Before you get a dog, it's important to consider your lifestyle and how much time you can dedicate to taking care of the pet. You may also want to research local breeders or shelters in order to find a suitable dog for your family. Additionally, make sure that you have adequate space and resources for exercise and training. Finally, be sure to take the necessary steps to ensure that your new pup is up-to-date on its vaccinations and has been spayed/neutered before going home with you.
