Puppies are the cutest little things, they are so easy to bond with and provide hours and hours of fun. You can train them to your standards and not have to help them "un-learn" bad habits they may have picked up along the way. They easily adapt to other pets in the home and are specially to be recommended if you have a young family, as they do not pose a threat in any way (though they do add to the hustle and bustle of your daily routine!).
However, don't get all carried away with the good bits of choosing a suitable puppy! They are also as dependant as little babies - needing frequent feeding and potty training (so be prepared for puddles on your favourite rug!).
They are small and vulnerable - vets bills need to be considered, and they are like mischievous children - nothing is sacred - or safe from them! Be prepared for sleepless nights, runny tummies and chewed up everything!
Getting a new puppy is going to be a big responsibility - a bit like having a new baby really! Thankfully, puppies grow up a lot sooner than babies do, so you get past the sleepless nights and potty training a lot quicker! They are also going to be a big financial committment. And - no I am not trying to put you off! - but I promised I'd help you make the right decision - and this is all part of it.
