Choosing the right dog for yourself

   Many people keep pet dogs not based on their own understanding but because others say they are good or they follow the crowd. In fact, keeping a pet dog cannot rely on a whim; for dogs, the owner is everything, so having a pet dog is a responsibility. Finding the most suitable pet dog for yourself is responsible to both yourself and your dog.

       1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Purebred and Mixed Breed Dogs

   If you want to keep a purebred dog, you need to pay attention to the dog's prone diseases and preferably take preventive measures in advance. Although mixed breed dogs have obvious advantages in this regard, their unpredictable appearance still discourages some people. In fact, purebred dogs are not suitable for every family; these factors all require comprehensive consideration based on personal preferences, living environment, economic conditions, and so on.

       2. Big Differences Between Male and Female Dogs

   Generally speaking, male dogs are more lively than female dogs. Female dogs are gentler but their care also involves pregnancy and birthing. Do you have enough energy and endurance?

       3. Troubles of Long Hair and Short Hair

   The pros and cons of long-haired dogs mainly relate to their fur. Although beautiful in appearance, some people cannot bear their need for frequent grooming and tendency to shed. Short-haired dogs do not have these issues, but they are more prone to skin diseases than long-haired dogs. Some netizens say that long-haired dogs are gentler than short-haired dogs, but this depends on the individual dog and cannot be generalized.

       4. Considering Size

   Large dogs need more activity space and longer exercise time than small dogs. Additionally, large dogs eat more and cost more. If you want your dog to live happily without compromising yourself, you may need to make a careful plan.

       5. Breed Differences Lead to Huge Price Gaps
