Dogs of different breeds have certain differences in appearance and behavior, differ in character and activity, so you should think carefully before choosing one or another breed.
PUPPIES OF THE HUNTING BREED WILL BE REQUIRED FOR LONG WALKS AND ACTIVE TRAINING
First of all, determine the size of the dog. A large dog will need much more space in the apartment, in addition, it will be more difficult to deal with it on a walk if it suddenly has a conflict with another dog. If this does not stop you, decide whether you need a dog just as a friend or if you are going to assign security functions to it.
In the first case, it is better to dwell on rocks that are distinguished by a calm, peaceful character, for example, Newfoundland, St. Bernard, etc.
In the second case, it is best to take a Rottweiler, Doberman or Shepherd.
You should not buy a puppy of active breeds, if you are not going to devote most of your free time to walking. This applies to various hunting breeds that like to run for a long time, and a long stay in the apartment will be disastrous for them. For those who cannot cope with an overly active dog, it is best to opt for small breeds of dogs (Pekingese, toy terrier, etc.) who do not run far away for a walk, but try to be close to the owner. A significant drawback of such breeds is the tendency to constant barking, which can cause dissatisfaction with neighbors.
If you are the first time to get a thoroughbred dog, it is best to seek help from a specialist who is in any canine club. He will help to understand the pedigree and choose the most promising puppy from the litter. You can also just get advice at a nearby club.
For lonely people, sociable, well-trained dogs are suitable - such as spaniels, terriers, dachshunds, etc.
