Puppies and dogs, we all adore them. They can be a person’s
workout partner, lazy Sunday evening couch partner and our best friend, but
sometimes these furry friends of ours can take a whole lot of work to have
around.

If you’re in the market for a dog and don’t know which to
chose, you’re in luck. There are close to 340 different breeds of dogs on this
planet for you to choose from. Before you go out looking for a dog you might
want to do some research first. Some research questions to ask are, smartest
breeds, breeds least likely to shed, how big certain breeds get and average
behavior of a certain breed. Research is the number one thing a dog buyer can
do prior to making the purchase.
There is a great deal of people with many different thoughts
on purchasing and owning a dog.

“Hope has really helped ground me and give me
more of a set routine. I feel like having the extra responsibility has really
matured me,” says Wensley Guthrie, a 21-year-old student at Texas State University. It
is interesting to see this kind of viewpoint from a young adult who is still
juggling multiple activities a day while still caring for a dog.
Along with almost anything else in the world, dogs have
their cons.
“Having a dog can limit your freedom and your ability to come and
go as you please. Don’t get me wrong, I love having a dog around the house, but
sometimes she knows how to really push my buttons,” Says Kurt Lanthier, a long
time dog owner and father of three.

“My favorite part about owning a puppy is how great of a
companion it is. I love having Palmer around me at all times while at home. One
downfall to owning a dog is the expense that comes with it. The food, vet care
and accessories can all add up. The goods definitely outweigh the bad,” says
Tyler Ware, a 20-year-old Texas State student.
Owning a dog will ensure its ups and downs, but nonetheless a
dog will be a great friend that will always be around.
