When looking for a family pet there are several items to consider. You should consider your family’s life style. If you have young children you need a dog large enough that the young children can play with their dog and not injure her with their rough playing. Families that live in an apartment or are relative inactive should choose a dog that is smaller and doesn’t require a lot of outside activity to remain healthy. Homes with children should always look for a dog that is gentle, affectionate and a social dog that is good with people.
A long haired dog requires frequent brushing and clippings while a short haired dog requires very little time and is often best for a busy family. A high energy dog should Have space to run in a back yard or taken on frequent walks to burn excess energy.
A leather dog lead is excellent for a high energy dog. Consider your family’s life style before selecting a family dog and ask the breeder or veterinarian the dog you are considering will be a good match for your family’s lifestyle.
