	Puppy's Care Sheet
	A dog makes a great pet because they are lovable & cute, mischievous & fun, and lets not forget loyal. After all, a dog is a man's best friend right? Dogs are the ultimate companion pet as they can have a complicated personality of their own. Dogs can be a best friend for a child and a loyal companion or even body guard for an adult. There's an extensive range of dogs available to suit all and any situation. Some dogs are perfect for family's, others for the aged. Some dogs work, while some will simply never! Some dogs are perfect for indoors and small yards, other need lots of space.
		It's important that the cute puppy your looking at now, will grow into the dog that will suit you and your situation. You will really be making a choice that will last for the lifetime of the dog. First work out which breeds you like and then narrow it down to what will be the best choice in your situation.
	Things to consider: Looks/Coat- Of course the dog you choose has to be one that you'll love. Would you kiss them? You can bet they will always want to kiss you! Long hair means more maintenance Temperament- Boisterous, aggressive, passive, shy, energetic, lazy? Most breeds will already have a 'known' temperament and behavioural patterns Size- Small yard = small dog? Generally speaking this is the case, but it will depend on environment and exercise Environment- Family dog or a dog for old age? Kids, friends, allergies and "if you like the look of your garden", all needs to be taken into consideration. Not to mention if you already have other pets Time- Owning a dog will require you to commit some time every day. Apart from feeding, they need exercise, training, grooming, cleaning and attention. Cost- After purchasing a dog, their will be ongoing expenses for food and maintenance (lots of tennis balls). You should also keep money aside for unexpected vet bills.
