Buying a Pet
Dogs
and cats are the most popular pets, so we have started with
an overview of dogs. If you are going to be a first time pet
owner, read up and know what you are getting into before you
make the big leap. If you don’t want the responsibility
of a dog or cat, a goldfish or a turtle is always a nice choice.
Check back here soon as we will have more content on buying
a pet.
Big
Dogs
Dobermans - Dobermans
do not typically behave aggressively toward their owners, but can
be aggressive towards strangers. Male Dobermans can also be
aggressive towards other dogs. They need vigorous exercise everyday.
If you are a dominant person, obedience training won’t
be a problem.
Boxers-
Boxers got their name because of their habit of moving their
front paws while playing. Boxers are very loyal towards their
owner and are great around children. They protect their territory
and constantly need attention. They don’t consider themselves
just a family pet, but rather part of the family.
Pit
Bulls- Pit Bulls have the reputation for being aggressive.
However, this is not true with the proper training. Pit Bulls
are very bright, but are dependent on humans. They can be loyal
and bring a lot of enjoyment to their owner. Pit Bulls don’t
do well with other dogs, so a home with no pets is his ideal
environment. They need a lot of training, exercise, and attention
to keep them happy.
Great
Danes- Great Danes love human companionship. They love
to cuddle and walk around the neighborhood. Great Danes don’t
need a lot of exercise; they’re happy as long as they
are with you. If trained properly, Great Danes will get along
with children. Make sure you have a strong fence because Great
Danes love to dig holes!
Siberian
Huskies- Huskies are fun, loyal, and loving. They need
early obedience training and shouldn’t be off their leash.
If you are considering a Husky, you will need to spend a lot
of time training them. They are fast and love to run around.
Huskies enjoy activity, but also enjoy a lazy day on the couch.
Remember to have a high fence for the backyard because they
can really jump.
Poodles-
The standard poodle is a large, loyal dog. They are highly intelligent
and they love to please their owners, so it is easy to train
them. Poodles are great housedogs and get along with children
well. People who are allergic to dog fur have poodles as pets
because they don’t shed.
Chow
Chow-The Chow is a very interesting breed. This breed
has a blue tongue and straight back legs. They are suitable
for single people and can be over protective at times. Chows
don’t need a lot of exercise, but they need daily grooming
because their fur gets matted quickly and easily.
Dalmatians-
Dalmatians are known as the “fire station dog.”
This breed is ideal for the active family. They require a lot
of exercise and human attention. They are fun-loving and devoted
to keeping their humans active and happy.
Golden
Retrievers- This breed is one of the most devoted of
all breeds. The Golden Retriever would prefer to stay inside
with the family, but they need daily exercise to avoid joint
damage. They are good with all people, including strangers.
Golden Retrievers are the most popular family dogs, but are
also ideal for single people.
Black
Labs- Similar in demeanor to Golden Retrievers, black
labs are very intelligent dogs. They love to play fetch, and
often times love the water. Very eager to please their owners,
black labs are a personable breed that is just as happy playing
in the park as lounging around the house. As long as they are
with their favorite companions, they are satisfied.
Medium

Spaniels - This breed is loyal, playful, and clever.

stay inside with the family. They are happy with regular exercise
and always demand your attention. A backyard or even an apartment
is suitable for the Cocker Spaniel.
Border
Collies- This breed is fairly active. You will need
to have time to walk, train, and give attention to your Border
Collie. They love to be by your side and their favorite game
is catch. Make sure to keep your Border Collie on a leash when
walking because they will chase after birds, kids, or even cars.
Schnauzer-
Schnauzers crave human attention. They love to entertain, but
are not suitable for families with small children. The Schnauzer
makes an excellent watchdog and is always on the lookout for
strangers. If you want a loving, entertaining dog, the Schnauzer
is perfect for you.
Small
Dogs
Pugs
- Pugs are extremely charismatic. They are perfect for families
or single people. Human attention is a must for this breed,
and they are friendly with humans and dogs. Daily walks are
enough exercise for Pugs, and they prefer to be indoors with
their owner.

as long as it gets exercise and attention. They love to play
games with their owner and are known as good watchdogs.

dog to protect its owner.
