We Need To Think About Size And Type

Very cute little puppies and kittens grow up and unless we choose carefully we might end up with a pet that doesn't suit the family. A cute little puppy living in a home with no garden might be all right but if it grows into a very large dog it could cause a big problem.

By asking to see the parents of the pet you may get a better idea of what your cute little ball of fluff will look like when it grows up. If the mother and father are very big then the pup will be too!
