Just pick the cutiest one or cheapiest.
Well if they are close by go and visit them. Even if they do live farther away take a few days off to visit them all.
It’s always good to go on personality. You should go and meet a few. Good luck finding your new friend!
get a breed in mind, or a breed that best suits you. Example: do you need a family dog? Do have have small kids? a dog for play? a toy bread? protection? Price?
Research the breeds more. find out what they were originally breed for.
then go in and meet the dog. To find out its personality. Dogs can be aggressive, dominant, abused, submissive, playful, etc. that’s the only way.
You should make sure that the breed you want is good for your life style. Or instead of trying to look over the Internet for a dog, go to your local shelter you might find a dog you’ll fall in love with.
Go and see the dogs. Look them over carefully for signs of disease and skin, eye, etc. problems. Ask to walk the dog on leash. Observe how the dog acts with you, a stranger. Find out why the dog is being given up (you may not get a truthful answer in some cases). Ask to see the vaccination records, spay or neuter certificate, registration papers or anything else they have, such as CERF, Penn-Hip or even microchip information. See if the dogs limp or seem to move “funny.” Check the teeth, do they meet well, are they clean? Sniff and look in the ears. Feel around for hernias.
If you find one that seems fine, ask if you can return the dog if your vet finds problems. If they agree, then take the dog to the vet before you go home, for an exam. Tell the vet you need to know if the dog is healthy and sound before you adopt it.
