I'm thinking about getting a puppy. Do you have any tips for choosing one?

Yes, I do! Here are some things to consider when selecting a pup: 
1. Think about the size and energy level of the dog that best suits your lifestyle and living space.
2. Research breeds and look into their personalities to make sure they fit with your family's needs.
3. Visit breeders or shelters to get a good feel for the puppies before making a decision.
4. Make sure the pup is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations and deworming treatments.
5. Take the time to socialize the pup early in life so it can be well-adjusted and comfortable around people.
6. Ask yourself if you're ready to take on the responsibility of owning a pet.
