Here are 5 tips to help you make the purchase of a dog easy and ensure that your dog is a good fit for you.

Tip #1 – Why do you want to have a dog. Beyond “I want a pet dog because I love dogs”: You should think beyond the simple statement, “I’ve always wanted one but couldn’t afford one.” This is where you need to dig deeper. Which purpose does the dog serve? Pet? Service dog? Working dog? I recommend purchasing a shelter dog if it is something you desire. There are many dogs available in shelters that would love for you to adopt them and make an excellent addition to your home.

But, I want a dog. Shelters do have puppies.

But I want a purebred, with papers. You don’t need papers if you are looking to adopt a pet. They can be useful for warming your house in the fire pit.

Define what role the dog plays in your life. Choose the dog that is most compatible with that role. I recommend breeds like the American Pit Bull Terrier (Border Collie) if you want an outgoing, high-energy, loyal, intelligent dog. Both dogs are intelligent and loyal and have a lot of energy.

If you are looking for a slower dog breed, consider the Bassett Hound and English Mastiff.

I am now tip number 2.

Tip #2 – What size dog do you desire? Larger dogs are more expensive. More food, more health problems, etc. Dogs with shorter lifespans have higher vet bills. Food and medical bills will add up over the next 12-15 years.

Dog owners usually choose to go somewhere in the middle. They select a medium-sized dog breed.

Tip #3 – Puppy, Adolescent and Adult? I recommend that first-time dog owners buy adolescents and adults. This is because you will know what you get and it will be easier to avoid dog accidents like pooing in the kitchen. This alone makes an adult dog worth the investment.

In the United States, breeding is not as regulated as it should be. It is common for show dogs to be bred for their appearance rather than their function.

Even though working dogs are not without their faults, you will be more likely to get the dog you want from a trained or licensed breeder.

Puppies can be a laborious task. Puppies are more difficult than other dogs. You must care for them from the moment they arrive until their last breath.

Tip 4: Purchase from a shelter. If you are looking to buy a working breeder dog, I would recommend getting it from a shelter or training facility.

Again, I would only recommend purchasing from a breeder for working dogs.

You may be wondering exactly what I mean by training centre. There are dog trainers that purchase dogs and train them before reselling them. These trainers help dogs find their homes and train them.

Shelters are a wonderful place to adopt a dog. Particularly for pets. I haven’t even included rescues. It is impossible for me to go into all the details about rescues and shelters. However, I will say that both are exceptional sources of quality dogs and should not be overlooked.

Tip 5: The price. Dogs can cost anywhere from $60,000 to $6,000. Yes, that was $60,000. While it’s possible for some people to not spend that much on a dog, there are still many options.
