"Where do I go from here? So you've decided that you have made a commitment to buy your first or following dogs. Once the decision has been made to buy a dog, my recommendation is that a few things should be addressed. Number one, having a solid veterinarian that will help you with your dog. Number two, finding commitment with your entire family or housing unit to make sure everybody is on board with the new dog purchase. Number three, having all of your neighbors, friends and family aware of your dog purchase and how this is going to affect your lifestyle. Like I've mentioned from previous, previous segments, owning a dog is a full time commitment, so your lifestyle and personal time will be effected. Other decisions and where do I go from here will included, do I buy a dog from a breeder, adopt? As well as where do I buy all the supplies that I need? This I will address in upcoming segments. "
