What Kind Of Dog Would You Like To Choose?
So, you’re thinking about getting a pet dog to bring home, eh? Well, in choosing breed of dog, you also need to consider a lot of things like what kind of dog is best when you have kids, what kind of dog breed is best when you are living in a very rough neighborhood. If you’re the extrovert type, maybe you would like showing off your Shih Tzu or Pekingese to your circle of friends. And of course, budget is also a big factor to consider. If you’re hard up but you still want a pet dog, go for the little ones. Maybe a Chihuahua or a Jack Russell Terrier might do. You don’t want to spend a lot of hundred dollars of dog food to a 200-lb. St. Bernard, right, while your family is dying of hunger, right? That is why, it’s important that you should think about it a couple more time after thinking about it a couple of time.
But if you just rely on your personal information or knowledge in choosing dog breed, you can end up choosing not at all. You need a guide that will teach you how to exactly select the right pet dog for you and your family. Sometimes, what you can choose might be very expensive for you or you might choose a dog breed that is not good for your health. A neighbor told his friends that his sister called up and informed him that they decided to sell of their German Shepherd as per advise by her doctor. She was struck with allergy and she keeps on sneezing and sneezing until her nose bled and all because of the hair of the dog.
“So, what’s the best dog breed for me?”, you might ponder. As what have been said, it all depends on many factors and to help you out, better go to this site called “choosing-a-dog-breed dot com” and get a copy of this guide called “Choosing The Right Dog Breed”.

I’ve got 3 dogs of my own (bought them all separately). One is a Shepard-Pit mix named Abbey, one’s a Rat Terrier named Bella, and the other is a Chihuahua (he’s the newest addition), named Romeo. Bella and Romeo get along great. They love to wrestle, play, eat, sleep, cuddle, and do everything together. They even wear matching outfits! Abbey wants to play with the little ones, but she’s a big clumsy goon. We have to supervise their interaction carefully some no one gets hurt.
Don’t forget to also consider the compatibility of new dogs with other pets you may have in your home.

I’ve always loved labradors.. They need a lot of space though.
One vote for Yorkie! Best dog breed!
It is so critical to give it serious consideration. We got a dog that is mixed, but from a breed that was used to hunt and dig. So the dog kept digging and escaping under the fence. Eventually we had to give it away.
Selecting the right breed is definitely important, as choosing the wrong breed can cause all kinds of problems.
I would add that meeting the dog’s mother, father, breeders and the type of home they’re being brought up in are also critical areas to explore before you make your final decision. I grew up with Scottish terriers, and while they were terrific, the next puppy after that was living in a very dank basement with his siblings. I mentioned this to my parents but they were unconcerned, since the breeder had his AKC registration. Bad move on their parts, since the dog had major behavioral problems down the road, and eventually we had to put him down. It was very sad, but the next dog we got we knew the breeders personally, as well as his mother. That dog was the greatest dog in my life (so far), an awesome Golden – still miss him today, and that was over 20 years ago.
I think once you have found the breed of dog that you feel is perfect for you, visit your local rescue center. There are hundres of dogs out there that are in need of a loving home. I would urge anyone to help one of them before considering contacting breeders.
We have been breeding Alaskan Malamutes for several years now and our main proirty when planning a litter it the temperament of the dogs. We love all our dogs we now have seven adult alaskan malamutes and wouldnt be without them!
I want to raise a Yorkshire. But it looks hard to feed.So do you give me some information about that? Thanks so much…
We have always been fond of poodles, mostly smaller ones and have always been great pets.
If you are active in sports i would suggest dogs which are made for \"hunting\" purpose. I have mine, Creamy, and to tell the truth this dog really fits my personality.
I can only choose one dog and thats a boxer!! Ever since I got my first boxer puppy, called Honey, I have been unable to consider any other dog. I just love their character and temperament, they think they are so funny – it makes me laugh!
To select a suitable and healthy bread for dog is very important .We have to thing about dog health as well as family member specially children.The common problem allergy can be attacked to children if we choose to some unhealthy for bread for dog.
I’ll go for a Golden Retriever! They’re big and gentle
Do you think I’d be able to get away with getting a dog in the same house as my existing pet hedgehog? I guess it’s a pretty unusual question, but has anyone seen this combination before?
I want to raise a poodle. Yeah but most of the people do not go with them.

