Size. The size of the dog in a large extent determines its strength. It is believed that the dog is about three times stronger than the same weight of the person, i.e. 20-pound dog will force equal to 60 kilogram man. However, some species are even more power, such as terriers.
For example, if a woman with a weight of 52 kg wants to get a dog, which will be able to handle, it should pay attention to the breed, whose representatives in adulthood does not exceed 17-20 kg. If you choose a dog for a child, it does not matter - for walking or sports, you need to pick up the rock, commensurate with your child.
True strength is not the only factor that determines the degree of control dogs, as there are many large dogs , which by their nature or as a result of training is so docile that they managed quite easily , regardless of their size . If you are planning to have a dog that is a cross between different breeds , you have to analyze the dimensions of each of its component species.
In general, with a large dog you will need to devote more time to her training, and to develop their skills in managing its behavior , especially in public places. In large dogs with a tendency to slower maturation. In addition, they can cause much more damage to the home than small dogs as they mature over the period is extended in time.
Large dogs can do more damage when attacking people or enter into a fight with other dogs. In addition , they can knock down if they jump in a greeting to people , so they need to be trained not to jump on people.
Large dogs can walk on a leash to pull you over , ie you need to make more effort to teach your pet to walk beside you on a loose leash without tension. If a large dog belongs to a breed that requires grooming , it will require more careful grooming and more time on the process itself, ie, you have to teach her a long time to stand still and calmly accept cosmetic procedures .
Grooming . The dog's coat can present us amazing surprises. Magnificent poodle obviously need professional care . If you have chosen a good poodle from a good breeder , and he found a professional groomer , you still have to be trained in the care of his hair. A good groomer teach your dog how to behave during regular beauty treatments , which undoubtedly is one of the secrets of fine character , which demonstrate the many poodles .
Dogs that are not provided with the necessary professional care for their hair, can ruin your character . Wool straying into mats that pull the skin and damage it. In the resulting injuries often settle insect larvae . When the host wants to pat a dog , she demonstrates a defensive aggressive behavior, fear of any touch that is able to hurt her. If your dog requires a professional grumerskogo care , you should always provide it , and between visits to the groomer you may have to comb your hair to prevent tangles.
For long-haired dogs are characterized by a high body temperature , depending on the quality of their wool. Body temperature depends on how close the dog wants to be in contact with people. Thus , short-haired dogs like to climb into bed with his owners and bask under the covers , especially for small breeds (toy) , which is especially important to keep your body warm . So if you dream of a dog , " warmer " , pay attention to the small short-haired breed. However, you 'll need to train your dog to learn to wear special dog clothing that will protect her from the cold in the street while walking .
Long-haired dogs may have different attitudes toward the master's affection . So , if you provide your dog regular grooming , it seems , will adore when you iron it . If the dog is covered with unkempt hair , her skin may be too sensitive to any touch, so before you pat a dog , you should provide it with the necessary grooming .
You should carefully consider the requirements for grooming any breed you are considering as your pet.
The level of activity. A very active dog , of course, is different from the behavior of the more calm. You should pay attention to this, because many people find very active dogs too intrusive and they need more of a " cushion " .
For some people it is very important that the dog did not take away their furniture . Therefore, it is best to choose a small dog , for which the space in the room will be sufficient for gaming, and while it will not break the furniture . Or you may come to mind agile little dog that will run around the house without harming your environment.
The big advantage for active species is their ability to self- training. So the dogs simply provide some space and some interesting toys that they can themselves provide the necessary exercise. This is especially important for those who have several dogs . However, some dogs can not train yourself, so you'll need to make some effort to maintain their physical fitness.
To assess the level of activity of the breed and how it will fit you , you 'll have to try to learn as much as you can about the breed , and it is better to watch it in person. For example , you can offer to sit with the dog in the absence of the owners . The practical experience of dealing with it will provide you with invaluable help in proper choice .
Protection and defense of the territory . In any dog has a natural instinct to protect and guard their territory. One of the components of this instinct is the instinct of self-preservation and the protection of their flocks .
Male, who barks at people walking up to the fence of his flock ( family) , guards his territory . If next to it is a bitch who is trying to get closer to the fence , and he does not let her go to him - he protects her . It is thus to be between it and the potential intruder . If you watch such a scene between two dogs that usually get along well with each other, you'll notice that quickly gives way to a bitch " aggression " by the dog , because it understands the cause and the fact that it is directed to its defense.
This same behavior can become redirected aggression when the dog behind a fence overexcited something on the other side. Such a situation may be dangerous to dogs if their hierarchical position in the pack is not defined, for example , if you have two dogs of the same sex who are still undecided with who one is the leader.
The problem in cases of danger may be a manifestation of guarding instinct in some breeds in which it was made by breeding a special emphasis . Some people need a dog with a moderately developed guarding instinct , others need a reliable security guard and protector .
Be very careful when choosing a breed. Pay particular attention to the presence of her protective qualities , or in an exaggerated way , they can cause a tragedy.
