Dogs are wonderful pets and companions; Anyone who loves dogs wants them to be a part of their family. Most of the time, we look for cuteness and a friendly nature when buying a dog. But, nowadays, every experienced dog owner will tell you otherwise. It is best if you choose a dog that suits your lifestyle. Just as each individual is different, so are dogs. Each breed has certain characteristics that must match their lifestyle.
Different types of lifestyle–
The lifestyle geek– If you are a person who can never leave the computer alone for a single minute and loves to play games, you better opt for a low maintenance dog. Low-maintenance dogs will happily watch you play the keyboard all day and won’t complain much. Example – Pugs
active lifestyle– If you are a big fan of sports, love to run and lead an active life, you need an outdoor dog. He will match your fitness levels and love playing with you. Example – Golden or Labrador Retrievers
young children in the family– For a situation like this, it is best to bet on a dog that has a history of friendliness with children. They have more patience than other breeds and love to play with them. Example: spaniels
small space– If you live in a small apartment, you would need a small dog, so that the dog does not feel suffocated. It is best to buy small breeds of dogs. Example – Dachshunds
A big house– If you have a big house, you may want a dog that can take care of the house. These dogs have special abilities and are trained to do so. Example: German Shepherds, Dobermans
Other factors to consider–
The following factors should also be considered before buying a dog:
- The space available for the dog.– Dogs love to roam around the house all day and just can’t sit around doing nothing. Choose a breed based on space available
- willingness to spend– If you have a big budget, you can go for big dogs as they have a big appetite, if you have budget constraints, it is better to go for a small dog.
- Available time– If you are going to buy a dog, you or someone in the family must have time to take it for regular walks, medications and time to train them.
Your desire to buy a dog is only part of the story, the main thing is to have the right priorities. When the breed of dog matches your lifestyle, it’s easier for the whole family to enjoy the dog.
Of course, another decision to make is whether you want to start with an adult dog or a puppy.
Your new dog is a member of the family, he is alive and has feelings. He must be loved and treated fairly. After all, as the old saying goes: “Dog is man’s best friend!”
