Ten Questions to ask yourself
before getting a Great Dane puppy:
1.)
What type of dog do you really want?
2.)
Are you looking for a dog
that will only bark when it is necessary?
3.)
What is the reason you are getting the
dog?
4.)
Are you looking for protection, a companion, a hunting dog? Or are you
looking for one you can put on your lap and hug and cuddle?
5.)
Are you willing to put up with all the hair that is constantly going to
be all over your couches, floor, and furniture?
6.)
Are you willing to fork out the price of the grooming at least once a
month?
7.)
Is your house or living space an appropriate place for a giant dog?
8.)
Do you live in the city or the country? This is a very important factor
to keep in mind before getting a dog. There are some big breeds that can
have neurosis problems if they do not have the adequate amount of space.
9.)
What kind of personality do you have? Are you a strong tempered person?
Dogs should not be yelled at, and they are not made to let your temper
out on. If you choose a dominating dog, your strong character might be
confronted by your dominating dog, and you could have problems. Not all
dogs are submissive.
10.)
Are you under the impression that a dog stays as clean as his owner?
These are just a few
questions you should consider when thinking about getting a dog. Another
very important factor is to never get a puppy or dog as an
"entertainment toy" for a child. There are probably many other questions
one could ask himself before getting a puppy, but they are not playing
matter, and they should be deeply considered.
