It's easy to fall in love with a dog breed and rush into buying a gorgeous Border Collie or an intimidating Doberman Pinscher, but this is a mistake!
Buying a dog should be a long, careful process - a new dog is, after all, a new family member and Every dog deserves more than a loving home - they deserve the right loving home!
There are a number of things that potential dog owners need to consider before making the leap:
- Does the dog breed you've fallen in love with fit in with your lifestyle?
- If you work eight hours a day, can the dog be left on its own in your home, or will it become stressed and destructive?
- If you have other pets, will the dog get along with them? Is the dog child-friendly, or will it quickly lose patience?
It works both ways; a new dog must fit in with their owner's lifestyle, but new owners also need to have the skills and patience necessary to provide adequate care for their new canine companion. Prospective dog owners should ask themselves,
- Do I have the time to give this breed all the exercise it needs?
- Do I have the energy to keep up with them?
- Am I willing to buy it a doggie jacket when the weather gets chilly?
- Do I want a mellow lap dog or an excitable adventuring buddy?
This book will analyze 50 dog breeds in terms of their protection ability, trainability, playfulness, exercise needs and adaptability. If you're a prospective dog owner or even just an enthusiast, you'll find this book helpful!
In this book, you'll discover:
- Why Alaskan Malamutes struggle to live in apartments
- A distinct characteristic of Shiba Inu that makes it unsuitable as a watchdog
- Why a short training session might work best with a Shih Tzu
- Why training a Siberian Husky is particularly difficult and should only be attempted by experienced pet owners
- Two key features that make Shetland Sheepdogs very trainable
- Why Golden Retrievers make a good choice for service and therapy dogs
- Why it's particularly important that trainers keep training sessions fresh and interesting when it comes to training a Doberman Pinscher
- Why Queen Victoria fell in love with her collie during a visit to her Scottish estate back in 1860 and why collies have a very poor protection ability
- What makes the Chihuahua particularly suited to being a watchdog
- Why the Chinese Shar-Pei, with a protection ability rating of 90%, is regarded as one of the top guard dogs around
- Why the protection ability of Bulldogs depend on their breeding
- Why only experienced and determined owners should attempt to care for an Akita
...And much much more!
