What to look for when you pick out your dog

Most people say that size and friendliness is what they look for in a dog. There's a lot more characteristics that you need to look for in a dog, here's what they are.

1.)Size. Large dogs aren't usually meant for apartments or for elderly owners. Sometimes small dogs aren't good for kids who are very small because they could easily trip over him/her.

2.)Coat type. Long coated dogs shed, ALOT! Dogs with outer oily coats can sometimes be gross and smell bad.

3.)Potential health problems. If they have eye problems, cancers, or skin problems, there could be problems with your dog later on. Be careful.

4.)Training needs. Some dogs are easy to train while others are harder or more stubborn. You have to find a dog that you can train to go outside when it needs to and not go to the bathroom on the floor in the house. If not, you'll be the one cleaning it. Yuck.

5.)Exercise needs. Some dogs like to jog, and hike. While others are lazy and like to do nothing. If you work, you might want a more of a lazy and low maintenance. But if your a stay at home mother or you go to school, you might want a more playful, energetic dog.

6.)Yards and gardens. Sometimes people have gardens and dogs sometimes like to dig them up and destroy them. Make sure they are closed off and/or the dog doesnt go near them.

7.)Noise factor. Some dogs bark, alot. If you wake up early, a noisy dog wont be a problem. But if you like to sleep in, a noisy dog could wake you up and get annoying.
