Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Choosing a Puppy Thats Right for Your Situation and Naming Your Puppy

Copyright (c) 2010 Dean Severidt

Selecting the right dog for your home is highly
important.

Will the dog hit it off with children? Will the
dog hit it off with other animals in the
household? Does the dog have a good disposition?
These are a few of the questions you may ask when
deciding what form of dog you need. Are you
looking out for a thoroughbred or mixed breed or
simply a plan old mutt? Mixed breeds can be more
cheap, while thoroughbred can be quite dear.
Don't dismiss the mutt option either from the
local pound. Mutts can be just as adorable,
dynamic, and dependable as the other breeds. Size
matters. Think how small or big the dog is that
you would like. Have you got room for the puppy
to run and play or will it be shut up as you
don't go outside a lot. If that is so have you
got a room where the puppy can run free?
Character for a pup develops around 7 weeks of
age. Spend a bit of time picking and selecting
your dog, and you both will harvest the rewards.
Make sure you can hold the dog and hug him. Drop
a book in a quiet moment and see whether the
puppy runs and hides. Get on your hands and knees
and play with the dog to work out if he replies
in kind or is assertive toward you. There are a
few places to begin your search. Asking mates or
your vet are good places to start. Also, you can
contact your local shelter or ASPCA for their
choice of animals. After you make a decision to
get your little dog you get to name this new
small puppydog you have just brought home. You
are under much pressure to come up with a name
that's not too cute, not so frilly, and something
which will fit the animal's character. Oh the
pressure of a name. You might go with a classic
like Fido or Fifi.

These names never go out of fashion unless you
have children who wish to have a hip name.

You may also use you fave megastar or country
frontman, legendary figures, presidents, and
family members. The sky's the limit. Some ideas
for selecting a name : * you'll be calling him
for the following fifteen year by this name. So
pick something that you really like. * Typically
1 to 3 syllables is good for a name. It can get
clumsy to call out a long name each and every
time. There are dogs though that have 3 names
just like a kid. Keep it simplistic and not so
complicated.

* Always use the puppy's name when you talk to
him or praise him. When he hears it next, he is
going to come running as he knows that it's his
special word. Don't name the young dog something
which will embarrass you or others when you have
to call him in public.

Take time to play with the puppy and get to know
him before choosing a moniker for the pup. You
may name her and find out later that it doesn't
fit. Give it a few days to a week and see what
you think then. Ask for advice from family and
friends. Have a Name The Puppy party and give a
prize to the person whose name you chose. There
are all kinds of names out there. Just find one
that fits your dog and makes you happy.
