The closest you can come to picking the perfect pooch is to pick one that’s best for you and your family.
You know what’s weird? Dog owners all believe their dog’s personality is distinct and unique. Even if they own two dogs of the same breed, perhaps even from the same litter, they’ll say each dog has a personality all his own. And they’ll be right. And yet many of those same people believe that dog personalities are determined by breed. They’ll say things like Golden Retrievers don’t bite,
or Pit Bulls are vicious.
And they’ll be wrong. A dog’s personality, like that of a child, is determined more by nurture
than nature.
Depending on how he’s raised, a Golden Retriever will bite and be vicious; a Pit Bull will be a gentle coward.
Dogs of a certain breed may indeed share some behavioral characteristics (e.g., most Labrador Retrievers enjoy swimming and are crazy about fetching a ball). There are exceptions to every rule, but knowing behavioral (as well as physical) characteristics will help you decide on a dog that will likely be a good fit for you and your lifestyle. We’ll cover that later in this report.
But looking beyond the breed characteristics and picking a dog based on his personality is a very important—yet often overlooked—step in finding a dog that’s best for you and your family.
Keep an open mind about what type of pooch to pick until after you’ve done your homework. You and your soon-to-be best friend will be much happier with the results.
First step: read the rest of this report!
Puppy or Adult?

Should you get a puppy or an adult dog? This is the first decision you need to make before picking a pup. Please give this some serious thought. If you do, your final decision may surprise you.
Most people don’t even think about the adult dog option—they just go out and get a puppy. They’re so cute! Adorable! Fun! The word puppy
makes most people feel warm and fuzzy inside.
But perhaps you should at least consider the benefits of an adult dog before making your decision:
The key to finding a good adult dog is to take plenty of time to evaluate his habits, behavior, and personality. Proper training can correct many bad habits and teach good ones (yes, you certainly can teach an old dog new tricks!); but not all behavioral problems can be overcome.
A puppy, on the other hand, is like a lump of clay waiting to be molded by you. You can raise him to be your ideal companion. This, of course, presumes you know how to train a dog properly and have the time—and the desire—to do so but because you’re reading this report and have subscribed to the Happy Mutt Training System, we know you’re one of those rare humans who realize what’s involved and is willing to go through it anyway—and that whatever pup you bring home is going to be one lucky, well-trained, well-adjusted dog!
Keep this in mind: An adorable puppy will become an adolescent dog within a few months; that adolescent will quickly become an adult dog that can
