The Best Dog Breeds For Families In Montana

Finding the Perfect Dog Breed for Your Montana Lifestyle

I'll admit it, I'm a dog person. Nothing against cats, but there's just something about petting the outside of a dog that makes the inside of a person feel good.

With hundreds of different breeds to choose from, which one is right for you and your Montana family?

The Top Factors to Consider Before Bringing Home a Dog

That's a tough question to answer because there are lots of variables that go into picking out a dog. Are you an active family? Do you live in an apartment or have a house with a big backyard?

You also should consider the age of children in your home. Some dogs do better with little ones, while others would be best suited for families with older children in the home. You might realize that getting a puppy just won't work for your family and you need to look into getting an older dog.

Why Shelter Dogs Might Be the Best Fit for Your Family

If you are unsure of what type of dog you would want or need, look into adopting a shelter dog. The shelter would be able to direct you towards a dog that fits your lifestyle and living arrangements. Plus, you are giving those dogs a second chance at a happy home.

There is also the added bonus that an older shelter dog is usually potty trained and will have some of their vaccinations as well. That can help you save money to spoil them with treats and toys.

No matter what type of dog you bring into your home, your life will be fuller with them in it.
