There are many different dog breeds to choose from. The things you need to keep in mind are your lifestyle, your hobbies and your present and future situation.
Do you want a pet or do you want a show do? Is it better to adopt a small dog or large breed dog. How much outside space do you have for a large dog if you decide you want a bigger pet?
Do you like crossbreed or purebreds? Is it important to you if your dog is AKC registered? Do you want a puppy or an adult dog?
There are benefits in getting an adult dog. They are already house broken and they probably aren't going to chew up a lot of your shoes and other things. If you decide on acquiring an adult dog, try a couple of tests to be sure of its disposition and personality. Try walking it near another dog, near a child that the dog has never met before and see how it reacts.
Puppies still have a lot to learn and are easily influenced and impressionable. Though still young each and every puppy has its own distinctive personality. The shy puppies stay close to their mothers or hid in corners, while the more sociable puppy will go right over to you and want to play.
As you can see, there is a lot to making the right choice for your family dog.
