Breed poser
If after running through the basic questions, you figure you can afford a four-legged (I mean your dog) addition to your house, then the next thing is to determine what breed suits your needs best.
For the past 500 years, humans have purposefully set out to create breeds that could aid them in specific tasks. Hence, each breed has its distinctive character.
Do you want a dog for companionship purposes or for specific reasons, like a working dog? Since most of us aren’t likely to be shepherds or go on foxhunts, you’re most probably want a dog you can play and bond with. Some may decide to keep dogs for a sense of security from intruders. These dogs can develop an aggressive nature, if trained. You must understand the breed’s temperament well and how it should interact with family members and strangers.
Some breeds, usually the larger ones, require a lot of exercise; so be prepared to take them for regular walks and runs.
You may also want to ascertain if the breed does well with children. Some are better than others but the dog’s interaction with children also depends on the child. Rough treatment could provoke fear and result in a growl or bite. It’s important not to leave a small child alone with a dog.
There are also differences between males and females. Males are generally more dominant and self-confident, while bitches tend to be more affectionate and home-loving.
