- You may ask yourself, how do I find the right dog breed for me? For many Allentown dog owners, the two main ways they acquire a new canine companion are through buying and rescuing. Whichever option you choose, consider doing a considerable amount of research first. Remember that the breeders of the breed you are researching are often the authors of the research you are reading. Dig a little deeper in your research. Many of them avoid saying negative things about their breed of choice. However, keep in mind that every breed has positive and negative aspects. Start by asking yourself the following questions:
- What size dog will fit my lifestyle?
- How much hair shedding do I consider bothersome?
- How long am I likely to be away from home during the day?
- Am I willing to pay a groomer every 4–8 weeks?
