So you’ve decided you want to become a puppy owner? Congratulations! But the journey is far from over. You will now need to decide what dog is right for your lifestyle, personality and general taste. Your next step is to find the perfect puppy.
This is a big task because the World Canine Organization estimated that there are 339 different recognized dog breeds around the world. And with the rise in cross-breeding, that number is only going to rise! This might make the process seem daunting, but with Silver Nickels Puppies’ help, you will find the perfect puppy to fulfil the role of man’s best friend.
Here, we go over important factors to consider when choosing which dog breed you’d like to bring home. We will mull over important considerations such as: size, lifestyle, friendliness with children and personality.
What to consider when choosing the perfect puppy for you
Consider the size of the puppy you want to get
Size is the perfect place to begin your quest to find the perfect puppy. Do you want a large dog? You’re going to have to take into account that they will need room to run around and play in, so this is a good option if you have backyard space. Do you want a small dog? Then you don’t have to worry so much about space. But deciding before going to the puppy shop will make your search easier.
Clean air and good ventilation
At Silver Nickel Puppies, our puppy nursery and our puppy showroom are both equipped with clean air ventilation and exhaust systems. They both help to purify and circulate the air constantly to help eliminate all odors and bacteria that cause germs.
Clean environment and healthy showroom
It’s important to make sure that any puppy showroom where you are considering purchasing a puppy has high standards when it comes to cleanliness. If it even looks dirty at the slightest, your puppy may come with many health complications, such as kennel cough, (upper-respiratory disease), worms, or health problems from bad food, and so much more.
At Silver Nickel Puppies, cleanliness is one of our highest standards, so that our puppies can be healthy and safe before they find their forever home.
Consider your lifestyle
One of the biggest considerations when choosing an ideal dog breed for you and your family is lifestyle. What does the life of you and those who inhabit your home look like? If you are often busy or travel a lot, you will probably want a dog that is fairly independent.
Obviously, for any kind of substantial trip you will need to employ a dog sitter or contact a kennel. But if a dog is independent, they will have the ability to stay at home while you are gone for a shorter amount of time, such as when you are at work.
If you work frequently, you will want a dog with this level of independence. However, if you are at home more often, such as in the case of retired couples, independence will not be the biggest factor when selecting your dog.

Consider the Dog’s friendliness to children
Another thing to consider when you want to find the perfect puppy for you is the dog’s friendliness with children, particularly for those with young children. It is normal for children to be frightened of dogs at first, but after properly integrating your dog into your family, there should be no discomfort.
If this is important to you (i.e. if you have children), you will want to look at breeds such as Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, golden doodles, beagles, collies and boxers, as they have been rated as some of the best breeds for those with children.
Consider the dog’s personality
Lastly, personality is a very important part of choosing a doggie. Dog personalities vary as much as those of humans. Do you want goofiness, sweetness, loyalty, energy, or something else? It’s a good idea to narrow down the traits you are looking for before going on your puppy purchasing journey.
