Picking-Out the Perfect Dog Breed
By James Johnson
Here are some important thoughts and/or questions you should have in your
mind before you go out & bring home your new dog, first off I will pull no
punches in this regard of owning a new dog. It is a lot of work at first; here is
an example, every time the new pup wakes up from a nap he or she will need
to go pee and off you go outside. This new dog will be with you for the next
10 to 15 years at least. Also, this new dog can and will be a loyal, faithful and
devoted companion. Bringing a dog into your home is an important step for
you and/or your family. There are many breeds to choose from, how do you
manage to make a decision on which one breed is best suited for you? With
a little thought, you can nail down the selections & find the best-suited dog
breed by following a few simple steps.
Foremost, how much space do you have. Many people tend to forget this
factor. Ask yourself how much space do you have in your home. It should be
the primary factor to consider before picking the dog breed. If you and/or
your family live in a tiny apartment, you will want to refrain from getting a large
dog. Look for dogs in the Toy group, such as Yorkshire Terriers, or Some of
the smaller dogs in the Terrier group, like the Miniature Schnauzer.
With that said, if you have children, you have to think about the size of the
dog, as well. Very small dogs, such as Chihuahuas or Maltese, can be very
frail & are occasionally accidentally injured by very tiny children. But then,
very prominent dogs, such as Boxers or the Saint Bernard, can be overly
rumbustious as puppies & can inadvertently turn your infant into a human
bowling pin. Consider average sized breeds, such as Fox Terriers or Lhasa
Apsos, as an alternative. It's best to consider the children rather than your
own preference.
The next thing is, can you give your new dog any exercise. If you have a
residence with a fenced yard, your domestic dog will be able to get some
physical exercise on his own. But, dog breeds in the Sporting, Hound, &
Herding groupings are very high-energy animals & you will need to have
enough time to provide them with more intensive physical exercise. Plan to
take a great deal of long strolls with your new hound or go for a day-after-day
romp in the park. Let's think about it, these new dog breeds were bred to
work hard and don't do well unless they have a job to do or a way to burn off
excess energy.
Finally, don't forget to look at grooming demands. Some domestic dog
breeds only need a little more than a half hour or so of grooming a week,
while others call for to be groomed for around a little more than an hour a
day. So let's think about it, if you are short on time, don't buy a Poodle or a
Maltese, unless, of course, you plan to take your new hound for a groom.
Breeds like Boston Terriers or Whippets are fine choices for busy people
who don't have time to do a lot of grooming. Boiled down, the best dog
breed is the one that fits the kind of life the future owner has.
Lastly, Most people choose their dog breed because each person has their
own pre-conceived idea of what he or she wants in a dog. Sometimes its just
the physical attributes of the dog, like the size, the shape of the face and/or
the overall looks. Do yourself a favor and do not forget the above simple
steps.
After you make up your mind on which breed of new puppy you want, you will
need to consider the age of the new puppy. Many individuals opt to buy a
cuddly little puppy instead of an older new hound. While puppies have not
acquired any bad habits, it will be up to the new owner to be sure that the
puppy becomes housebroken and obedience trained.
Whilst you've specified the breed options and have determined which new
dog is right for you, don't get too relaxed. After all, you still have a single
more important choice to make, what to name your new puppy!
