So your family is ready to get a dog but you have no idea about breeds? Not sure if an adult dog or puppy is most suitable for your situation? Your only experience with breeds is your neighbour or friends dog that you like, or you fell in love with a puppy at the petshop yesterday.

If you buy a dog that is not suited in energy levels, trainability and sociability to your family, you will end up spending $$$ and years trying to change that dog into what you want which can have limited success. We want you to get the right dog so you can focus on having an amazing life together!

With so many different dogs of different ages and breeds, why not get some assistance to find the perfect dog for your family to avoid this extra work? Often people have misconceptions about a breed because they met one that was awesome, or one that was aggressive, barky or hyperactive. I can’t count the number of families who have come to me overwhelmed and stressed after purchasing a labrador because they think they are calm easy family dogs, or a small breed dog because it will be easier to keep in their apartment, a staffy because it can be left in the yard alone all day happily, a poodle cross because it is easy and non-shedding dog for their child or a working breed because they think they are “active” not realising it is mental stimulation not physical exercise they need.
