Yes, Even You Can Have a Dog!

I know that I have a tendency to warn people of the issues with each dog breed instead of encourage a particular breed, but it’s only because I want to ensure you are willing to address the challenging parts of each breed.

You may think that it’s easier to not have a dog than to deal with all the difficulties with owning one…but the companionship of a dog cannot be beat!

I have people telling me all the time that they cannot have a dog, either because they are too busy, or because they don’t have room.  I would disagree.

There are hundreds of different dog breeds…all with different characteristics and needs and it’s just a matter of finding the one that fits your situation.

If you travel a lot…choose a breed that can come with you.  If you work a lot…choose a breed that would be alright at home alone for long periods of time…or look into a doggy day care that can take the dog while you are gone.  If you live in a small apartment…choose a breed that does not need a lot of space.

There’s a dog out there for everyone…all it takes is some honesty about what you want….and some homework.
