Why is it important to make an educated decision on getting a dog?
Too many times, humans seek the companionship of canines to only find out that it is a lot of work, frustration and at times scary. To avoid these hardships, humans need to become knowledgeable about the specific breeds that are compatible with their lifestyles or be willing to change their lifestyle to meet the needs of the breed they intend to acquire. By doing so, it is the hopes that the humans will ensure that both human and canine inherent needs are met and avoid any potential unwanted behaviour by the canine.
Why is it important to know the breeds of a canine?
It is important to know the breed mixture of a specific canine to be able to identify the behaviours exhibited as actual behaviours or traits/tendencies. This helps better understand the canine and its specific needs as well as to establish the training needed to stop any unwanted behaviours that are being exhibited.
Why is it NOT SAFE to approaching unfamiliar dogs?
It cannot be said enough. No matter if you are a dog lover or not, you should never ever ever pet a dog you are not familiar with. You should always consult the handler.

If it is a pet, then you may get their approval. Even with the approval, care must be taken as some dogs have a defensive bite habit. Let the dog sniff you first, do not pet on top of its head until it is comfortable with you. Dogs that have been abused are very defensive around their head areas and this defensiveness can have little warning.
