By Stanley Duray

If you don't mind having your carpet constantly being chewed up and your entire house being used as a toilet, and then you poorly won't mind putting up with all of the hassle that comes along with a new puppy. Whilst there will be in months, and possibly years of training involved, having a new puppy is a fantastic thing if anyone to do, as long as you love dogs that is! If you are more inclined to have less hassle and simply enjoy a much easier time with the dog that you have, then it might be a better idea to get a mature dog instead. If you do choose a puppy, here are some thoughts on giving a puppy a new home.

There are going to be quite a few things that you need to think about when you get your new puppy. Never say that he was warned, because you will be in for quite a ride over the next few years.

The first thing you need to look for is a puppy that has a completely clean bill of health. This will be the first thing that you need to check for when getting your new puppy, and if you notice any signs of illness or disease in the dog, then you should think about getting a different one.

The next thing that you need to look into is whether the puppy is fully socialised or not. Naturally a puppy is going to be very excitable and playful, but sometimes in the confines of a kennel these characteristics can be smothered to some extent. It is therefore going to be important view to try to spend some time alone with the puppy and bring its character out.

You really need to check on the puppy's personality in order to make sure that it is not too aggressive. It is okay to find a puppy that is a little bit reserved and shy, as this is perfectly natural in a shelter. However, finding a puppy that is overly aggressive is not going to be the best thing to do.

The last thing that you need to check on with your puppy is its breed. Of course, you may well have a specific breed in mind that you are after, but looking at the breed is also a fantastic way of finding out what sort of dog it might grow into. We all know that certain types of dogs can be prone to snap or lash out. You need to know what sort of dog you are getting before you commit to adopting one.
