So you decided to get that new puppy for the family but did you consider the responsibility that go with dog ownership. Most dog breeds can live for ten and fifteen years and some may be around for a longer time. Now consider how it will be if you are stuck with the wrong dog type for you and your family. One that will not fit your family lifestyle or conditions. So what would you do? Take him down to the shelter where it is possible that they will put him to sleep. This is the only family member that you have a choice on how and what type of dog you will want and what will fit into your family lifestyle. So choosing the right dog breed is important so take your time and consider all aspects of dog ownership and the type you want to get.

One of the biggest considerations that you might need to take is to see how much room you have in your home. Are you and your family tripping all over each other if so then it might be a good idea to leave the big dogs alone. So don’t go after that Saint Bernard or Lab, Mastiffs. If you have large home and plenty of property then maybe these large dogs will be fine for you.

The next consideration is your family makeup. Are there young children at home. Then it might be a good idea to skip the high strung type of dogs. The ones that need more attention than the children. They could have the potential to bite. These types should be a no no for the family makeup. The poodles, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu. Plus they need a lot of grooming and attention. What could be considered a good match for a family with small children are the gentle breeds and are sturdy and well mannered. and with out the potential to bite. May be the Pug, Cocker Spaniel, Golden Retriever.

Also take into consideration are your family activities. Are you the outdoor type that likes to go to the beach, to the river, goes swimming or fishing. A good choice for you would be the Labs or the Spaniels.

Finally the last consideration on dog breed is the mutt. They can be the most fun type of dog out there and you can rescue one from a shelter and that can be rewarding in by itself.
