Answer 2

Well, I dont know how I'm going to top the person with the long answer, but I have my experiences, i guess, so I'll just try to add more. Before you take care of a dog, you have to get a dog. Never buy one from a pet store. They're overpriced, and from puppy mills most probably, because no breeder would sell their puppies to a pet store! I'd suggest a shelter, and if you didn't want a mixed breed, there's shelters with purebreeds. They're cheaper, and you save a life! Their gratitude is always thanks enough. your other choice would be a breeder. Breeders are good usually, even though you're not really saving a life, but I'd always look at the parents of the pups first to see how they are. If the mom's tied up to a fence and growling like mad, I'd walk away from the breeder. If you get a dog, you're making a commitment. No turning back and dumping your dog because you're bored of it, or you're moving somewhere. If you move, find a place that allows dogs. Before you get your new friend, you need to make sure you have everything you need. A bed, crate, toys, food, water bowl, food bowl, treats, leash, collar, identification, and make sure that you know a vet you could take your dog too. Also, dog proof/puppy proof your house. A chew toy would be good too. When you get your dog though, you have to make sure you find out what kind of food the dog's eating at the moment and feed the dog that, and if you want, very slowly switch the food. once you have your dog, you have to make sure you feed the dog, take him or her for walks, bathe regularly, brush regularly, give affection, play with, and take your dog to a vet regularly. I'd suggest taking your dog to a vet as soon as you get your dog (or a few days afterwards). I didn't do that with one of the puppies i had once, and we saw the puppy was limping, and the vet said that awhile ago, the puppy had done something with his paw and it would cost $1000. My mom immediately made us take the puppy back to the breeder :(. You have to train your dog too. Books would help, and websites. Read tons of 'em! Ok, that's about it. If you need any more info, just email me. I've got tons :D

first research the breed you want. go to the local shelter or humane society and find one that's a mix of the breeds you liked. there you will be asked to pay a nominal fee for the spay or neuter and vaccines. take the dog to the vet, they will check it over and tell you when more vaccines will be needed. take your dog back for those vaccines. then continue to keep her currant at least on a yearly exam from the dr. and keep her vaccines current at all times. before you bring the dog home, have a crate, toys,premium food and a leash and collar all ready to go. have a schedule set up that you put the dog on and stick as close to it as you can for the first few months. find a training class, and take the dog to it. this will help you bond with the dog, teach the dog you are leader and to respect you and what you say and eliminate many behavoit problems and teach you how to deal with other ones that may arrise. if you must go to a breeder to have that one special type of dog, then research the breeder. find out if they screen their breeding dogs for genetic problems and temperment test them. never buy from a pet store or any breeder that offers mixed breed pups such as a puggle, boxie, or miniature anything that is not recognized by the breed club. never get a pup or dog from a breeder that will not let you visit the premises where the pup was raised and where the parents live and where you cannot see at least one parent on site when you talk to them. good luck, and thanks for taking steps to plan before you get a dog, you are 100 steps ahead of most people. BIG YAY FOR YOU!

Answer 4

research the breed you are interested in and TALK TO SOMEONE who owns one to make sure it is right for you; be prepared to be in the most part of the day - can't be in? Have to be out working all day? Forget it, they need your company. Be prepared to pay for a quality puppy from a quality breeder, quality food, vet bills and care, and collar, leash, vaccinations, chipping, worming, neutering......$100s, I can tell you. and be prepared to pay for and go to training - essential for puppy socialisation and on going obedience.
