If you are planning on adding a furry member to your family, choosing the right breed for your lifestyle is crucial. Each dog breed has specific characteristics that are passed along, and while training and bloodline can make a big difference, the breed of dog is the base of many behaviors.
Lifestyle details that make a difference on what dog breed is best for you include:
- Children in the household
- Age of people living in the household
- Yard size
- Home size
- Other pets in the household
- Frequency of people visiting
- Frequency of socialization outside of the house
- Dog park preferences
- Activity level
- Size
- Owner activity level
- Kenneling
- Time spent alone
- Purpose of bringing a dog into the family

While the list above is lengthy, things to be considered when selecting a breed of dog is not limited to this list, as there can be plenty more that will make a difference on what the best breed or breeds are for your lifestyle.
