There are many
factors to take into consideration before adopting an animal. If you have an apartment
you might want to get a smaller dog, although some larger breeds do well in smaller
spaces. Here are a few links to some fun tests, and some general animal information
so you can get an idea what what companion goes best with your lifestyle. Enjoy!
This
AKC site is suggested to research what breed (hair, grooming, health issues, temperment,
size, small children, etc.) would best fit your lifestyle and family - before
you adopt. http://www.akc.org/breeds/rescue.cfm
