Lifestyle goals, responsibilities and financial budgeting. Many different dog breeds were created for a job with a purpose. Therefor, it's crucial to understand your lifestyle goals and ability to meet their breed requirements, understand their characteristics, temperament, training needs, and health considerations before bringing one into your home.
