Identifying The Best Dog Breed For Your Situation
The Profile of a Wannabe Dog Breed
Some dog lovers spend a great deal of time choosing the right
dog breed before they decide to purchase a dog. For them, the
dog's breed is one contributing factor to its value. That is why
most families who decide to get a dog, they know that choosing
the right breed is crucial.
Today, there are 70 million dogs in the United States but the
American Kennel Club only recognizes 143 breeds of dogs. Still,
with these numbers, choosing the right kind of dog breed for the
family can be very tedious.
However, most pet shop owners contend that the reasons why the
preference of the people in choosing their dogs may vary from
one person to another is because each person has its own
pre-conceived idea what he wants in a dog. It all depends on the
physical attributes.
There are those who fancy the size, the shape of the face, the
looks, or even the temper. But whatever preference an individual
has regarding his choice for dogs, there are important factors
that you must remember in choosing a particular dog breed.
Here's a list of the things that must be considered first:
1. The size of the house
Many people tend to forget this factor. The area of the house
should be the primary factor to consider before buying the best
dog breed available.
For example, if a future dog owner is living in an
apartment,
there's no sense is buying a large dog. Obviously, it's better
to opt for those cute little canines that don't need too much
space to raise them.
2. The children
If a future dog owner has children, it's best to consider the
children rather than his own preference. Delicate dogs like
Chihuahua are not advisable because they are too frail to let
the children take care of them. Big dogs like Saint Bernard
could also pose some risk on the children. The bottom line is to
choose a breed of dog depending on the age of the children and
how many there are in the house.
3. The nature of the job
For people who would love to have a dog but don't have time to
devote to grooming, consider a dog that doesn't need a great
deal of grooming like Terriers. Most Terriers have short hair
and they don't need a lot of fuss on their hair.
Boiled down, the best dog breed is the one that fits the kind of
life the future owner has. Compatibility is the key in this kind
of situation.
