The 21st century has introduced fashion for small dogs. Although, of course, large or small - the essence does not change. By purchasing a pet, you get a loyal friend for many years. Don't start a dog unless you are ready to take responsibility for its life and health. Consider if you can spend enough time and money to care for it. A dog is not a toy that you can shove in a corner and forget if you are tired of it. And the choice of a pet should be taken seriously and responsibly.

Step 1
First of all, answer the question for yourself: why are you getting a dog? Do you want to have a friend who will accompany you everywhere? Are you attracted to exhibition work? Or maybe you are a stay-at-home and want to have a companion dog? Will you be able to take your pet out for a walk in time or will you have to accustom him to a special litter box? How long will he stay at home alone? These are all very significant questions. Buy a dog according to your ideas of what its life will be like, as each breed has its own temperament.
