If you hunt wild boar or black bear adopt an Akita. If you frequently find yourself buried under several feet of snow seek out a Saint Bernard. Do your reindeer tend to wander off, you need a Samoyed.<\/p>\n<p>But if you have no<em> need <\/em>for a dog bred for those tasks, then I suggest any purebred or mixed breed dog that is <em>well trained<\/em>. Much more than breed or sex or age, the care and time and training a family gives a dog will determine how \"perfect\" that companion will turn out to be.<\/p>\n<p>So does that mean adopt a dog of any size, age, or energy level? Of course, not. Every family should have what I call \"a pre-pet pow wow\" it's an all-family-member town meeting. And it's then, <em>not<\/em> when the kids are standing in front of the adorable shelter dogs that a family should discuss what they have to offer a canine member of their pack. How much time does each member have? How much dog-safe space can you provide? How much would you enjoy exercising a dog? How committed are you to training? Would a dog's shedding, barking, slobber, stubbornness, strength, or other behavior present a significant problem?<\/p>\n<p>Bringing a new dog into your family will be a great addition to your home. I hope that information provided here will help make the decision of which type of dog to choose easier!\"<\/p>\n<p>Michael J.
