Eventually, every parent is going to hear: “Please, may I have that Artois Hound puppy?”
Rather than ignore the question, parents should think about if the clan is ready for a new dog, and even moreso a Artois Hound, says Sharon Bergen, SVP of education and training for Knowledge Learning Corporation, the nation’s foremost provider of early childhood education.
When deciding “should we get the Artois Hound” Bergen advises parents weigh the pros and cons of bringing the Artois Hound to the family before agreeing to a child’s request. “The Artois Hound can teach kids responsibility and become a wonderful addition to your household-or it can be a regret,” she has said. Bergen suggests families consider the following before deciding:
Things to Ask Yourself Before Answering Should You Get The Artois Hound Puppy
Who will be the one to care for the Artois Hound? Households must agree in advance who will be responsible for bathing, feeding, walking and picking up after the Artois Hound.
Is there room for the Artois Hound, and does your landlord allow dogs? Families who live in townhouses or apartments may prefer a cat, a fish , or bird, rather than the Artois Hound. Check your library or online to find out more about Artois Hounds to determine if another breed may be more suitable for your family.
Rearing the Artois Hound is time consuming and not cheap. Your family must realize that they are required to forego other activities to properly care for the Artois Hound. If the requirement turns out to be too much of a committment, you might suggest postponing until the child is old enough to help care for the Artois Hound.
Conclusion: Should You Get A Artois Hound
Bergen suggests the whole household meet the Artois Hound before deciding to take it home. Getting the Artois Hound is a huge commitment, so think carefully before getting one.
