The Right Dog Breed For Home

If you have been thinking about getting a Dog, one of the first things you might want to think about is what type of canine you would like to own. Knowing a little bit about Dog breeds is important when choosing a pup to understand their temperament, habits, coat shedding, among other things that may be valuable to you when making your decision. Some Dogs are pure breed and there are also mixed Dog breeds. Purebred dogs tend to have more distinctive temperaments and behavioral patterns.

Sometimes physical traits are the reason some owners tend to go for purebred dogs. Mixed dog breeds tend to have less dominate personalities. Since a purebred puppy is literally bred to have a dominate purpose (herding, working, sledding, guarding...) mixed bred pouches tend to lack this and therefore are able to adjust better to being trained to have a personality you would like them to have. Mixed bred dogs also tend to be less expensive than purebred.

One of the joys of many owners of purebred dogs is to show them in competitions. Your pooch should be in pristine shape and groomed perfectly when it comes to a show. The training of the animal is one of the most important aspects. First thing most people do is take the dog to a handling class. This will help prepare him or her for the ring. Training your dog on how to stand properly which is called stacking is very important. Practice makes perfect. Have your competitor ready at all times to go into a ring that way your they will not slack when it comes time for a show.

All dog breeds have their finer points and negative points. Some can be aggressive, some shed like crazy, some are not very tolerant of children. Its all in the eye of the owner what type of puppy you would like to own and make into your best friend. Some people do not have a lot of knowledge about dogs so they just choose the most popular dog breeds for their pet. The American kennel club or the AKC rates dog breeds and has a list of the top ten dog breeds, and ranks the best bred as well as the smartest ones too.

Retrievers and terriers tend to be on the top of most lists. The terrier dog breed is usually known for their aggressive and stubborn personality. These personality traits are shown when they are pursuing small animals as they tend to have a very strong hunting instinct. Toy dog breeds include very many different types of dogs. This type of breed just refers to small dogs.

Since this is a very wide group their attitudes vary greatly. Most people enjoy this breed as a small companion easy to take a long with you, or in small apartments or houses. Retrievers tend to be a very gentle pet. They are not quick to snap or bite and tend to be very good with young children. They are very athletic and are usually point on when sporting. For this reason they are a popular house hold family pet.
