Latest News

Every dog has his day-choosing the right breed for you

Once you have decided to bring a dog into your life, choosing the breed is the most important decision you will make. To make the right call, you need to examine your lifestyle, your reasons for wanting a dog, and your expectations from him.

Let's start with lifestyle:.

Ask yourself how much time you will have available to walk and care for your dog.  A general rule of thumb is that the larger the dog, the more active care he will require. While it is true that dog walkers and groomers are just a phone call away, most dog owners will want to make dog care part of the bonding experience

Do you own a yard? If so, how big is it?  Again, the bigger the dog, the more space he will want to call his own.

Are allergies an issue? Then, you will want to stick to a breed that doesn't shed.

Do you have children? Are they young enough that you should factor the gentleness of the breed into the equation? On this point, size is not always the most telling point. Some larger breeds, like Labradors and retrievers , are renown for being great with kids. In fact, one of the biggest dogs of all, the Newfoundland, is one of the best in this category. Conversely, some smaller breeds are quite territorial. Don't hesitate to ask questions when evaluating a dog. Ideally, meeting the parents of the puppy will tell you a lot about his disposition.

Is having a purebred important to you, or would you be just as happy with a mixed breed? Purebreds, with papers, come from registered breeders...but be aware that not all breeders are alike. Reputable dealers follow strict animal welfare practices, but  sadly, some breeders allow dogs to leave in untended conditions, and sometimes with too little food. That is not the type of breeder any dog lover would knowingly support. Your best defense to go there in person and look at the conditions in which the dogs are kept. If you are satisfied with what you see, you will have not only peace of mind but you will have a much reduced likelihood of your dog arriving with a ticks, or a medical issue that contracted in the conditions he live before coming to you.

There those who swear by mixed breeds. A popular belief among some owners is that a mixed bred will be a happier dog. While that's up to debate, it can be said that mixed bred dogs do not have some of the health issues that are associated with purebreds, such as hip problems in German shepherds.

For those who are open to mixed breeds, more options are available, such as your local Humane Society, or other rescue shelters. For some, saving an unwanted dog from being out down is a very rewarding part of acquiring a pet.

This brings us to the question of whether to buy a puppy, or to take on a more mature dog.  For many reasons an older dog might fit your lifestyle better than a pup. They have the advantage of being house-trained and are likely to be less frenetic than a pup. If you are retired and want a quiet lifestyle, an older dog might be just the ticket for you.

Once you have made your self-assessment, you will be ready to research the breed that best fits your needs. Some internet sites offer tests that will suggest a breed for you based on the answer you would give to questions like those asked above. Talking to other owners is also a great source for learning. If you see someone walking along with a dog that you think you might like, don't hesitate to ask about him. Dog owners love to talk about their pooches. 

Perhaps this will be your first dog. If so, congratulations. No matter the breed, you are about to discover the joys of love and devotion from a true companion.
