Advantages Of Small Dogs As Pets
Dogs bring many benefits to their owners. Dogs provide great companionship, they can significantly reduce your stress levels, improve your blood pressure, they love unconditionally, lift your mood, and provide an excellent incentive to exercise more. If you want to meet more people, there's nothing like a dog for bringing strangers together, particularly fellow dog lovers. And if you've got kids, dogs can teach them how to be responsible and care for others.
One of the first questions you should think about if you want to purchase a new puppy is, what type of dog should you get - large or small?
Of course, if you don't have a big yard or live in an apartment where they regulate the size dog you can keep, you may have to get a small dog. But even if you are blessed with a large backyard, there are a number of advantages to getting a small dog that are very relevant in some circumstances.
Smaller dogs won't feel as threatening to cats or young children do make great family pets, even better than some small breeds. Breeds like the Tibetan Spaniel dog breed, maltese, chihuahuas, and miniature poodles, and similar breeds, are not really suited to families with small children.
For older people, a small dog is a more realistic choice. The same is true for individuals who are sick or frail, or just not very strong. Large dogs will be tougher to handle physically, a situation which may occur during those moments when he doesn't obey commands. To illustrate, walking an excited, large dog on a leash is not going to be easy if your dog becomes impervious to anything but the pursuit of a car or another dog. And of course, there will be occasions when you'll need to pick up your canine friend. If you don't live with someone who can do it for you, this could become a problem, particularly when your dog gets old. Will you be able to handle him to check his teeth, and be able to provide a strong pack structure by being the top dog.
Another factor to think about is that large dogs need more exercise as a rule, although some smaller dogs also need a lot of exercise as well. This is especially true of working dogs that also come in small sizes, such as the border collie dog breed. Border collies are very high energy, smart and active dogs. They were bred to herd sheep and cattle, and as a result have very high stamina and endurance. They can run for hours, although as a pet owner, a couple of hours of exercise - both physical and mental, ideally - would be sufficient. So, if you're a person who works long hours, unable to devote the time to your dog, a border collie or similar would be an inappropriate pet.
If you've got a family with kids and you'd like a small dog, you could consider: Kerry Blue Terriers, boston terriers, border terriers, English Cocker Spaniels, Miniature Australian Bulldogs, Miniature English Bulldogs, Miniature Australian Shepherds, and bichon frise}. And small dogs like the French bulldog, which are happy and easygoing dogs that love their humans, and do not require much exercise, are best for the elderly.
