Answer by  Freddie12 (77)

A dog can be a great addition to your life. Reflect on your own personality and habits, and look for a dog to match. Consider what you can offer to your pooch. Do you have adequate space, enough energy, and can you cope with shedding? Local libraries provide a starting point to explore the advantages and drawbacks of various breeds.
