Welcome to the wonderful world of dogs!

puppies dont nessarily have to have wet food and dry food mixed first. I would say iams or science diet are the best food brands. gender depends on what you want, bot are about the same so pick what you would prefer. it depends how old the puppy is as to what shots will be needed. usually they need vaccinated against certain illnesses around 12 and 16 weeks, and 8 weeks, but the breeder should have had that taken care of. ithink mixes are best, I have 2 purebred labs and I will have a purebred pug in 3 weeks, andi used to have a purebred dashhound, so I’ve never actually had a mix, but I know that they are supposed to be the best. choose type based on where you live, like if you are in an apartment, dont get a dog that needs tons of excercise. choose a dog based on your own activity level as well. dashhounds, for example, have fragile backs, so if you are extrmemly active and want to rough play with your puppy, a dashhound probably isnt for you. also base it off of any other pets you have, (cats, etc.) choose a dog who’s tempremnt is suppoed to be better with cats, which can be any dog if trained correctly and from a young age. you should try a rescue dog, as they are very much in need of homes. try www.petfinder.com, I found my soon-to-be pug on there, its great and you can specify gender, location, size, and breed, so youll only get dogs you are interested in. plus, those dogs are much more needy than dogs from a breeder. my dogs were just as energetic after spaying and neutering as they were before. training depends on the dog, just google training and then the name of the breed (or most outlying breed if a mix). it should give you tons of sites with great training tips.

well I sugest always give them dry food because trust me wet food can cause a big mess and cood make them sick! just by dry puppy food…as for the breed ..it depends on YOUR lifestyle because if you get a super hyper dog you want to make sure you can take it on a lot of walks and stuff like that…if its a male dog get it fixed as soon as possible because trust me its a pain if there not fixed…if its a girl get it fixed to because honestly dogs can b REALLY annoyin when there in heat lol ..I have 4 dogs and nun of them are fixed (all males..u dont want to noe wut thats like) so I woodnt noe if there less energetic when they get fixed..hope I cood help!

well if you are looking for a small dog then I would go with a beagle daschund. [mini]
