How to Choose the Right Breed for Your Home/Family?

Choosing a breed should match your lifestyle first, appearance second. Start with these factors.

Space and Activity

Apartment homes need breeds that adapt to smaller spaces and predictable exercise routines.

Family Schedule

If everyone is out for long hours, choose a breed that handles alone time better or consider daycare support.

Children and Senior Family Members

Temperament matters. Ask your vet about calm, social breeds with manageable grooming needs.

Long-term Budget

Consider food, grooming, vaccinations, and possible medical costs before finalizing.
