Advice

Before you even look for a dog, there are a number of things to consider, especially if this is your first dog, or your your first family pet.

Taking on the responsibility of a dog is not something to be done withought serious forethought, no matter what anyone says, like most animals, looking after them properly takes money, time and effort.

Rather than re-invent the wheel, below I have put some links to some websites giving excellent advice on things to consider if you are thinking about adopting a dog. Please take a little time to visit them. Thank you.
