]]> Didn’t think the answer to that question was that easy, did you? The right breed of dog really depends on each individual’s needs and preferences. There are several criteria that you can look at when deciding on a breed, which include (but not limited to) size, color, amount of shedding, amount of grooming required, temperament, energy level, exercise requirements, playfulness, affection level, friendliness towards other pets, ease of training, and protection ability. Lots to think about, huh? But isn’t it great that you actually have all these great choices before selecting your future family member? Imagine the possibilities!

There are various sites out there that can assist you with your breed selection, offering you quizzes and such to help you narrow your search. Our pet forum also serves a wealth of information to find that perfect fit for you. Take a look!

Truly, there is no way to tell. Even if there were a ‘diamond in the rough’ of breeds that had no medical condition per say, one could stumble upon a bad breeder.  These days there are so many breeds that are over-bred, that it is often hit and miss, and even a ‘good’ breeder may not be what they seem. If you do decide to get a dog from a breeder, make sure the breeder comes highly recommended from people in the know.

No matter what type of dog you get though, hopefully you’ll love your pet indefinitely no matter what health concerns may arise. Pet insurance is a great idea for all pet owners as it gives pet owners some peace of mind should an expensive health issue arise.
