Before
making the decision to get a pet, spend some time determining
why you want one and what type of pet would be best for your
family. Below are tips that would help you and your family
match your requirements and expectations to the right pet including
comparisons between purebred and mixed breed.
Match your lifestyle to the right pet
for you...
Think
about things that are important in your life now.
How physically active are you?
Do you want your pet to be a part of an active life-style? or
A couch potato? Somewhere in-between?
Do you or any household member have allergies to pets?
How settled is your life? Are you expecting major life-style changes
over the next several years?
Many pets live for years. A pet that fits into your life-style
today needs to fit in tomorrow.
Time is precious
in our lives
Do
you have much free time now?
How much time do you have EVERY DAY to spend taking care of a
pet (feeding, grooming, exercising, training and socializing)?
Will there be someone at home to give the animal lots of attention
and love?
All pets need to
live indoors and be part of the family
Is
your home appropriate for your new pet?
Do you have enough space for the type of pet you are thinking
about?
All pets make messes
at times.
Will
your pet be given free range of your entire home or just certain
sections?
How happy would a pet be in this space?
Purebred vs. mixed
breed?
Being
"purebred" only means the animal’s breeder sent
in a standardized form to the American Kennel Club (AKC) for
dogs or one of several national registries for cats. This registration
only states that the animal was bred from two other previously
registered animals of the same breed and does not ensure the
quality of an animal. Over breeding has led to temperament
and/or genetic problems within certain breeds. If you are going
to get a purebred animal, educate yourself about the breed
and find a reputable breeder.
Whether
you choose a purebred or mixed breed animal, you must learn
about the breed itself. How a particular animal will act, look,
and what it’s going to take to care for it are essential
things to know in deciding whether this is the right pet for
you. If it is a mixed breed, investigate each breed in the
combination if known.
After
an animal is spayed or neutered, there are few behavioral differences
between males or females. Opinions vary as to which sex has
the gentler nature. Most "experts" agree to look
to the individual animal or breed versus listening to generalities
of gender.
