Nowadays, raising dogs is actually time-consuming, laborious and expensive, so when we decide to raise dogs, we must first check whether we have the conditions to raise dogs? Understand some of the characteristics of dogs, be interested in dogs, and want to raise dogs. But not everyone can raise it. Dogs are not toys or electrical appliances. They are as alive as us, and they have everything they need every day to "eat, drink, poop, let loose, and sleep." Therefore, when you want to raise a dog, you should carefully consider whether you meet the following conditions:

1. Do you naturally like dogs?

Some people are born with a love for dogs, which is the most important condition for raising a dog. As long as such a person sees a dog, his heart will speed up, his blood will boil, his heart will be full of joy, and he will even scream without emotion, and he can't help but want to hold, touch, and play with it. No matter whether it is a purebred or a hybrid, no matter whether it is big or small, whether it is raised by others or wandering outside, I like them all, and I really want to take one home and take care of it. If you have the impulse of "love at first sight", such people can join the ranks of "dog lovers".

2. Are the family and surrounding environment acceptable?

Having a large enough yard or indoor space is great for dogs. With a large space for activities, the dog can exercise enough and can even enjoy the sunshine and breeze. Not only will its limbs and skeleton be well developed, its muscles will be strong, its work and rest time will be normal, its psychology will be relatively mature, and its behavior will be relatively stable. Such dogs are easy to train, obedient, and will not bark randomly and harass the neighbors. If you live in a cool mountain, you can consider Chibi, Husky, Rottweiler, Chow Chow, etc., which are more afraid of heat and are native to cold and temperate zones.

If you live in an apartment and have a larger dog, make sure you take them out for walks on time. A small, playful dog can probably live happily in a small space in an apartment as long as it has an owner who loves it. Firstly, its bright and snow-white fur is not easy to get dirty and easy to groom; secondly, it is not easy to be infected with external parasites without leaving home.

The pace of life of modern people is mostly tight. If you are studying, you have to rush to school early in the morning and have to do homework after school; if you are newly employed after graduation, you have to rush to work in the morning, work overtime in the evening or even at night, squeeze in the car all the way back from get off work, and add in necessary social activities, the rest is You don’t have much time; or you have just started a family and are busy with babies, young children, and housework. You often fall asleep on the bed... You have to consider whether you still have time and energy to take care of your puppy? Dogs are just like children, you Are you sure you can spare time to take care of it for eating, sleeping, bathing, exercising? Grooming its fur, taking it to the doctor on time, getting vaccinations, etc.? If your answer is "yes"”, then you can keep a dog.

4. Is the financial ability allowed?

Purebred dogs have to be bought at a high price. If you are lucky enough, your relatives and friends will give them to you, or you will pick them up on the roadside, so you don’t have to spend money to buy them. It is necessary to deworm and vaccinate on time, to feed the dog food and nutritional supplements, and to groom the fur and bathing supplies as necessary. When you are hospitalized, there is no "publicly funded medical care". Even if the dog urinates outside freely or does not clean up after urinating, the management department will issue a ticket... All kinds of expenses will add up to a considerable sum. If these don't scare you, you can afford it, and your financial conditions for raising it are satisfied.

Can you bear the heartbreaking pain of separation and death? If you nod, there is only the last hurdle left.
