I remember Scooby our first dog a Labrador he was so lovable that we

cuddle him everyday when he was a pup. We were living in a small space
home what we did not realize is that one day he will grow up to be a big dog.
When he grew up Scooby needed a big space for him to play and ran to. We
love Scooby but we were thinking about our neighbor as well since they often
complain about our dog but they too love him but when he barks it's like our
house is going to explode and when he ran it's like there is an earthquake all
us will tell him to stop.

Before you choose a dog, it's important to know how big the dog will be

when full grown, what its temperament and activity level are like, and other
factors. Are you athletic and always on the move or are you a couch potato?
Some breeds are highly energetic and require a lot of activity for optimum
health and happiness. Choose a dog according to your work habits, your
personality and the space you live in.

• Other Considerations

There are some important questions that we should ask yourself before
we bring a dog into our home:

1. Are you a dog person?
   

Dogs demands a lot of your time, attention, and energy than a fish or a
rabbit so this require your commitment that will last a decade or more.

2. Why are you considering a dog for a pet?

3. Do you have the space at your residence to comfortably house a dog?

4. Can you afford to keep a dog?

Dogs can be expensive. Some breeds have more medical problems than
others as do aging dogs. Which is why some dogs end up in other country to
the shelter but in our country they end up in the street. So sad.


Once you have determined that you really want a dog then that is the time
to determine what kind of dog you want.
