What kind of pet should you get?
What kind of pet is right for you? Cat...dog...bird...small mammal... It can be a difficult decision but it is very important to research the pros and cons of each type of pet before making your choice. If you have decided a dog is right for you, then you must consider which kind. Who knows - maybe the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is the dog for you? There are many different things to consider - lifestyle, size, getting along with other pets etc. and choosing the correct species and breed is imperative! AAHA has a wonderful link with information on different dogs, cats, birds and small mammals. Even if you are considering a mixed breed dog, it will help to research the types of breed that make up the particular mixed breed to see if it will meld with your lifestyle. If you have additional questions, your veterinarian can help. If you choose a breed, choose your breeder carefully and it is best to visit the facility beforehand. Choosing carefully and doing research can make the difference between a wonderful companion or a pet that is unwanted. Choose thoughtfully!
