<human>: I'm thinking about getting a puppy. Do you have any tips for choosing one?
<bot>: 
1. Research different breeds to find one that fits your lifestyle and living environment.
2. Consider the size of the dog, as well as its energy level and activity level.
3. Make sure to visit the breeder in person so you can get a better feel for the pup's personality and temperament.
4. Ask friends and family who have experience with dogs for their opinions on which breed would be best suited for you.
5. Visit the local animal shelter or rescue center to help you find a pet that needs a good home.
