A Dog For All!
By Stevio
Dogs have been around for as long as man can remember. And for many of us that's a good thing because our lives have been made that much richer. There seems to be a breed to suit just about anybody. Good job because some of us are hard to please.
Obviously it depends where you live as to just what you can have. It's no good owning a great big like the mighty St Bernard if you live in a flat on the 5th floor of a high rise. Apart from it being cruel it's just not practical in any way shape or form.
No if that's you then a much much smaller like the Chihuahua or a Pug or a Jack Russell is the order of the day.
Obviously another thing to take into consideration is the costs of food and the like. You don't need me to tell you that big Bernie is going to woof down more chunks than little Chuiy.
Chihuahuas eat very little, but feeding costs can still be a bit high, since these dogs are often picky eaters. Recommended feeding for Bernie though is up to 4 cans (13.3oz) of a high-quality meaty product with biscuit added in equal amount or 5 cupfuls of a complete, dry food. This can eat 8-12 cups of food a day. Ouch!
If you're looking for a somewhere in the middle then a Dalmation just might fit the bill. The Dalmation is a 45 to 65 pound that stands 19 to 24 inches in height. This is well muscled without being overly bulky or stocky and has loads of energy. A great to go for if you want a jogging partner.
Mr Rottweiler or St Bernie need a good sized yard to exercise in. Also remember these dogs as a puppy are still quite big dogs, so if you've got little toddlers yourself just be careful they don't get knocked over
