Granted, playful and cute puppies can really tug at your heart strings and urge you to make an impulsive and expensive decision regarding this very important addition to your family, but without proper thought and research into the type of breed you are purchasing, your family and your cute, adorable puppy could be in for a long road of pain and frustration ahead.当然，调皮，可爱的小狗可拔河真的在你的心串并敦促你冲动作出的决定和昂贵的关于这一非常重要的除了你的家人，但没有适当的思考和研究型的品种你是采购，您的家人和你的可爱，可爱的小狗可以在一个很长的路的痛苦和挫折挑战。

Purebred puppy breeds have inherent characteristics that are particular to their breed, and these characteristics usually get more pronounced with age.纯种的小狗品种固有特征，特别是其繁殖，而这些特征通常会更加明显与年龄。 While different breed characteristics will be appropriate for different families, matching the wrong breed with the wrong family can have devastating consequences.虽然不同品种的特点将是适合于不同的家庭，匹配错误的滋生与错误的家庭可以造成灾难性的后果。

It has been estimated that the number one reason why competent pet owners relinquish ownership of their puppy or puppies to one of the many county humane services to be found all across the country is because they have become frustrated with certain characteristics of the dog.据估计，数目的原因之一主管宠物主人放弃所有权的狗或小狗之一，许多县人道服务，要找到全国各地，是因为它们已成为沮丧的某些特征的狗。

No matter whether the problem is big, such as aggression to children or other pets, or small, such as a tendency to chew everything in sight, as the puppy grows and its cuteness wears off, the frustration experienced from having a poorly matched puppy will increase.无论问题是大，如侵略子女或其他宠物，还是小国，如一种倾向，咀嚼一切看到的，因为小狗的成长和其小鸡的可爱消退，经历的挫折有一个很差的小狗将匹配增加。 And the consequences can be heart wrenching for the both the family and the dog.和后果可能是心脏病的痛苦的家庭和狗。
