Choosing A Dog Breed

As a dog trainer, I have always wanted to put together a dog breed list for those wanting to choose a dog breed for their particular situation.

I believe that there are certain characteristics in choosing a dog breed that would make a particular dog breed right or wrong for a given family.

Those characteristics include:

• Dog personality and temperament.
• Ability to train.
• Grooming.
• Proper environment.
• Ability to naturally interact with children.
• Working characteristics (What it was originally bred for.).
• Need for freedom and exercise.
• Adaptability to the electronic dog fence.

I have begun this undertaking and will address the various breeds here on the Contain-A-Pet Electronic Pet Fence site.

Please realize that these characteristics are provided as general information and to be used as a guide only.

Each dog has its own distinct personality and temperament that make it who he or she is and does not necessarily reflect the breed standards. I am sure you or someone you know has experienced owning dogs of the same breed yet their personalities were very different. That is because each dog is unique and special in its own way.

Feel free to add comments to any of the breed listings if you have something to contribute. Just maybe we can help someone choose the dog breed that is right for them.
