How to choose a dog

So you have decided to adopt a dog, but how do you choose between so many different kinds? There are many different breeds, not to mention that some dogs are pure bred, others are mixed. Some dogs have long hair, others short. Will the dog be around children? What is your time schedule and will you be there to take it outside and give it the care it needs? You must decide between a large dog and a small dog, the latter of which is less expensive to care for and feed. You must choose between a puppy and an adult dog. First time dog owners should choose an adult dog because they are easier to care for and require much less training time. Also, you must consider the reason why you are getting a dog: do you want a hunting dog, or simply a great companion? Are you allergic to dogs and never considered it a possibility to own one of these loveable creatures? If so, watch this video to learn about the perfect solution, hypo-allergenic dog breeds.
