When you decide what dog will fit your family and life style, and then pick what one you want. Buying a puppy on impulse may only cause heart break later on in life. It’s probably a good idea to put a lot of thought in to your  pet. Ask yourself some questions as you think about your needs and preferences for your dog. Decide if you want a house- hold pet, a dog for breeding or a dog show. Would you want a female or a male. Puppy or adult?
