Choosing the right pet generally
means identifying the type of animal who matches your lifestyle and
wants. If you live alone in a small, third-floor apartment, for instance,
adopting a large, active retriever mix might not be the best choice.
Conversely, if you've got a family of four and are looking for a companion
to match your active family lifestyle, such an animal may be the perfect
choice. A dog's size, exercise requirements, friendliness, assertiveness,
and compatibility with children should all figure into your decision.
