Beautiful photo! This guy looks pretty relaxed, but German shepherds make fantastic outdoor dogs. They’re strong, loyal, and love to walk and hike, making them perfect for active people.

Don’t you just want to go for a run with him? German Shepherds are loyal companions, but a lot of dog experts suggest that they don’t make great family dogs, as they can sometimes be aggressive. Not sure I believe

How cute is this guy? Border collies are notoriously active and intelligent dogs. They can be a challenge to train because of their high intelligence.

The Puppy Mill Song: A Serious Message In A Cute Package
At Happy Healthy Puppy, we work hard to make sure that we get the message across loud and clear: never buy a puppy that came from a puppy mill.
The San Francisco SPCA and the Jullien Brothers and BBDO San Francisco have created a sweet and informative video about why you should never buy a puppy from a puppy mill.

Time for our cute dog fix! This guy’s a beautiful black Labrador.
Labs make great family pets, as they’re often even tempered, happy and good with kids. They can be quite high energy though, especially lab puppies.
They’re not the best dog for houses full of china or fine antiques just waiting to get broken.
Thinking about Buying a Puppy?
Most people spend more time choosing their next car than deciding on the right breed and dog for them.
People keep their cars only a handful of years before trading them in, but a dog can be with you for well over a decade. The dog also sleeps in your house, is a companion to your children, and becomes a close member of your family. As such, buying a puppy should be weighed much more carefully than the decision to buy a car.
An adorable puppy is heartbreakingly cute and cuddly, but requires an incredible investment in time and money for many years. New pet owners commonly underestimate the energy and money needed to socialize and train a dog when they decide they want to buy a puppy.
Nonshedding Dog Breeds
Is your dog’s shedding a problem? Want to reduce the dog hair on your sofa and car seats? There may be a bit of hope, as there are quite a few non shedding dogs.
While the idea of non shedding dogs is appealing, most non shedding dog breeds are just breeds that tend to shed less than others. Many of these breeds have less of a undercoat, shorter fur, or fur that’s less bulky and dense.
That said, some Terrier breeds, Schnauzers, and Poodles shed less than other breeds.
Dogs for Adoption
There are numerous ways to adopt a dog. Breeders, Puppy Mills, Classifieds, Pet Stores, Adoption Centers, friends and relatives, etc. It is up to you to decide from where you want to buy one.
After doing a lot of research into Puppy Mills (most Pet Stores use them) we recommend to sticking with reputable breeders and adoption centers (such as shelters and the SPCA).
