The best dog

This post is similar to my "Shelter or Breeder?" post which was made to help breeders decide where to get a dog. In this post I would like to go over what kind of dog is best for each person.

When getting a dog never set high expectations. You need to be prepared for the worst when getting a dog, and you have to be able to deal with it. Dogs also take lots of patience. If you aren't patient with them, they will backfire and drive you insane. Before getting a dog, always research it. Research the breed, look at other peoples opinions and find what is the best for you.

Hypoallergenic dogs do not have fur, instead they have hair and they regularly need to be groomed and have their hair trimmed. Since they have hair instead of fur, people are not usually allergic to them. Unless you are allergic to anther part of them which is uncommon. A hypoallergenic dog is a great match for someone who is allergic to dogs. Example of hypoallergenic dogs: Poodles, Airedale Terrie, Portuguese Water Dog.

Big, nanny dogs are caring and kind. They want attention and young children to romp and play with. I recommend these dogs for families with young kids. Although most of them are good around children, make sure you start out with puppies and raise them by yourself. Some rescue dogs may have bad pasts and be scarred and deathly afraid of children. It's best to raise a puppy by yourself if you have young kids.

Shelter or a Breeder?

Before getting a dog, you have to decide where you will get the dog. The most common places to get a dog is from shelters or breeders. Hopefully, this blog post can help you figure out where the right place to get a dog is for you.

Shelters:
Usually people adopt dogs from shelters because all they want is a healthy companion. They are not looking for a high class, show dog with pedigrees. Often times they will be looking for a certain breed, and end up getting a dog that's the entire opposite because they like this dog more. The only problem with shelters is that some dogs are abused, or have bad pasts. So you have to be careful what dog you choose and make sure its the right one for your lifestyle and family.

Breeders:
Most people who buy dogs from breeders are looking for a certain type of dog, sometimes it will be for shows, and sometimes it will be just because they want an exact breed. Sometimes getting a puppy is better, since you can be the one to raise it, instead of some abusive people.

Never set expectations for your dog before you get it. People can say that the breed is super sweet and friendly, but you may end up with an aggressive dog.