Well i think dogs are very important member of the family because they are very loyal to our family. Well about the selection of dogs i would like to choose the decent one. Anyways keep it up and keep continue.
I want to raise a BullDog. But it looks hard to feed.So do you give me some information about that? Thanks so much…
Thanks for your article. I’m still debating with myself about what type of dog to choose. I want one that would be in love with my cat.:) I want both a dog and a cat.:D
Is it too much?
My sister recently got a retriever. She loves him. but that is a crazy dog. She should have read this book. Thanks for the post.
Fell in love with a Spaniel/Poodle cross we met on holiday. If we get a dog I think we\’ll definately look for a pair of Spanoodles!
I like Shih Tzu puppies, they’re so cute and charming. Plus, they don’t take much space.
For those with children, temperament is everything. Great family dogs are those gentle in nature like the Golden Retriever or Labrador Retriever. These are the obvious and most popular choices for family dogs. If you are looking for a more original breed, your family may love the Newfoundland. This is a large, sluggish water loving dog. However, what about the family members who are allergic to most furry friends?
I used to be a german sheperd lover, but now I think the boxer breed is my favourite breed of dog. They fun, loyal and have a great personality. And they are cute
For me, it’s got to be an Irish Wolfhound. They are truly magnificent beasts and despite their size have a great temperment.
I think this is depends on the person because every person have a different taste for the things. If i have to choose then i will prefer the long haired dog because i like those dogs. Anyways keep it up and keep continue.
I’ve had a beagle and a cocker spaniel, loved them both but they do have specific issues to consider. Beagles can get loud and eat like no tomorrow! The cocker needs grooming and had problems with her ears. I have to agree with the article and everyone’s comments, you need to research the different breeds and find the one that fits with your family.
I prefer a left over stray mongel, totally unloved and neglected. Something that i can give a nice a nd loving home to.
Dogs are my favorite and i like only small and beautiful dogs. There are lots of variety in dogs and some of them are really very dangerous so i think it is really an interesting question.
really very tough to decide which breed is better and which is not because all the breeds have different qualities which makes them very different from one another.
I’m in love with German Shepherds but I’m afraid to take care even just one for fear that I might not be able to take care of it properly and might die in my care. But with this book guide, I hope it can change my perception and teach me the proper way to care for a dog! Thanks!
Excellent blog you have here. I’m a long time reader, but haven’t commented before, I just had to say how much I enjoy the site. like your information very usful really like it.
Dogs are the only pets who are most reliable for the family i have never seen such a trust able pet. I think they can be a family member with in few days. So about my self i like the small white puppies only .i have one it’s name is shaggy.
I only choose Shih Tzu or Pekingese, or mixed of both! Recently, I lost my dog but glad I found him back. He is like my brother to me.
Well, the post is actually the best on this precious topic. I concur with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your coming updates. Saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the great lucidity in your writing. I will immediately grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates. Admirable work and much success in your business efforts!
My favourite dog has unbearable beautiful eyes: I love huskys, but of course I don´t have one.They look so faithful that if I´m going to have a house for my own I´ll get a husky.
I prefer – right coming from my childhood I think – the german shepped dog, but our space doesn’t allow to choos any dog …
I have always been partial to German Shepherds. They are some of the most intellegent and loyal dogs anyone can find.
If you have long job hours or spend a lot of time out of the house you will probably need a dog that requires little attention and is more self maintained such as a Shih Tzu. If you can sacrifice spending time at home and are willing to work with your dog then you can get a more attention craving breed like a rottweiler.
bull dog is my favorite really great dog anyways that is some informative stuff. Never knew that opinions could be this varied. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.
“labradors” they are the best one
I really would love to own a German Shepherd…again…but there is only one problem: my husband is allergic to the hairs of the GS. We had one 2 years ago but our doctor told us that we have to sell that dog because my husband sneezed all the time and it has been attributed to the falling hairs of our beloved Crystal. But I’m willing to invest on something to help my husband get rid of allergy so we can own again a nice German Shepherd!
Hi!
Thanks for this great article. Choosing the right Dog Breed is really important and is not a decision that should be rushed. My favorite Breed has to be West Highland Terrier\’s. They are beautiful dogs with lots of character and are very affectionate! They also don\’t need a ton of exercise, which is just the way I like it
I will stop by your site again soon.
well i personally like the German Shepard breed of dogs since they are very good looking.
I had a chocolate Lab that loved chicken. Especially the live ones. I could never break him from killing and eating chickens. Once they have tasted chicken it’s almost impossible to stop it.
I have always been fond of German Shepherds. They are very smart and loyal companions. They also will protect their home.
I think the most important factor in choosing a dog should be considering the children and people that the dog will be around. A beagle is a very dog to work with young children, and was in fact my first dog. Also dog allergies are another factor, because you may not be aware that you have allergies until you’re actually living with them.
I’m in love with all Boxers but I’m afraid to take care even just one for fear that my husband is allergic. But with this book guide, I hope it can change my perception and teach me the proper way to care for a dog! Thanks!
Must have a lot of fur… that is my rule.
For me, it’s got to be an Irish Boxer. They are truly awesome dogs and despite their size have a great temperament.
I love dogs and am currently looking after the German Shepherd,its a nice breed though expensi.Thanks for the article.
My current dog is a cross between a Labrador and a German Shepherd, she was so cute as a puppy. I got her from a rescue centre n was satisfying to know that I’ve given a rescued dog a home.
I believe it is very important which breed you choose, and to think about it more if you have children. I mean all dogs can be vicious but some are just known to be like that.
Excellent article here! It is no surprise that this posting has had such positive feedback via the comments. I’ll certainly be keeping track of your progress over the year.
P.S I love Dobermans, although they tend to grow a little too big for my liking lol.
Choosing a dog is an important decision, and there are questions you should ask yourself before you commit to caring for a dog.
Labradors every time – I really don’t think you could find a more family friendly, homely dog and I wouldn’t have anything else.
I never really liked pets that much until i got remarried recently and got a dog as well. well the little thing has endeared herself to me and now is my constaant companion…oh and i am still happily married as well
I haven’t been able to get another dog since my shepherd Heidi was killed a few years ago but am now seriouly looking again
There’s nothing better than a Golden Retriever as a family pet. That’s my vote!
I think it’s very important to make sure that you have a friendly dog especially if there are small children in the family and to make sure you get to know the dog well, especially before buying it, because two different dogs from the same breed and littler can act completely different.
i would go for labra dos really great dogs very sweet and attentive too.they have great smelling power.
Well dog my dog is really important for our family .choosing good dog brings good friend to family
I have 3 dogs and never considered picking them because they were a specific breed, but instead choose to rescue them because they needed a good home. My 1st dog is a Schnauzer mix – she is the Queen. Schnauzer are extremely smart. My 2nd is a Lhasa Apso mix – he is the king – he is playful and funny and loves giving kisses. My 3rd dog is a Corgi – she is the Princess – loyal to a T but very bossy.
Each of my dogs brings something unique and special to our home not only based on breed but temperament and personality.

