When selecting a dog, find a breed that matches your lifestyle. Don't select a high energy breed that needs exercise without adequate room to run. Age is another factor, selecting the cute little puppy from a store, might not be as smart of decision as maybe acquiring a dog from the pound, a little older, but possible already house trained.
