Tid bits of information I myself have learnt over the years. I'm not trying to say I know what is best and I am a vet. So please take these bits as just me saying how I see it and from years of having dogs and wanting to learn from them.
Temperament is set into our pups from how we raise them right from birth. Our pups are all very well adjusted to following our lead and have wonderful temperaments. Our pups tend to be fast learners because they are all submissive and for that reason are people pleasers. Knowing they are not top dog makes them willing to take commands from you. If you do not have boundries and spoil your pup you could be ask them in their minds to take the lead. Dogs are pack animals and in their minds there must be a leader. When you allow your dog to become the leader then you are creating a problem dog.
Dogs can actually have too much of a good thing. Dogs who love the beach or playing with the sprinkler could end up with water intoxication. Water toxication will have your dog acting like he/she is drunk. The electrolytes in your dog becomes delutied which can cause water poisoning, this can become fatal....however rare. If you are going to the beach and you have a dog that loves lapping up the water or dives for rocks in the water with their mouths open then becareful. If you find your dog is drinking too much water at a time then ask you vet what is too much water.
Always ask your vet how much water your dog needs. I just want to warn families and ask that they get the information direct from their vet. If at anytime you think your dog has drank way too much water and isn't acting right then get them to a vet right away.
Pups or dogs can accidently hang themselves by their collar! If your pup/dog climbs over fences their collars can sometimes get caught up and potentially kill your pet. Be cautious of climbers! Want something on your pet with its information if it becomes lost then go with a harness but always watch your dog/pup when outside playing.
Micro chips can migrate....Micro chips are placed between the shoulder blades and have been known to not always stay in place. I myself like the old fashion ear tattoo, those don't go any where!
I do not do the micro chips on our pups or the ear tattoos. I would rather this be done at the pups spay or neuter so they don't have to feel the pain.
