Getting a dog

Content page
Getting a dog means that you make a commitment to a new family member that may last for up to 10 to 15 years. Careful consideration and familiarisation with the issues involved are required before getting a dog. A dog should never be taken on the spur of the moment. If you do your groundwork diligently, a dog can become a long-term loyal companion that will bring you joy for many years.
