Adding a new family member is a wonderful experience. Getting a dog will completely transform your life and fill your home with happiness. The challenge lies in deciding which dog breed will make the best addition to your household.

Many dog breeds make excellent family pets, but it's important to take everyone's preferences into consideration. This is especially true if you have children.  In choosing a dog, make sure to consider your daily routine and activities, so that the dog you bring home  fits in well with your family.

What Are The Things I Should Consider When Choosing A Family Dog?

There are many factors to consider before getting a family dog. In being a responsible pet owner, make sure that you and your dog’s personality are a  great match.

Here are some of the main factors to consider when choosing a family dog:

  • Choose whether you'd like a calm dog, a more active or hyper dog, or one in between.. You need to be honest with yourself about whether or not you can devote a lot of time to playing with your dog or whether you'd be happier with a dog who prefers quiet time alone. Here are some tips that may help you decide if you’d prefer dog breeds for busy people.
  • Are you concerned about your dog shedding? If you don't have time to frequently clean the house, you should look for a dog that doesn't shed all the time.
  • Take your living situation into account. Can your home accommodate large dogs, or do you need to stick to smaller breeds? Keep in mind  that even small breeds require larger spaces if they like to play around.
  • Additionally, there is the matter of cost, since some dogs require more frequent grooming than others.
