HOW DO I KNOW WHAT KIND OF BREED IS BEST FOR ME
It is very important to choose the right breed for you. Cute little puppies often grow bigger than expected or become too active and may not be a suitable pet for some people.
When choosing a breed you need to consider what type of house and property you have (e.g. if you have a small yard or live on property). It is also vital to ensure that your yard is secure. You also need to consider the energy level of the breed and it’s grooming requirements. As a rule you should try to match the dog’s energy level with your own. Some dogs have to get a lot of exercise whilst others are content to sit with you. Depending on a breed’s coat type, regular washing and grooming may be required. Remember that the larger a dog, the more it needs to eat. Therefore, the cost of feeding your dog may be a factor you need to consider.
We suggest you attend a few dog shows, look at the breeds and talk to the breeders about their needs, habits and temperament. There are also a number of good books you can read to help you make a decision. (See the RNSWCC Bookshop & the Activities and Events link on the RNSWCC Website for further details)