Do you want some advice? Get a rabbit to go along with your dog. Rabbits are loving tame and cute. Rabbits can get along with many pets including dogs as long as you put them together at a young age.
it’s got to be an Irish Wolfhound. They are truly magnificent beasts and despite their size have a great temperment.
Well I can say that I’m a tough guy and my ideal dog is like a pitbull or a breed that have tough image too.

And of course, budget is also a big factor to consider. If you’re hard up but you still want a pet dog, go for the little ones. You should also be careful at times.
Labradors absolute beautiful dogs.
Depends really what kind of personality you want in a pet to be honest.
I have always liked the idea of having a pet dog but the main reason I have held back is that they are a huge responsibility and can tie you down if you want to go away travelling. I think many people buy dogs because they think it would be a cool idea – it is only once they have the dog that they realise what hard work is involved. Don’t get we wrong it is a great pleasure to have a dog but be sure you are buying one having fully thought things through.

I have two Black Labs of my own and run a dog care service. Dogs do require a lot of your time or the use of a wakling / care service. This can be costly in terms of money and your social diary may need to change. 50% of my customers dogs are rescue dogs! Dont add to this problem. Think first then consider a rescue dog for yourself if and only if you are fully commited and capable of providing a good home for your new chum. Don,t forget this can be a 10 YEAR PLUS COMMITMENT.
I love Siberian Huskies! We have one and a lab/husky mix.. Both are great dogs, very loyal and smart! You can see them at lovemypuppy.webs.com
I have a 9 year old Shih Tzu golden and white, he is a lovely dog. I previously had a yorkshire terrier and a yorkshire terrier cross also two lovely dogs. But this Shih Tzu is so intelligent and know’s his own mind and can be a bit bossy at times i find and if i tell him off for something he has a go back at me and barks. But he is never spiteful at all. I would get another Shih Tzu is anything happened to Jasper even though the breed needs a lot of grooming and he has to be cut regularly. They are a very handsome looking breed, i do hope that i have Jasper for many years to come. He is a great companion and i would miss him terrible if he wasn’t around anymore.
Excellent advice here on choosing a dog breed! I am on the lookout at the moment. I think a pedigree dog may be too expensive and so may check out the local dogs and will hopefully be luck there. All the best.
its depending on the persons interest.
I love bull dogs and Staffordshire bull terriers. Staffys have a really bad name in some towns as people associate them with bad owners and fighting. My brother has one and it is as cute as anything.

I used to live at the countryside and have 2 dogs with me growing up back then. I loved to keep a small dog for company ever since I moved to the city . But I live in an apartment with a no-dog-policy. Keeping a dog is not easy though. You need to have the right attitude.

