Choosing a Dog

Let's find answers to a few questions

When choosing a dog you have to think that owning a Dog is not just a privilege, it is a responsibility. These adorable animals depend on us for every single need, being food and shelter some of them.The excitement your dog shows when you come home, the wagging of the tail at the sound of the leash being taken from the hook and, the one I like the most, when she puts her head on my lap, are only a few rewards of owning a dog.

When to bring to your home you will have many questions to answer.

First question is which breed? There are so many to choose from. But since my love is the poodles I will dedicate this site to this breed only.In the following pages I will try my best to explain all I know concerning my lovely poodle.

Dog Breeds

Please take into consideration when choosing a dog, the difference among the doog breeds. Some like the poodles require lots of dedication and time.

Grooming the poodles is budget by itself. You have to walk it several times a day.You have to decide if this is the breed for you as it was for me for so many years.

Puppy or adult

First let’s talk about the environment where you live. If you live in an apartment you should consider a Puppy Poodle when choosing a dog.

It’s true the puppies need special attention and a lot of patience, but at the end you’ll get the deserved gratification for your work.

Because you will train your puppy from scratch and it will grow without bad manners that an adult dog may bring from some other place. As for the apartment I recommend a Toy Poodle o a Miniature Poodle.

But, if you live in a big house you can go for a Standard Poodle that are great companions.

Male or female

There are no studies or evidence that a male is more intelligent than a female and viceversa. I think this is a personal decision. Here I will give you some points for you to consider and make the right decision for you.

* It is more expensive to spay a female than to neuter a male

* Female dogs are supposed to be easier to train that the males.

* Female dogs are likely to be more docile

* There are mixed opinions on whether the female is more affectionate than the male

* A female dog can hold the need to urinate as long as 12 hours, that’s great for working people and when nobody is at home during the day.

* When walking the dog the female usually empties herself only once, while the female may do it many times.

We must note,that all the Poodle Experts,and we along with the AKC and the Poodle Club of America do believe that mixed breeding should not be done.

WHY? Because each time it is, the Poodle line loses a bit of its strength. It is only trough careful breeding that the Poodle line can continue to be perfected and strengthened.

However, to be fair to both sides on this issue, the American Canine Hybrid Club argues that many of the breeds we know of and love today, are a direct result of cross breeding's in history…."were it not for this", we would not have many dogs that are so popular.
