How To Choose A Breed Of Dog

In this posting I'm going to give you some information on how to choose the right breed of dog for your lifestyle.
It's important that the dog you choose suits how you live and fits in with what you do.
Choosing a breed of dog is not as easy as you may initially think, nor is it as daunting as it may imply.
A little education about dogs and breeds AND matching this up with your lifestyle will make for a much happier dog, not to mention a happier dog owner.
It's important to understand honestly, what you want a dog to do with you and IF your lifestyle suits the breed of dog you have picked.
With people being more and more exposed to different breeds via TV, magazines and internet, it's even more important that you choose a breed that's best for you based on the correct choices NOT by what others think or what breed they have.
It's important to know about dog breeds and their inherent tendencies in order to select a breed.
There are literally hundreds of breeds to choose a dog from.
Choosing the wrong breed can wreak havoc on not only yourself, you family and your lifestyle, but also on the dog itself.
Remember, you are adopting a companion, NOT choosing a car to trade in if you don't like it later on.
Dogs, like people, have feelings, grow attached and love their owners.
An important part of choosing a dog is knowing they also choose you.
The first part in selecting a dog is information you can gain through available knowledge.
Choose-a-breed-of-dog.
com is a very helpful site that breaks down the groups of dog breeds and explains basic tendencies and what dog breeds were nurtured and bred for.
Knowing what a breeds tendencies, or job, is helps you pick the correct dog for your lifestyle.
Size of a dog is also important relative to your own living space.
You certainly don't want to try to keep a dog of 75 pounds or more in a cramped apartment.
Nor expect a dog that loves to run to be happy sitting at home everyday.
Example: if you're not a person that loves to be outdoors and active a lot, then don't choose a breed best suited for and happiest when running outside, chasing a ball or hiking.
Regardless of the lifestyle you wish your newly chosen companion to fit in, there is still a huge commitment to owning a dog.
Be certain you have enough information to make the correct choice on which dog breed is best for you.
