America's most popular mid-size dog breed
When it comes to choosing the appropriate dog for you and your family, there are a number of aspects to consider.
If you live in a studio apartment in New York City, for example, getting a pointer that thrives in a lot of space and activity is generally not a good idea.
If you have young children, getting a shar-pei may not be a good idea, since it will require some tact in how you deal with them.
If you reside in Florida, where the weather is generally hot and humid, you should probably avoid a bulldog.
