Family dogs are more than just pets – they become part of the family! And although your daughter might want a pocket size puppy and your son might want an old English sheepdog and your partner might want a Labrador retriever, stay strong!

You should choose a breed by its personality, temperament, size, and energy level – all of which should suit your family’s lifestyle.

Always spend time with the dog you are thinking of bringing into your home as a family. Ask the breeder or pound lots of questions before making your final decision.
