In getting a dog, consider also how big the puppy will get, like a cuddly St. Bernard can weigh up to 130 pounds. You also need to talk to a veterinarian and ask how many vaccinations will a specific breed need and how much will each cost. Then you now have to settle the question on who will take care of the dog. Even if your children promise to help take care of it, you will still end up doing most of the work like dog-walking, toilet training, feeding and bathing. If you really want to have a dog, try adopting one from an animal shelter, where animals that need homes live in less than ideal situations. You might realize that a dog that does not fit somebody else’s personality could be great company for you after all.
