When choosing a puppy\, you want to ensure that you take some things into consideration. For instance:

• Would you prefer an active dog or a quiet couch potato?

• Do you have children in your home? How will this puppy relate to them? How fast and how large will the puppy grow?

• Do you need a dog that can be left at home alone for hours?

• Do you have another dog that the dog will have to adjust to?

• Do you need a watchdog?

These are just some of the factors that have to be taken into consideration when making the decision of which is the right puppy for you.

Our process is simple.  When you’re ready to look for your puppy, simply make an appointment and when you come in, you can spend some time with the puppies we have for sale that you’re interested in. During this time, we’ll also provide you with details about the puppy including their age, temperament and personality.  This is what we do; we will happily provide you with as much information about the puppies that you need before you make your choice.

We know buying a puppy is a big step. This puppy will become a dog who will be your companion for a long time to come. Here at Forever Love Puppies, we make sure that you go home with a puppy that is just the right fit.

Differences in Dog Breeds - Deciding On the Right Puppy For You

What you enjoy doing and how you live your life may play a role in what kind of puppy would be good for you. What types of things interest you the most? 

For example, If you are an active person, that loves to run and take hikes, but at the same time loves to sit at home and relax, a Boston Terrier would be a great dog choice for you. Boston Terriers love to run and play, but at the same time they can just relax on the couch and enjoy sitting by your side while you are watching a good movie.  

If you are the type of person that is always on the go, and enjoys a lot of different social situations, a well-trained Chihuahua could be a good companion for your outings. Since these types of dogs are small, they do well in a variety of different sized spaces as well. 

You also don’t want to go solely off physical traits of the dog, take for instance, the Cockapoo. Cockapoos puppies are extremely cute and cuddly, but can also be very active. When a cockapoo becomes a fully grown adult dog, they usually need one hour of activity a day to burn off energy.  If you’re not a highly active person or don’t have much time to spare in your day, you may find another breed that better suits you. 

For those who love highly intuitive breeds, we offer German Shepherd puppies. German Shepherds are extremely smart and courageous, and make excellent, loyal companions. 

Forever Love Puppies is here for you every step of the way. See some of our puppies for sale, here.

Other Things to Consider - Your Puppy's Future Size, Health, and Temperament

Another thing to keep in mind when choosing your puppy is the space you have available at home, and the energy levels of the dog. While smaller dogs can fit into almost any size home or apartment, many larger breeds may need a yard to allow them to burn off energy on a daily basis.

You also want to look into the health needs of the different breeds. Some are not known for having many health problems, others are. In the case of the dog being known for having more health issues, you need to understand that this dog over the course of its life will cost you more than the lower maintenance dog (or at least get good dog insurance!).

Besides the dog’s health, you want to take your own into consideration when choosing your puppy. Do you suffer from allergies? If so, you’d want to choose a breed who’s known to not shed as much dog hair and dander. While there are no 100% hypoallergenic dogs, there are many breeds that you will do well with, even if you suffer from allergies. 

Whatever type of puppy you need, we have it. While it’s good to do some research on your own before coming in, we’ll make sure to provide you with all the info you need on whichever puppy you’re interested in to ensure you're choosing the right puppy breed for you. If in the Miami-Dade or Broward county area, make an appointment, and then pass by Forever Love Puppies, and we’ll set you up with a puppy who will become your best friend for life!
