No dogs underneath the Christmas tree

Many children wish for a puppy ,especially at Christmas .Some parents don't want to deny the request.However small puppies often become large dogs who claim a lot of time . Ever so often they are abandoned in shelters because that is the simplest solution .Please think about it carefully . Give your child something different and appropriated and consider whether you can afford a dog . Also give a dog from a shelter a chance before buying one from a breeder .A dog costs money and needs a lot of attention ,training ,but above all they deserve love  .Are these preconditions given is it an enrichment for you lives .
