subject: Three Steps To Find Right Dog, Whether It's A Teacup Yorkie Or Larger German Shepherd [print this page] The colorful sign, Yorkie Puppies for Sale accompanied by the cutest dog around may put you in the mood to own a pet. Before you buy a dog, however, it is important to pay attention to your lifestyle and needs as well as the needs of your potential pet. As all dog lovers and owners can testify, living with the right dog is wonderful and living with the wrong dog can be hard.
Analyze Your Lifestyle
The first step to finding a dog that's right for you is to analyze your lifestyle. Ask several questions such as the following:
*Do you have children?
*Do you have a fenced yard?
*Are you looking for a mostly indoor dog?
*Will you be able to spend a lot of time out doors with your pet?
*Do you travel a lot?
*Do you have allergies?
There are several surveys and questionnaires online that you can take to help you understand your lifestyle and the type of dog that fits you.
Know the Characteristics of the Dog
Before you make your final selection, it is important to do homework about different types of dogs. Look at
*Quick facts
*Ideal type of human companions
*Trademark traits
*What they are like to live with
*Other issues like typical health concerns
For example, Teacup Yorkies are small dogs that weigh 3 to 7 pounds. Their ideal companions are singles, families with older children, and individuals with a lot of energy. They are also very independent and need some private down time. Therefore, if you have a small child in your home, a Teacup Yorkie may not be the best type of dog. On the other hand, if the house is empty during the day, this might be a great choice.
Finding the Right Dog
The final step is to actually locate a dog to bring home. There are several places you can go. The type of dog you are looking for will, in part, determine where you search. For instance, if you are looking at Yorkie puppies for sale, you probably won't want to go to an animal shelter.
Professional trainers and breeders, pet stores, classified ads, and animal shelters each have different advantages and disadvantages. For instance animal shelters provide a wide range of dogs to choose from, but they have relatively little knowledge about the dog's past. On the other hand, with a professional trainer or breeder you can learn all about the dog and receive help adapting to the pet once you both get home.
