When thinking of which dog to choose, also keep your income in mind. Some dog breeds can be very expensive, with preferred diets, shots, toys, grooming, and other healthcare just to name a few. Maybe a smaller dog may fit your budget better, or maybe you would be better off with a mid sized dog. But if you happen to be living very comfortably, by all means choose your favorite!

Some dogs have special conditions that must be kept under control. For example, some dogs may have issues with separation anxiety, so they should not be left alone for long periods of time. Always keep the smallest details about your pet in mind!
