for the perfect friend. Be warned that these tiny dogs are prone to many problems and are poorly bred. The quality of life for these little pups is devastating due to their small stature.
Which ever puppy you choose it is important to know the health concerns associated with its breed so you can provide adequate care to see your puppy live a long, happy and healthy life.
 Will short, medium or long hair dog breeds suit your lifestyle?
Hate the idea of finding pet hair all over the couch or worst still, all over your clothes. Maybe a long haired dog breed isn’t for you.
Instead the low maintenance short haired smooth coat varieties might appeal to your busy lifestyle. There are all sorts of hair choices, short haired smooth coat, wired haired, medium and curly or the long haired dogs.
We have found that the different puppy personalities are a general guide and that your new friend will be unique in their behavior. That is the great thing about owning your own puppy.
