Dog Breed Consulting Service
I can help you choose the right dog breed for your family.
- Fill out my questionnaire, which includes 38 questions about the characteristics you're looking for in a dog. These are open-ended questions, so you can write as much as you want.
- I will read and evaluate your questionnaire personally and write a detailed Dog Breed Consulting Report with my recommendations of which breeds I think are the best matches for you -- and why.
This is not a simple "list" of breeds generated by a computer program -- I write this report personally and I'll tell you why these breeds are a good match for you. If you're already considering some breeds, I'll tell you whether or not they seem like good matches for you, and why.
You can trust my expertise
I've been training dogs and teaching people how to choose, buy, raise, and train their dogs for over 35 years.
I'm the author of 17 books on choosing and caring for dogs, cats, and pet birds.
My advice on raising and training dogs has been featured in newspaper columns and on television.
And I've written every word of this 1250+ page web site.

Choosing the right dog breed is so important!
As an obedience instructor and canine behavioral consultant, I must caution you that a major cause of problems between an owner and his dog is that the dog doesn't suit the owner -- or the owner doesn't suit the dog.
If you choose a breed for the wrong reasons.... because you like its shape, or its fluffy coat, or its angelic face, or because there happens to be a litter handy, or because your Uncle Bob had one "who could practically talk"...
In a few months, you may discover, to your dismay, that you have started a 10- to 15-year relationship with an incompatible breed. Then you and your dog will end up in a discouraging battle as you struggle to change his natural characteristics to ones that you would prefer. Usually you don't win this battle -- and it's definitely no fun.
Even if you already have an idea of which breed you might want...
Are you sure you've made the right choice? You might be missing something!
I've been helping people choose dogs for over 30 years. I know the questions to ask that reveal the kind of dog that's best suited to your family and lifestyle. And I can tell you about uncommon dog breeds that you may not have considered.
There's a lot of hidden information about dog breeds. I know the pros AND cons of all the breeds and I'm honest about them. I will tell you whether the breeds you're considering are good choices for you -- or not. Won't you feel better knowing that your choice has been double-checked by an expert?

Order my Breed Consulting Service and you'll get a FREE copy of
HEALTH PROFILES FOR 165 DOG BREEDS.
Before you buy a dog, you need to know which health problems are most common in that breed, because...