When working with essential oils, remember that they have a very strong scent. Therefore, in the second step you need to add the appropriate amount of essential oil to your wax.
I have to say that I love Staffordshire Bull Terriers. They are so loyal and love people. They are however extremely high energy, and so I wouldn’t be without my dog treadmill on those bad weather days. My dog Mia can’t get enough exercise, she loves to run.

My last dog was a beagle who was a bit neurotic. My son brought him home from a farm and we think he (the beagle) wasn’t ready to leave his mommy. We had him for almost 11 years, until he got sick, and he always had trouble with seperation anxiety. He also got fat because he would eat too much. Even with all his little issues, he was a very loving dog and very funny. We miss him.

Be careful when you are choosing a dog that will be with you for 10 to 15 years.
I’d go with either a Siberian Husky or German Sheppard. I had a Husky and it was the most lovable dog ever. And german sheppards are just awesome
I like breed of dogs that does not bark, that is the Basenji.

I had a collie when I was younger. Really fantastic dog. Loyal and friendly. Used to round up children which was quite funny.
I have a basenji and a labrador. The former is a saint, and the latter is a total riot. Labs do need plenty of space, thank god for my lawn.
Siberian Husky’s are definitely the coolest. I have two right now.
It depends on a lot of things, but Yorkshire terriers are good little dogs and seem to work for many people’s ways of life.
Hi, when it comes to the choice of breeding, it’s really difficult to choose the quality. It is because its particular breed has its own quality.

I have never owned anything that wasn’t a mutt. =( But if I had my choice, although I’m a guy, I would get something small and cute. A Pomeranian or something like that. I like cute, fluffy, playful dogs!
I agree with you.
I Have 3 dogs now. A German Sheppard, a Puppy boxer, and a duschound. They are lovely dogs, and have alot of energy. We have actually started training them, sothat they can be ready when my baby is born early september.
We like big dogs, but thought a little duschound would be nice to keep the other to on their toes.
so far so good.

It’s not really easy to choose the type of dogs for your pet. If you wanted a dog who retrieves balls and sticks, but your dog never fetches anything, a terrier probably wasn’t the right dog for you.
A Jack Russell terrier would be nice, but it requires so much exercise.It might be good after all, less time in front of the computer and I would get some training as well.

I ended with both a small dog and a big one
One yorkie and one Pitbull which the pitbull is not aggressive at all and it’s my favorite of the 2 lol. But your right about considering the thoughts you mentioned in your blog about food cost and the neighborhood you live in.
I like Hound Dogs. Hound Dogs have been bred to chase (or hound) a quarry by sight or smell, or a combination of both senses. Sighthounds have exceptional eyesight, combined with the speed and stamina necessary to catch the intended prey once seen, typical examples being the Greyhound and the Whippet. Hounds which rely strongly on the sense of smell to follow the trail of a prey, such as the Bloodhound, quite literally follow their noses, speed and eyesight is of less importance.
Dog is useful especially when there is person they are not knowing and friendly to the people, we all know dog needs a friend to be playing with. Dog enjoying by playing around at your home, but most of all dog it becomes happy when you go out and playing and eating.

I had 2 labs when my kids were growing up and they are very loving to the kids and very protective of them. Also they are very territorial and don’t like other dogs in their yards. I broke up many fights with my lab and other dogs coming in our yard. They are a great pet though.
Pretty sure it comes down to personal preference when choosing a king of dog you want or anything else than that.

I recommend a Rat Terrier. The are great around kids and are very smart. I love their small size too. A super devoted dog.
We have owned two dogs and each time we took our time to choose the right breed for our circumstances and have been very happy.
Our first dog was a kelpie/blue heeler cross. He was a lovely dog but became too strong for any of us to handle even with training so we had to give him away as we had little children then and were afraid of leaving him alone with them. A pity but it is best to take your time and choose the right dog.
I’ve always loved Dobermans. I still do but nothing beats a Golden Retriever for a family dog.
We have owned two dogs and each time we took our time to choose the right breed for our circumstances and have been very happy.
Before going to buy a good breed that suits to you, you need to answer so many questions to yourself like How big is it? How big is the yard? Do you have children? Are you out of the home quite a lot? Are you allergic to some breeds? What do you expect from the dog etc? All of these questions need answering and only then can you begin our search for the perfect dog breed.
Yea, I have 3 breeds of pet dog named Rocky, Tommy and Pinky. They are central Asian Shepherds, English Mastiff and Pug respectively. I find all my dog breeds to be pretty and playful as well. So it is not necessary to debate which dog breed is the best. The best breeds are the outcome of how we train, breed and nurture our dogs in my view. Practicing regular dog exercises, feeding organic food stuffs and avoiding preservative foods and protecting the pet dogs from harmful pests and insects are indispensable than any other things. Hope you got me!
