Many people like to super-size your coffee and get additional toppings on your pizza, yet, having to choose a big dog won't always guarantee you of all or most of the advantages. Each dogs type' of inheritance is one defining factor to which their particular requirements are based upon. Some types, like hunters, are genetically programmed to crave the open spaces and outside physical exercise. If you are looking for dogs to be "lap dogs," some breeds of dogs such as miniature dogs can actually serve you well, since they don't need that much space or time to be outdoors just to run around and play, you wont find it hard to deal with them particularly if you're the idle type of person as they can go with the flow of your life.
The size of your dog has to match the size of your living space. A German Shepherd is a marvellous watch dog for your city apartment, but you must give that dog time in the park to run and be active every day. If you can't provide this dog the kind or amount of exercise that it needs because you're too busy, tired or is just idle enough, then, a watchdog is not what you really need but an warning device instead. If you want a pet that could remain contented just being inside your apartment and being outdoors is not totally his inclination, then you might as well go for a miniature dog like a poodle or Chihuahua.
If you have a secured balcony with solid, high railing, that is already enough for such a small dog to enjoy its outdoor time but you should also see to it that you can supplement that with a walk outside even just once a day. Don't let the dog's visual aspect or temperament fool you.
If you want a gentle as well as a quiet dog, then you might as well settle for a greyhound - bringing such dog to a close living area is something that it wont be worried about. But that gentle greyhound must have daily physical exercise in enough area to run and play. You should be aware that greyhounds are able to run with the speed of up to forty five mph and even faster, so you don't want them turning your family room into a track for racing. Neither you nor the dog will be pleased with the result.
In whatever efforts you do to maintain a dog, size has always something to do with it. That cute, furry pup that you fell in love with at the pet store that barely nibbles pup chow, but now, it grew up to be some creature in the form of a one hundred and twenty pound St Bernard that could almost consume just anything and would even leave your wallets very soft and thin. If you want him to get enough sustenance then you better give him about 8-10 scoops of a daily high quality dog food, you'll be spending the price of a daily steak dinner - only you don't get to eat the steak. Pushing around a piece of furniture as easy as lifting a feather is just another thing that your dog can actually do. When you tend to leave your house in a rush and you left your dog with nothing to play with or somebody to entertain, the large dog may decide to destroy the living room just for fun.
On the other hand, tiny designer costumes, knitted sweaters and clever playthings are what you can find in the closet of so many toy dogs. Giving them such canopied or French provincial fashionable beds is also one of which most pet owners would love to do for their miniature dogs. The doggy stuff can take up far more space in your home than the dog does.
Some pet owners have multiple pets and if you are one of them owning multiple dogs, regardless of breed, you need to provide sleeping space for each dog. Don't anticipate them to crowd together. It is not only you who needs space but also your pets or dogs specifically. individual territory where it is possible to sleep, relax and hide their personal things such as bones or toys is also one thing that most dogs actually call for.
Outdoor dog houses having enough protection from any weather especially the bad one should be provided to those dogs that are left to sleep or reside outdoors. You aren't sharing your bedroom with the neighbors, so why would you expect your dog to share his doghouse with the new dog? Bear in mind that if you want to add up another dog to your home, the space and care needs of each dog should be considered. - 29895
