Choosing a pup seems simple when we re five years old and have the luxury of pointing and saying that one but choosing one many years later is a different prospect. Firstly, there needs to be a decision as to whom and for what the dog being is for. Are you looking for a guard dog, a lap dog for companionship or something to fit an active lifestyle of a bachelor. Once a reason has been established then moving onto the next criteria is possible.

How much will your dog be involved in your social activities? One needs to consider the social life they lead, if you happen to be a social butterfly and always away or hosting guests than it limits the choices available your disposal.

All prospective owners should consider interviewing veterinarians before adopting a dog.

Better yet, veterinarians are also able to highlight any problems or special needs the dog being considered might need or have.

What measures are in place in the event your dog gets lost? No one wants to think about it but it will happen, at least once. A collar with your contact details is sufficient enough but inserting a microchip with a GPS tracker works better. Either method is fine and integrating the two works even better but ensure that your details are always up to date.

Provide your pet with proper identification. A collar with you contact information works just fine. Also keep updated photos in the unfortunate case of a lost pet, it may help rendering the task of finding them easier.
