Having a dog as a pet is not always the right thing for many people. Some people can’t stand the thought of having a dog, while others don’t like the idea of having to clean up after their dog.
The bond you form with your dog can be as deep and lasting as any other bond that you form with your family members. In some cases, it can go even deeper still, and this has been demonstrated time and again over the years.
"Lassie” the movie, might only be a corny much over done movie to many people, but at heart it is true, and embodies the spirit of the bond between owner and dog.
To that extent it becomes imperative that you decide upon which type of dog you want in your life before you actually go and adopt one. This is where the dog breeds book comes in handy.
You can use the facts mentioned in the book to help get a start deciding which breed of dog will suit you. You also then have the additional option of being able to investigate further on your own, and even take a look, at the different types of dogs that interest you.
When asked whether they want a small sized dog or a large sized dog, most people will waffle a bit, but some will be able to tell you straight off whether they want something the size of a Chihuahua or a Saint Bernard or something in between.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the different breeds of dogs andtherefore unfamiliar with the various different sizes, this can be confusing. After all, the Chihuahua could be the bigger of the two and the Saint Bernard only as big as a large hamster. Have you ever owned a dog before this This particular point only helps in so far, that if you have had a dog before this, you will have a better understanding of your needs and will be able to judge to a certain extent what you’re looking for in a dog more easily.
This entire thing is of course a moot point if what you want is a dog like that of your previous dog, or the dog that you already have. If however, you’re looking at getting a different breed of dog altogether from the one that have, or had, you will still find this checklist to be helpful to you.
You might want another dog, but that doesn’t necessarily mean thatyou know exactly what type of dog you want, or that you know which type of dog would suit you best.
A mixed breed dog on the other hand is a dog that has been bred from two different types of purebred dogs. These are also called hybrid dogs, and they are different from your normal run of the millmixed breed dogs that can be found on any street corner. If you’re in interested in either a purebred dog, or a mixed breed dog, you should be able to get the history and any other relevant information from the breeders themselves. But if what you want is the characteristics of a dog, I’m afraid that inthe case of the mixed breed dogs that you will have to go hunting through the different dog varieties to find what some of their better known traits are, and then wait and see which ones manifest themselves.
You will need to look at different pictures of the different dog varieties when they are fully grown to find which dog breeds continue the cuteness factor into their lives. Not all dogs are the same.
The title of this section, and everything that I have said up to this point tells you what you need to know about this section. Not all dogs are the same.You can take two dogs of the same breed, same age, even better,from the same litter, and you will get two distinctly different dogs.
In this aspect as well, they are like humans. They have their own identities and their own quirks and eccentricities. A lifetime is generally not long enough to get to know your dog well. You will be learning little bits and pieces about him until the very last.
