Care of Dogs
Your Dogs Temperament
Your dogs temperament should match yours. Don’t choose a breed that is highly energetic if you’re a couch potato. On the other hand, if you want a dog that will follow you everywhere around the house and who is always ready for a game of fetch or tug of war then you should consider a dog that is highly active and always has a lot of energy, instead of one of the lethargic breeds. Large or Small Dog
You don’t have to have own a large house to own a large dog (although a tiny apartment isn’t going to be big enough for one of the giant breeds). If you can take him outside for a good hour of two of exercise every day… a large dog can live in a small house or apartment just fine.
Keep in mind that large dogs are more expensive to keep. They eat more food, which costs you more money. Tick and flea preventives cost more for large dogs, as do other mediations.
Best Dog Breeds
* Best Dog Breeds : Bull Dog - Bulldogs were first used in England during the Middle Ages as baiters and fighters of bulls.
They were originally bred to have courage and tenacity similar to the Mastiff. These early dogs were incredibly aggressive. It was not until the 19th century that the present personable temperament was achieved.
Take the Border Collie for example. The Border Collie is the smartest dog breed, yes. However, they belong to the herding breeds, what means they are not good house pets. This dog breed has an obsessive need to do a job. Moreover, you will not be able to change this inherent characteristic!
On the other hand, take the toy poodle. This dog breed can be very choosy about food! Can you afford to have a dog that prefers caviar and pate?
