</script></div><p>Growing up minus the company of a well-loved pooch because of overbearing parents is not something worth looking back on. Even if they do have valid concerns such as filthy and flea-infested playmates, it is still a pathetic reason. Other kids were able to have their experience of a lifetime with their favorite dogs and that is something extraordinary. So, if you want your kids to lead a much happier life compared to yours, get a pet dog to be their reliable friend and companion as they grow old.</p>
<p>There are so many considerations to choose from when deciding to get a pet. You have to put into perspective the other occupants of the household, if there are any, the size of your house and yard, the breed of the dog and the possible maintenance cost.</p>
<p>This article will explain the reasons for each consideration. Read on so that you will be guided accordingly in your search for the ultimate dog.</p>
<p>If you are the sole occupant in your house, then no problem would crop up regarding this particular situation. Unfortunately, if you are already committed to somebody else and is currently living with that person, you must listen to his or her opinion. You must also heed your kids&#8217; voice if they have something to say. Be open to compromise and collaborate. All of you will be living with a new occupant. It is imperative that everybody knows what is expected of them.</p>

</script></div><p>Second, take note if you live in a cramped condominium unit, a modest apartment, or a palatial abode in the suburb. This will be important so that you will have an idea whether you should get a toy dog, a guard dog or a sport dog. Breeds under the toy dog classification are content with small spaces. Bigger dogs need bigger spaces. They should also be placed outside the house because confining them in a small spot will lead to mayhem. They should be free to run around in the yard and exercise their long limbs and torso. Surely, you don&#8217;t want to come home everyday to a living room that resembles a hurricane-stricken town, right?</p>
<p>Third, read about what breed you want. Not all dogs are created the same. Take note that there are individual differences. Some dogs are prone to getting sick in dusty environments. Others are easy prey to sickness when the temperature changes. Also consider the temperament of the dog. Toy dogs like the Japanese spits and poodle are fun and enjoyable to cuddle. They are also playful so they need affectionate owners. On the other hand, German Shepherds and Rottweiler?s need owners with a dominating personality that can tame them. If you are not self-assured don&#8217;t consider getting their breed. They won&#8217;t obey you. Even if they are still puppies, they can sense if you can be manipulated to fit their whims or not.</p>
<p>Fourth, if you have a limited amount of money for the dog&#8217;s upkeep, get one that is not a burden to the pocket. This means saying no to cute and furry animals that need weekly grooming care and monthly visit to the vet. Others, like the Siberian husky, need an extremely cold location in order to thrive. If you think you can&#8217;t keep up with the increase in your electric bill for his air conditioning needs, forget his kind.</p>
<p>Be patient in choosing the dog of your choice. They will be with you for a long time so it makes sense to get the best one.</p>
<p>Did you know that the lack of knowledge about <a href="http://www.petinsurancepro.com/">insurance and pet health</a> is one of the reasons for many pet hurts? The second biggest problem is that pet owners think that <a href="http://www.petinsurancepro.com/90-discount-on-pet-medication/">discount pet medication</a> is just as good as normal high quality solutions. Unfortunately they are mistaken.</p>

</script></div><p>Originally a hard working gun dog used to spending its days hunting the Labrador retriever has an altogether different image today. Now, Labs are considered to be ideal family pets and if you want the perfect picture of doggie cuteness than a Labrador puppy will fit the bill. Labs are loyal and faithful companions for their owners.</p>
<p>Labrador retrievers are statistically one of the most popular dog breeds in the world with a huge proportion of dog owners having a lab at home. Its friendly, placid, bright, and bouncy good nature makes it a wonderfully delightful companion as well as being perfectly suited for other tasks outside the home such as police work.</p>
<p>Labs are also extensively used as assistance dogs for the blind and also the physically handicapped. They also excel in therapy work.</p>
<p>Remarkably strong swimmers, Labrador retrievers like nothing more than playing in water and they will happily plunge into the sea or a river given the opportunity. The physical make up of the Lab with its otter style tail and waterproof coat means they are really at home in the water and will happily join their owners for a dip in the pool.</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly Labs are great retrievers and their breeding as gun dogs has left them with the ability to carry even the most fragile of objects in their mouths without damaging it. My Lab often brings me my reading glasses without a problem and it is said that they can carry an egg in their mouths without breaking it. Though they are likely to eat the egg as they do have quite ferocious appetites!</p>
<p>Though they were bred as hunting dogs Labs do not have the inherent aggressiveness and poor temperaments of some other breeds and have very few, if any, negative traits in their nature.</p>
<p>The Labs playful nature makes them ideal playmates for children and will be more than a match for even the most energetic of children. They love to chase, and of course retrieve, and throwing a ball for them to run after will give Labs amused for hours. They also love being around humans and enjoying receiving as much as giving affection.</p>
<p>Because of their natural intelligence Labrador retrievers can be very successfully trained to perform even the most complicated of tasks though they can certainly be stubborn and mischievous when they want to be.</p>
<p>Labs are also very curious creatures and they will happily investigate any new surroundings with great glee. If something attracts their attention, particularly the scent of food, they will determinedly seek it out. Similarly they will happily trot after a person they havent met before simply to check them out.</p>
<p>The Labs natural wanderlust can sometimes result in them going AWOL and the careful Lab owner should ensure their contact details are on the dogs tags and, if possible, arrange for their Lab to be micro-chipped to make recovery easier.</p>
<p>Health wise Labs can be prone to being overweight. Their incredible appetites and ability to eat anything put before them means that their weight needs to be carefully monitored. Other health issues which can affect the breed most commonly include problems with hips and joints including the awful condition known as hip dysplasia.</p>
<p>Of course most Labs will live long and healthy lives with out any health issues and, as far as their owners are concerned, they really do make the ideal family pet.</p>
