Sooner or later, every parent is likely to hear: “Daddy, may I have that Sussex Spaniel puppy?”
Instead of avoiding the question, parents are advised to ponder if their clan is ready for a new puppy, especially a Sussex Spaniel, says Sharon Bergen, SVP of education and training for Knowledge Learning Corporation, the country’s leading provider of early childhood education and care.
While deciding “should you get the Sussex Spaniel” Bergen recommends that parents ascertain the plusses and minuses of adding the Sussex Spaniel to the household prior to giving in to a child’s request. “The Sussex Spaniel can teach kids about responsibility and become a great addition to the household-or it can become a hassle,” she says. Bergen advises you ponder the following before committing:
Questions to Consider Before Answering Should You Get The Sussex Spaniel Puppy
Who will be the one to care for the Sussex Spaniel? Families should agree beforehand who is to be in charge of feeding, bathing, walking and cleaning up after the Sussex Spaniel.
Is there space for the Sussex Spaniel, or does your landlord allow dogs? Families who live in apartments or townhouses may prefer a cat, a fish , or bird, rather than the Sussex Spaniel. Check with the library or online to discover more about Sussex Spaniels to determine if another breed may be more appropriate for the household.
Raising the Sussex Spaniel is time consuming and not cheap. Family members should understand that they may have to give up other activities to spend time with the Sussex Spaniel. If this prospect turns out to be too much of a committment, you should consider waiting until the child is responsible enough to help care for the Sussex Spaniel.

Bergen recommends the entire household meet the Sussex Spaniel prior to agreeing to take it home. Getting the Sussex Spaniel is a long-term commitment, so think carefully before getting one.
