Help to choose one dog

Balloon

Hi I am new for raising dog and I plan to buy one  recently, and I beg some advices from you Thanks

1. Male or female which one is easy to look after
2. I want one which is cute and handsome one, not like someone is lovely style. I only know gold retriever which is cute, any others?
3. I want one with medium size, not too small.

So can you give me some suggestion which dog should I choose? Thanks

公狗和母狗其實都差不多，如果你選擇desex就更沒有分別了。我家的女狗狗非常sweet，脾氣比家裡2隻公狗更好，但是有些female也是很霸道很dominant，所以個性跟性別應該沒有很大的關係。
各花入各眼，每個人的審美觀不一樣，別人覺得可愛的，你不見得也會這麼認為，如果你還不確定想養什麼狗，可以去做breed selector的測試，看看你比較適合養哪些狗，再從裏面選你喜歡的。

養狗前要做很多的功課，也要確認這是一個十幾年的責任，養了就要不離不棄不後悔。

Golden Retriever是Hip Dysplasia的高危險群狗狗之一，HD幾乎都是遺傳的，只有非常少數的狗狗是後天的因素得到這個病，在繁值前帶breeding stock去做x-ray，
測出狗爸爸狗媽媽的hip score，如果兩個都有很低的hip score，他們的後代得到HD的機率也很小，好的breeder絕對不會省略掉這個很必要的檢查。
pups4sale雖然也有一些registered breeder會登廣告，但是大部份的廣告看起來都是backyard breeder or puppy mill，與其還要先確認賣家是不是reputable
registered breeder，還不如直接去http://www.dogzonline.com.au/bre ... olden-retriever.asp找，記得要問狗爸狗媽的hip score。

是的，拉拉也是同样问题，所以好的breeder非常重要。

One question - are you really ready to have a dog? Can you spend at least 2-3 hours a day with your dog, walking, preparing food, take care of him when he gets sick, non-stop cleaning when going through toilet training etc etc etc?

If you are fully committed, I suggest you find a registered breeder for the breeder. Please do not buy from any pet shop, by doing so you are encouraging puppy farms. If possible, see if you can adopt one from RSPCA. Some many dogs need help in their.

Thanks
