When looking for the best dog breed, keep in mind that you don’t always have to buy a pure breed. Many experts say seniors should go for mixed breeds at the shelter instead. When dogs are brought to the shelter, they undergo an assessment so that rescuers will know what type of care they need and what they can expect of their personalities. This is also done so that they can match the owners and dogs perfectly when they rehome them. You won’t need to give basic training on the puppies by yourself!
