are you ready for cute puppies ?

Your kids want cute puppies . All your neighbors have dogs. It's the great American Dream (for children, anyway) to have a dog like Lassie. However, if this is your first cute puppies, there are some things you need to know before you commit to buying cute puppies

#1 – Dogs Take Time. Puppies Take More Time.
Having cute puppies are like having a 2-year-old. Until they are trained (see #2), they require pretty much constant supervision. After they are trained, they still require supervision until they are older. Much older. If you can't entertain them all day, you may want to consider two dogs, or a cat. Or puppy day care!

#2 – Puppies Need Training. And so do your children.
When I was growing up, we had a dog – for a while. It didn't work out because my parents didn't realize that puppies need training. We were a cat family – and you can pretty much ignore cats. Not so with dogs.
You will need several puppy classes and possibly more classes when your cute puppies are grown. Dogs are not independent, and you need to teach them proper behavior.
If you have children, they need to take the classes with their cute puppies so they can learn how to interact with your new pet.

#3: Puppies Cost Money. Lots of Money.
Ok – this isn't unreasonable, but you need to be prepared to add your cute puppies into your budget. You will have many expenses, especially when you first get your new cute puppies. They need toys, bones, shots, registrations with the state, and don't forget the food, dog houses, collars, clothes (no really – it's a big business – you'll be tempted!) vet bills, and training (see #2).
Dogs are one of the most expensive pets around. Most puppies are part of the family – and will cost you like part of the family. Don't go into this venture thinking they're cheap.

#4 – cute Puppies Grow Into Dogs.
I know that's obvious – but you need to be sure you know how big your dog will be. If you have young children, your cute puppies may outweigh them within a year. Do the research so you know how big your little cute puppies will be when they are dogs
If your pet is a mixed breed dog, look at the paws. Usually, a puppy will grow into their paws.

#5 – Dogs Need Exercise.
And people need exercise – so this can actually be an advantage if handled properly. Cute Puppies need room to run and play. They need people to play with, and they need toys to play with. If you lead a very sedentary lifestyle, be sure you pick a dog breed that is low activity.

The larger the dog, the more room and exercise they need. You will probably need to walk your dog several times a week. Be sure and plan that into your schedule now – or you may find your cute puppies running around the house all day without you.
Owning a dog can be a very rewarding experience – even if this is your first cute puppies. Your dog will become one of the family and be a faithful companion for life. Be prepared for your new cute puppies , and it will be a great adventure for both of you.
