The Profile Of A Wannabe Dog Breed
Author: Jack Russell

Dog lovers everywhere devote so much time choosing the right
dog breeds before they decide to purchase a dog. For them, the
dog's breed is one contributing factor to its value. That is
why most families who decide to get some dogs, they know that
choosing the right breed is crucial.

Today, there are 70 million dogs in the United States but the
American Kennel Club only recognizes 143 breeds of dogs. Still,
with these numbers, choosing the right kind of dog breed for the
family can be very tedious.

However, most pet shop owners contend that the reasons why the
preference of the people in choosing their dogs may vary from
one person to another is because each person has its own
pre-conceived idea what he wants in a dog. It all depends on
the physical attributes.

There are those who fancy the size, the shape of the face, the
looks, or even the temper. But whatever preference an
individual has regarding his choice for dogs, still, there are
important factors that one must remember in choosing a
particular dog breed.

Here's a list of the things that must be considered first:

1. The size of the house

Many people tend to forget this factor. The area of the house
should be the primary factor to consider before buying the best
dog breed available.

For example, if a future dog owner is living on an apartment,
then, there's no use to buy a large dog. So, for limited space,
it's better to opt for those cute little canines that don't need
too much space to raise them.

2. The children

If a future dog owner has children, it's best to consider his
children rather than his own preference. Delicate dogs like
Chihuahua care not advisable because they are too frail to let
the children take care of them. Big dogs like Saint Bernard
could also pose some risk on the children.

So, the bottom line is to choose the breed of dog depending on
the age of the children and how many are they in the house.

3. The nature of the job

For people who would love to buy dogs but they don't have time
to devote so much on grooming, then, it's best to buy those
that doesn't need too much attention on hair grooming like the
Terriers. This kind of breed of dogs has short hairs so they
don't need a lot of fuss on their hair.

Boiled down, the best dog breed is the one that fits the kind
of life the future owner has. Compatibility is the key in this
kind of situation.
