Before deciding whether or not to get a pure breed dog or adopt a mixed breed from a shelter you really have to ask yourself these questions.

1. Pure breeds are expensive. Are you willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a dog of adopt one from a shelter?

2. Have you done your research? Do you know the characteristics that you want in a dog?

3. Do you know and are willing to accept behavior traits of the breed? Some breeds will howl, dig or preform other annoying acts.

4. Some pure breeds have genetic health problems. Are you willing to accept this?

5. Did you get your dog from someone who does all the right things to produce good-tempered, healthy family pets?

Ask yourself these questions, do your research and I’m sure that you will make the right decision.

Remember, your pets count!
