How often do you have other visitors to your home, human or animal, with which a new dog will have to interact?
Many dogs are shy of strangers at first, but warm up if given the opportunity to approach a stranger in their own time and on their own terms. Are you willing to be patient with a dog who is a little reluctant to meet new people right away?
If you do have frequent visitors to your home, how will you separate your dog from the visitors if he/she becomes frightened or agitated?
