Any Breed Will Do - Oh Really?

So you've decided you want a dog - anything will do as long as it's warm, soft and fuzzy, right?

There are many things to take into consideration before getting a dog, and so far we've covered a good many topics concerning this - however, it pays in the long run to do thorough research before getting your pooch. That's why I'm going as in depth as I can think covering this before moving on to other topics.

Will any breed do? The answer to this question is simply - NO. Just because they look cute or seem to be fun is no justification for adding a new member into your household that could possible turn it upside down due to bad planning. Granted, situations can occur that a furry fuzzball can come into your life quite unexpectedly. You may not always be prepared - but being well informed will definitely help in what to expect and what to do.

In this next series of topics we are going to cover several items:

1. What is a breed?
2. Choosing a breed
3. Dog Source: private breeders
3. Finding a responsible breeder
4. How much should they really cost?
5. Dog Source: shelters
6. Dog Source: rescues for pure breeds
7. Dog Source: preowned by family/friends
8. Dog Source: just a stray
9. Dog Source: pet stores
10. Dog Source: the classifieds

Each of these topics will include as much information and also links with information as I can find - as I expand this blog and cover more topics I hope with your comments and input it can be the best it can be.
