Dog Breeds

Your dog is a specific breed and that breed has certain expectations. Very few dogs were bred to sit around the living room and play with a rubber ball. They are workers hunting, herding and running. As animals, it is their duty to work for food and water. And as dogs, they need the social interaction that was bred into them.

You will need to be just as strict with a toy dog as you would with a pitbull or Rottweiler. They need to be shown that their bad behavior cannot be allowed. Biting, barking or destroying items are the same negative behaviors performed by big dogs.

The breed of your dog is important in determining how they might act. The breed does not make the dog. In some cases, the physical abilities and appearance of a breed can harm them more than anything. As is the case with pitbulls or Rottweilers. They have a reputation for being vicious, but are generally only vicious when their owners train them to be. Or neglect them. In reality, they can be some of the sweetest, best-trained dogs. Remember, when thinking about the breed of your dog, it has an effect on how they might act. But it should never be an excuse for behaviors. Any dog can be a good dog, regardless of natural energy levels or aggressiveness.

So, you will need to ensure you have the time and energy to keep up with the breed you brought home. There are multiple different kinds of breeds, each with its own expectations. Here is a list of our of breeds.
