Your Dogs Temperament
your dogs temperament should match yours don't choose  a breed that is highly energetic if your a couch potato on the other hand if you want a dog that will follow you everywhere around the house and who is  always ready for  a game of fetch or tug of war then you should consider a dog that is highly active and always has a lot of energy instead of one of the lethargic breeds














*Large or Small Dog : You do not have to have own a large house to own a large dog if  you can take him outside for a good hour of two of exercise everyday a large dog can live in small house or apartment just fine.keep in mind that large dogs are more expensive to keep they eat more food which costs you more money Tick and flea preventives cost more for large dogs as do other mediation when large dogs eliminate they eliminate  a lot more than small dogs more goes in and more comes out of large breeds which is something to keep in mind if your dog will live inside especially if you live in a. high rise apartment and  he will have to be litter box trained
Do you have time to exercise your dog: All dogs should get as much exercise as possible a good  walk and a run  everyday  but most small dog  breeds for example toy dogs such a pugs maltese or yorkshire  terriers will get the majority of their required exercise needs  just be walking running and playing around indoors some breeds have so much energy and are so active at hat if you don't give them a sufficent workout everyday a long walk and hard run their  pent up energy will quite likely mainifest  itself in destructive behavior.





so if  you don't have  time to walk your dog everyday choose a breed who does not  have high exercise requirement all of the breeds who require high amounts of exercise make terrific jogging hiking and ridding companions so if you want your dog to accompany you on long runs choose one of these  high active  breeds build for endurance and as much  exercise as you can throw at them they will love you for it.
