CHOOSING THE RIGHT DOG
Most of us buy dogs for the craze we have for them. Some of us want a true companion, a friend or a loyal servant depending on our moods and needs. If you have a particular mindset for some breed, then you would obviously go for it without a second thought. However, even in that case you would surely be interested in knowing each and every characteristic of the breed you are going to share some good years of your life with.
On the other hand, if you wish to keep a dog merely as a pet, it is worthwhile spending sometime getting to know about various kinds of dogs in detail so that you can choose the one which fits best into your home.
It is true that the dog is one of the most adoptable animal pets known to us but each breed has characteristic features which might work out to your advantage or disadvantage
- depending upon your family atmosphere in general and what your personal needs from the dog are in particular.
There are certain factors which need to be kept in mind while selecting a puppy. Then can basically be distributed into two categories, namely size and sex. The categories are discussed below in
Detail:-
Size: A big sized dog needs regular exercise and you must happily take him out at least twice a day for long walks. On the other hand, if you can't afford this, selecting a smaller dog is a smarter decision. He will not need as much exercise and so will be more suitable for indoor life and small homes. A big dog requires more space. Never dream of keeping a Great Dane in a two room apartment on the sixth floor. The shorter the space you have, the smaller the size of the dog you should settle for. The less energy you have to take care, the smaller the size. Another consideration is the feed. A bigger dog needs more food and is relatively expensive compared to a smaller one. A big dog is kept as a guard dog, a deterrent to thieves and burglars. Though a smaller one with a sharp bark can more or less serve the purpose.
Keep are these factors in mind while selecting the size so as to suit your individual requirements.
Sex :- This is a rudimentary and crucial decision
- whether to select a dog or a bitch. Don't go by the stories contending the superiority of a male or a female. They have no scientific basis. The animal's individual disposition varies irrespective of the sex. Generally, females have a sweeter disposition. Females come on heat when they are ready to be mated, once they are between six months to one year of age, while males do not experience any such change.
