There are 5 main categories  that all people need to consider when wanting to get a dog so that the people and dogs are all happy and healthy.

1. Environment : The housing and environment should determine the breed of dog.

2. Activity level : Pick a dog with the same amount of energy as you.

3. Health and Temperment concerns: Knowing the basic health and temperment concerns of a breed are very important.

4. Training needs: How easily trainable is the dog, how much effort is needed from both the Dog and Human.

5. Grooming: How much time is needed for grooming is an important consideration when thinking about getting a dog.

 

Also it is important to make sure the dog is spayed or neutered as it can cause harm to the dog if not done.
