Thinking of getting a dog? If so, you've come to the right place. It is extremely important to invest some time up front to find the right dog for you. Because a perfect dog for someone else might just be a disaster for you. Everyone has different needs and preferences when it comes to finding the right dog. There is a reason there are hundreds of different dog breeds out there. Unfortunately, for that very same reason, many dogs are given up by their families once they find out the dog isn't a good fit for them.
We have built a large searchable database filled with information about each breed. Please try our powerful
search system by answering the survey questions to see a list of breeds that might work for you. Or, if you already have one or several breeds in mind and would like to learn more about them, you can use our
alphabetical list of breeds to go directly to each breed's page. We have also included several photos of each breed (when available) to help you decide. As long as they have the right temperament for you, there's nothing wrong with using their looks as the final deciding factor between several breeds. In fact, we firmly believe that that's an important factor in ensuring a strong and life-long bond between you and your new best friend. There is really no need to adopt an ugly dog out of pity only to end up subconciously avoiding the dog and condemning it to a miserable life, because as they say, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder," and that dog that looks ugly to you might just be irresistably cute to another person.
