Matching Your Personality to the Right Dog Breed
Each person has a different and unique personality which that there's no single dog breed that will be a perfect fit for everyone. Of course, you would always desire one that'll be able to jive with your activities and moods and not one that will annoy you and become a burden.
here are some basics when selecting the proper dog breed to go with your personality and activities :
Breeds for the sofa potato : The English Toy Spaniel, Boston Terrier, Shih-Tzu, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Spaniel, Afghan Hound, Mastiff, Sussex Spaniel, or Bulldog.
basically, these are dogs that do not have a lot of energy to expend throughout the day. They're the ideal companions when all you need to do is chill and relax.
Breeds for the sporty personality : Golden, Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, English Springer Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, Toy Poodle, small Poodle and Papillon, or Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
These particular dogs are balls of energy and will playfully engage in intense activities like jogging, playing catch and other stuff. If you want a less frightening playmate though, the poodles can be a great alternative as they may always be ready for some fun under the sun and tiny game.
These breeds are ideal for families with excessively frolicsome but ignorant children. They're gentle enough to keep your children away from harm but enormous enough not to be walked on or abused. Also, they're relatively playful breeds which make them good playmates particularly for families with only one kid.
Breeds for security : Doberman Pinscher, rotty, Bullmastiff, Belgian Tervuren, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, boxer, Mastiff, Belgian Malinois, Canaan Dog, and Standard Schnauzer.
Breeds that can be used as training partners : Golden and Labrador Retrievers, English Setter, Brittany, Weimaraner, Vizsla, Flat-Coated Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Basenji, Akita, Dalmatian, Norwegian Elkhound, Kerry Blue Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, English Springer Spaniel, Welsh Springer Spaniel, and Irish Setter.
Dog breedlike the ones discussed above are natural born swimmers so you will have no Problems taking them to water bound areas. They are not fearful to get wet and will even play in the water with you.
