I think to get a dog. I live alone in a house with 2 rooms. The yard is not fenced, and I plan to build fences. Therefore, should be a family dog who goes by a couple of day trips. I prefer an adult in some place between 2 and 5 years of age. I do not care if she is purebred or mutt. I prefer a small dog to average no more than 50 books, but not a cup of tea or a toy either. I saw a cocker spaniel to the Humane Society Local. That's about 3 or 4 years it seems easy, but not nervous which has been there for a while (I forget why), and castrated and domesticated. We do not think it would be a good match for me, and I agree – except that everything Cocker rage. How prevalent is the problem? Is there a specific age that occurs? Should I have a stray dog instead? What other races should consider? Thank you!
If this dog has been a refuge for some time, must know that if has "rage syndrome." Seen once it is difficult to EMI and lose everything that stress can bring on what would have been immune.
Does anyone have a very dominant Pembroke Welsh Corgi?
I want to know if this is a very common trait with race.
Yes Corgis can be very dominant, mainly due to fund raising. It can be very dangerous to leave this problem to continue. The dog needs a minimum of obedience training, and probably a trained behaviorist. I volunteer in the rescue Corgi and Corgi just read a dominant female who was killed when he tried to attack a mother dog with puppies. The group with the link below is a combination of focused and experienced instructors conduct is a good place to find a qualified person. Please do not take this lightly, for the sake of you and your dog.
It's a long hair Chihuahua be hard for pet allergies?
I want my grandmother to get a dog, but who have allergies to animals. Cats, Bad, dogs, not too bad. She lives alone in a building that allows small dogs. I want to find some something nice. I know that Chihuahuas are generally not allergic dogs, but a long-haired chihuahua be? If not, please give me some other ideas? Thank you!
I would say a short-haired chihuahua, not only because as much pollen and dirt can get into the hair.
Your dog will become a great companion to you, but, your dog can also be a lot of work for you. There is no such a dog that requires no work from you, but choosing the right dog for you can keep your problems to a minimum.
So how do you know what is the easiest dog for you?
There really is no such thing as a very best dog breed – everyone looks for something different in their pets depending on their own situation at the time. One example is, when my husband and I worked, we had two miniature long haired dachshunds, when my husband became disability retired and stayed home all day, we got a black lab and a golden retriever. The time was right!
Some breeds are better if you require a low maintenance dog. For example: Hounds, such as greyhounds and whippets, generally love to be a couch-potato, despite their talent for speed. They are also very mellow dogs, and great for adoption. Standard poodles have a great personality, are very smart and have a calm demeanor. Bonus! They do not shed. Hence, the new breed of the “Doodle” dogs, like Labradoodle, or Goldendoodle. Both these are crosses between the poodle and another breed, making them low maintenance in the grooming department. Also low maintenance: pug, Shih Tzu, English cocker spaniel, but, be careful, some of these dogs need training to keep them from barking your neighbors into oblivion.
Keep away from breeds such as hunting breeds, herding breeds, or any working dog breed. Unless you are an active person, these dogs are not for you. They need lots of exercise and even mental stimulation. They are after all working dogs.
One way to have fewer problems is to adopt an adult dog that already comes housetrained, and even trained for many other activities. A dog that is two or three years old probably is already housebroken and no longer teething. That is what we did, we adopted a 3 year old black lab.
An older dog is also calmer than a puppy. And, Female dogs are easier to handle most of the time.
Where To Find A Dog
Go to your local Rescue Shelter, or Animal Shelter. These institutions work hard to match you with the right dog, and, they also look after their dog to make sure it goes to a good home. Adopting a dog is not for saving money; it’s about saving a dog.
Another tip: Talk to breeders and to dog owners once you have decided what breed you want. People are more than happy to tell you about their pets.
Enjoy your journey with your new canine friend. A dog is a companion for life, especially if you put thought into the process before you acquire your dog.

Hello I’m Ben Parker. I created this site because I love dogs. And believe that it is our job as humans to care for the animals on this planet. But mostly what I see is abuse and neglect. The biggest one that I see is the food we feed our pets. Did you know that most of the food we feed our dogs (or we get from the store) is made of corn.
Dogs can’t digest corn and it has petroliem products in it, as in the same stuff they make gasoline out of. Dogs can live 20 or more years, but they don’t because the food they eat slowly poisions them. Any way sorry to go off on a tangent, I just passionate about taking car of our dogs the right way.
