Are you considering getting a dog??
Here's some questions you should ask yourself, before you make that decision....
Are you & your family ready for a 15yr commitment?
Is your home suitable for a dog?
If living in a rental property, what is your landlords policy on having a dog?
If your living in local authority housing, then you can't have certain breeds, they are listed under Control of dogs regulations...
Is your families lifestyle suited to caring for a dog?
Are all family members in agreement & willing to help with looking after the dog?
Will it be surrendered if a new baby comes into the home?
Who will care for it if you go into hospital or on holidays?
Do you have the financial means to cover, food bedding microchipping vet bills grooming boarding & so on..
Have you considered a particular breed or mixed breed?
If you've made an informed decision to get a dog. Please don't buy a dog from a breeder while rescues & pounds are inundated with perfectly good dogs, who were let down by humans already.
The above is a sample of questions you should ask yourself before making a final decision about getting a dog....

Don't believe your teenagers. Assume you will walk the dog. The days they do walk your dog will be a bonus. I think that a lot of people get dogs thinking that they lie on a sofa all day and appreciate the odd rub. Can you fit in 2 to 3 decent walks per day? Can you afford pet insurance? Can you afford trips to the vet if your dog develops a condition? I may sound harsh but people need to answer these questions honestly before adopting a dog and then causing turmoil to the poor dog when it is returned.
Love this🐕🐈⬛🐾

Good manners....
Good manners are taught at an early age. In humans,a simple "Please & Thank You" can & is considered basic manners.
Now we know dogs can't say "Please & Thank You", so what is basic manners in dogs.
One of the main ones is, when meeting people the dog remains quiet & seated until the person greets them with the owners permission. Even then there should be no jumping up. Another one is no mouthing, & definitely no licking, that's considered very rude.
Because not everyone appreciates a big sloppy doggie kiss..
When greeting other dogs it should be done in a calm manner.
There should be no chasing bikes cars people or small animals. That has to be a difficult one for some breeds.
A well mannered dog is calm, & a joy to be around.
Naturally every dog needs time to run have fun play & just be in the moment.
But in all of this, it's also vitally important for children from the earliest age learn to respect our pets. Young children should only interact with dogs under the strictest of supervision by a responsible adult. That excludes letting a child pull & drag out of a dog while the adult records it.
Good manners costs nothing, yet in both humans & dogs they certainly get noticed & more often than not commented on.
