In this episode I talk about the actual size of the dog you may have an interest in getting. Some people fall for a particular breed but unless they have been around that breed in reality they may not realize how large or small that breed really is. Is the size of the dog compatible with your house, lifestyle and family. Assessing size is a really important aspect of getting a dog. You may want a drooling Mastiff but you might only have room for a toy poodle. The comfort and lifestyle requirements of a dog will outweigh you wants. Remember open heart, open mind.
