I'm thinking of getting a dog, do you have any tips for choosing the right dog for me?

Yes! I can help you with that. First, think about what type of dog would be best suited to your lifestyle and living arrangements. Consider whether you want a large or small breed, if you're looking for an active or laid-back companion, or if you prefer a specific coat color or size. You should also consider your budget when selecting a pup. Make sure to research different breeds and read reviews before making your decision. Once you've narrowed down your choices, visit a local shelter or breeder and spend some time with the dogs there to get a better feel for each one's temperament and energy level.
