Meet the Breeds™ 2010 3 www.meetthebreeds.com What Kind of DOG Is Right for Me? eciding what kind of dog to get is as important as deciding whether to Dget a dog in the first place. The AKC recognizes over 160 different breeds of dog, and each of these breeds has its own unique temperament, appearance, activity level, and set of needs.

You should do some serious and careful re - search to determine which breed of dog is right for you and your family. And you can start here at Meet the Breed s™! This event is the perfect place to spend the day interacting with breed experts who can answer all of your questions about finding the right dog for your lifestyle. Here some factors to consider:

Temperament You’re going to be living with this dog for a long time, so you need to make sure he has a personal - ity you can live with. Do you want a dog that is ac - tive, or subdued? A dog that is easily trained, or strong-willed? A dog that is friendly to everyone he meets, or one that is loyal to family but aloof to - ward strangers? A dog that needs a lot of atten - tion from family members, and lots of activity to prevent him from becoming bored and destruc - tive, or a dog that is content to be left alone for pe - cute puppy will become before you bring him riods of time during home.
