Best Ways for choosing Good Dogs breeds
Just because you live in the city doesn’t mean you can’t have some canine companionship. You do have to make sure you pick a dog breed that will fit in with your city life though. Follow my guidelines below and you’re sure to pick a winner.
The very first thing you need to consider is your own level of activity. If you’re very active you can easily get a high energy dog like Labrador retriever or even a border collie. Provided you take your pooch along when you go biking, walking, swimming, whatever. Are you more laid back? Like to enjoy a nice cup of coffee with your friends or a restaurant visit? Then you’ll want to pick a dog breed that can lie quietly at your feet for a couple of hours.
Secondly, after choosing the right dog breed, you’ll want to look at each individual dog’s temperament. I recommend staying away from overly shy dogs unless you have some experience on how to socialize a puppy properly. Very shy dogs are usually quite fearful. Introducing them to all the sounds, smells and movements of city life can be quite challenging.
Something else to take into consideration are your neighbours. Getting a guard dog might make you feel safe, but your neighbours probably won’t appreciate a barking concert every time someone passes your door or window. On the same note, you’ll want to make sure your pooch can stay home alone without howling until you come back from work, lunch or your latest shopping spree.
