Dogs are supposed to be walked everyday. They are a big responsibility and require a lot of time and effort.
1. NEVER buy a PUPPY younger then 8WEEK old!
They need to remain with the litter until that age to develope proper behavioural and socialiation skills
2. NEVER BUY A PUPPY just LOOKS, colour, looks, fur type alone-NO INDICATION OF DOGS TEMPERMENT!
3. Consider your lifestyle
4. Are you out more then 8hours a day
5. Consider your energy requirements, Size, Grooming.
6. Don't just buy because someone says this is the dog for you, people particular on yahoo answer will give you there particular favourite breed& what suits them, not what actually suit you.
7. Read all you can-THERE are alot of false information on the web and in books about different dog breed.
8. DON'T TRUST THOSE DOG BREED SELECTORS-MOST OF THE RESULTS ARE INCORRECT. Ex i search large breed dogs, and the Pomeranian came up, which of cause is a toy dog breed!!
9. NEVER BUY A TOY/SMALL BREED DOG FOR CHILDREN UNDER 8YRS OLD, However, toy/small breeds are best suited to children 10yr+, Most shelters will only rehome toy/small breed if the children are 10yrs+, Also toy/small breeds are extremely fragile and children cannot help being clumsy, remember a toy/small breed dog could be injured or killed by accidently dropping them on the patio, also they can be killed by jumping from the couch, etc.
10. Never BUY A DOG, CAT, BIRD OR RABBIT OR GUINEA PIG AS CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY, NEW YEAR'S DAY OR ANY SPECIAL DAY, AS MANY PEOPLE JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME, PATIENCE TO TRAIN OR LOOK AFTER A PET, ALSO MANY PEOPLE RENTING, LANDLORD'S DON'T ALLOW PETS.
11. NEVER BUY FROM A PETSTORE, BACKYARD BREEDER, PUPPY MILL OR NEWSPAPER, DON'T BUY FROM NEXT DAY PETS OR DOG BREED INFO, RESCUE AN ADULT DOG OR SHELTER PUPPY!
12. Are you willing to give up holidays to care and train and socialize your pup until its old enough to stay home around 1yr old on its own, with someone coming by to check on it, feed and water and walk it and play with it?
Number 1 Toy/small breeds are NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 8 YRS! ACTUALLY RECOMMEND FOR CHILDREN 10YR OLD.
EVEN TOY/SMALL DOGS NEED DAILY WALKS! SMALL DOGS DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN BE WALKED 2 DAYS A WEEK!
Choosing an adult rescue over a puppy does not guarantee you will never have any problems with a new pet, it just increases the probability that you won't. Of course, with any new pet, there is an adjustment period while the dog learns what you expect of it. The difference is that an adult dog, specially chosen for various traits compatible with you and your home situation, are not having to learn as much as a growing puppy, so they usually fit into their new families very quickly. For most of us, an adult dog is much more suited to our needs than a puppy.
Cute as they are, puppies are a tremendous responsibility and, with the busy schedules that most of us have, impossible to housebreak completely, socialize well, and train adequately. If you are not able or willing to do what is necessary to raise a puppy correctly, you may end up wanting to surrender a dog yourself!
Adopting an adult rescue can be the best decision, and addition to your family, that you ever make. Rescue a dog and get a devoted friend for life! Go ahead, do a "GOOD DEED," adopt a dog in need of a home. Give a dog a chance it otherwise would not have. But, beyond doing a "good deed", do yourself a favor and adopt an adult dog.

Sorry!
Please visit your local shelter, volenteer there, learn about aniamls and their care. Talk to family and freinds with dogs. Offer to pet sit, see what it takes to be a responsible dog owner. Ask alot of people, alot of questions.
You would be taking on a 15+ year commitment, 24/7, 365 days a year. Dog owners do not get hiolidays, sick days, or 'snow days' off. The cost of food, vet appointments, etc can be in the hundreds.
Please do your research...
Dogs aren't shelf animals that you can put away when you don't have time for them.
Two walks a week will end you with a neurotic dog. IF you dictate color, size, sex, etc you're too immature to take on the responsibility.
Its one thing to have an IDEA of a dog, but its a completely different thing to have a set mold picked out. Dogs aren't accessories to match your every mood and outfit.
If you are under 18, it depends on if your parents are ready for the finances of caring for the dog, and if your parents are ready to take over the care of the dog if you grow tired of the dog, or when you move out or on to college.
If you are over 18, its a matter of you being able to AFFORD a dog, as well as have the time to dedicate to a dog's care.
Adopt from your local shelter or rescue... that's the only way you will find a dog for that price.. any breeder selling one that cheaply is selling unhealthy dogs.
