First, let’s see what kind of dog you need~ First of all, dogs are divided into several major categories, and standards differ by country. Dogs are divided into working dogs, companion dogs, pointing dogs, scenthounds, herding dogs, and terriers. Working dogs are generally smarter, easier to train, and more obedient. They have practical value. Companion dogs are generally prettier but less intelligent, hard to train, poorly obedient, but very attached to their owners.
Pointing dogs are generally smart, energetic, somewhat active. Training is possible, highly obedient, and mostly good-looking. Scenthounds are generally very smart, extremely energetic, very active, and greedy. They cannot be trained (although smart, they have poor self-control). They are very attached to their owners but don’t obey commands outdoors. Most are quite pretty, Herding dogs are very smart, very energetic, mostly trainable, and highly obedient.
Very attached to their owners. Terriers are very smart, active, like digging holes. Cannot be trained, poorly obedient, not very attached to owners. The above are general rules of thumb; of course, there are exceptions. Below are introductions to common breeds. Herding dogs; Collie; mostly gentle in temperament, trainable. Very obedient to owners. Well-behaved outdoors, no trouble. Prices were blindly speculated at dog markets in the past two years.
Now prices have dropped, so it’s a good time to buy. Disadvantage: won’t guard the home. Belgian Shepherd; timid personality, very smart, trainable. Does not like strangers except owners. Will guard. Likes to bark. Old English Sheepdog; gentle and generous temperament, trainable. Very friendly to everyone, well-behaved outdoors, adaptable to any environment. Does not guard. German Shepherd: a misunderstood dog! Stable temperament, very easy to train.
