# First of all, research breeds. What kind of dog will suit you best? Certain dogs need more attention, exercise, or care than others. Consider your options, and decide what kind of puppy you could take care of. If you have children, get a dog that is known for being great with them, such as a labrador retriever. Once you have narrowed down your breeds, find specific puppies and spend some time with them, if your breeder or shelter allows it. Most do, and playing around with the puppy can give you a good idea of what kind of personality it has. Finally, after careful consideration, adopt your puppy. Most puppies will need to take some medication starting off, such as pain relievers if they have recently been spayed or neutered. Always know the health issues with your dog. This is very important.

# Go to your pet store, such as Petco. You could even take your dog with to these pet stores. Find high-quality items that will last, as all of the following are going to be used consistently every day.- Collar. Consider getting name tags or bells in case they run off. - Leash.- Crate. This is where they will sleep. Don't get a dog bed yet, as you need to potty train them before. This is because they could ruin it if they have an accident in the middle of the night. In the mean time, use old towels or blankets and give them an adequate cushion.- Bowls. One for food, one for water. - Puppy food. Decide on a single brand. Don't switch brands when you buy new food, this can make your puppy sick.- Toys. Get 3 or 4 puppy toys that will help with teething. -
