Have you ever wondered how that “very right dog” should look like? There is no perfect profile, no ideal pattern and no super-dog. You just trust your first instinct and pick up the one you felt most connected to, from the moment you both first met. Choosing a puppy from the dog litter is not exactly an easy task. Ok.

First, you should know that dogs have strong personalities. Some are playful, some are not, some are dynamic, some are lazy, lying and snoring down on the floor all day long. As a future pet owner, you’re supposed to pay extreme attention to this main question: what kind of dog would you like to take care of? Or, why not, what kind of “living toy” would be the best birthday gift ever for your kid?
