Many people want to get an identical dog when they see how cute and smart other people's dogs are. Here I want to say that whether a dog is well-raised depends on whether other people's feeding methods are correct. What kind of dog do you like and what kind of dog you are suitable for are completely two concepts. This is very important. Most owners choose dogs according to their appearance. When I brought it home, I found that it was not the case, and many unexpected things followed. Some dogs have a lot of energy. If you don't have enough time to take him to exercise, don't choose, otherwise the dog's excess energy can only be put on your furniture, slippers or even... pigs. Here's a simple guide on how to choose a dog that's right for you.

1. Puppy or adult?

Something to consider One point is whether you have the time and energy, and whether you have basic puppy feeding common sense. Because the feeding environment and nursing requirements for puppies are very high, and the pet market is fish mixed, the dogs that have just arrived home are very small. There are no less than 20 cases per month, and these treatment costs and nursing costs need to be considered. Therefore, please be careful to buy puppies that have not been fully vaccinated. When purchasing, please choose a regular kennel and ask for the vaccine book.

Dogs will recognize their owners more when they are raised from a young age. We do not deny this, but in fact, most adult dogs can also do it, such as big Golden Retriever, Labrador, Springer and other open-minded dog breeds can quickly adapt to new environments and new owners.

2. Small dog or large dog?

There is not much difference in the size of the dog within a month or two after birth , but over time, the gap between large dogs and small dogs will gradually emerge.

Small dogs require less space and exercise, but are more likely to bark and are more sensitive. Although they are small, their personalities are not as stable as large dogs, and they tend to have aggressive behaviors such as protecting food and biting. relatively common.

Big dogs mean more food, more exercise, bigger size, and more need for behavioral norms and training. For example, when a dog is a child, it is dangerous to bite people and other actions. Once the size becomes larger, it is dangerous. If it is not trained properly, it may cause trouble; but on the other hand, we have to admit that most large dogs are in adulthood. Later, the character is more calm and less prone to barking and disturbing people, such as the warm male golden retriever and Labrador.

3. Introverted or extroverted?

Extroverted and lively dogs, more interactive and closer to people, such as Springer, But if your space, time and energy can't satisfy them, then their attention may be on your sofa slippers; introverted dogs seem to be able to live well by themselves and do not need the owner's concern , eat and drink, but if the owner does not know how to control, it may make the dog become depressed or even think that he is the owner, such as Akita, Shishi Inu, etc.

4. Male or female?

Male dogs are more territorial, like to fight when they go out, and are more likely to be attracted by the smell of estrus mothers And lost; the bitch has a relatively mild personality. After adulthood, it will be in estrus regularly. After seven or eight years old, it is easy to suffer from reproductive system diseases. Of course, you can also choose to sterilize the dog.

5. Activity space and living habits of the owner

In fact, all dog breeds need a certain amount of outdoor exercise, especially sheepdogs , hounds, retrievers and other dog breeds with particularly high energy levels. If you live in a limited space, and there is no good environment for encountering dogs outdoors, and the owner is also a 996 office worker, then please try not to choose a large sporting dog breed, you can choose a smaller and more obedient toy companion dog breed, such as The most common Thai Ritian and small Bichon.

If you have children at home or plan to have children in the next few years, you can consider smaller, docile and low-energy dog breeds, such as Bichon, Pug, Corgi, etc.; if time is sufficient; if the child is older, you can choose (provided that it is not currently included in the city's banned list) relatively mild medium and large dog breeds, such as Golden Retriever, Labra Wait a lot; those who like running and fitness can choose dog breeds with higher experience values, such as fine dogs, border shepherd, etc.; the elderly can choose relatively small and obedient dog breeds to pass the time, such as Bichon, Bichon, etc. Teddy, Poodle, etc.

If you need to work overtime every day or even do not have enough energy and time for business trips, then Quanquan recommends that you keep a cat. The cat is more independent and does not need to go out for a walk. If you travel occasionally , buy an automatic feeder can also deal with a few days.
