Picking The Right Puppy For Your Family

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of American Kennel Club. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you and your family looking for a puppy to join your household? Do you know what kind of dog you want:? Will it be a frisky dog that will play fetch and chase a ball with your children? Or will it be a dog that will serve as a security officer in your home? Will it be a mixed breed, or will it be one of the  American Kennel Club purebred breeds? If you have never adopted a pet before, you many have many questions to ask before you do.

If you are buying a purebred, you will want to be sure to check out several responsible breeders, before you make your decision on which pet to buy. American Kennel Club can help you find breeders in several ways: You can go to an AKC dog show, and talk to breeders in person. Or, go on the AKC website to find and AKC club in your area. They also have a section on their website to find a breeder.

Once you have found a breeder or two that you want to visit, you will need to know what to look for, and what to ask. Some of the things you will need to do is find a breeder you are comfortable with. When you find them, ask them if you can visit their home and their kennel, and to see at least one of their puppies. When you are looking the puppies you are considering buying, know how to recognize the signs of illness or malnutrition in puppies. For more on what to ask a breeder, check out the AKC website.

If you decide that you want to adopt a puppy or a older dog from a shelter, the AKC Rescue Network can helo you with that too!  When you are considering adoption of a puppy, you are looking for a new member of your family who will be with you for years. You want to know that you are getting the healthiest, happiest dog you can get. breeds

    These are some really solid questions to ask. Adding a puppy into the home is always a big responsibility and a huge task especially when yo have kids in the mixture. We have gone through helping many puppies find their forever home. In fact, I have our German Shepard puppy sitting on my chest as I write this. (She’s only 6 weeks old.) My husband has been wanting a German Shepard for a long time now, and now that he finally got one she’s glued to ME.

    I am more of a cat person … not to say dogs aren’t great, but I’m not likely to get one. However, if I did, I would definitely do a lot of research. It is so important to understand the typical personality traits and characteristics of the breed of dog you adopt. The right match will help both your family and your dog adjust to one another and make for a very happy life together.

    As a matter of fact, my SIL has recently been visiting reputable dog breeders to play with different breeds of dog for 15-30 minutes. She is visiting several because she has severe allergies and is trying to find a breed that is less allergenic for her.
