Puppies and dogs are great pets. They are good companions for human beings too. Dogs could bring out a smile in all of us.
Unfortunately,
not all environments are suitable to adopting just any breed of dog.
This is especially true if you are living in the city where space is
limited and family members have very tight schedule.
Some dogs
require very much attention, exercise and ample of room to move around
and play. Others are more tolerant to those factors. The latter usually
makes a better dog pet for city dwellers.
Here are some,
obviously not all, dog breeds that are suitable for urban living:
- Shih Tzus. This diminutive size dog breed is portable and well-behaved.
They are suitable for city living because they don't take much space
and will not ruin as much things as when you own a sports breed.
- Pugs. This breed is very sociable, usually stubborn about certain
things but they are also charming, clever, and fun. Pugs also get along
with other dogs and pets quite well. They are great household
companions for they don't require demanding care.
- Miniature
poodles. They are clever pets, but should be socialized as soon as
possible as a puppy. Miniature poodles need to be involved in family
activities but should make lovely canine pets.
- Lhasa Apsos.
This breed is naturally happy, playful and intelligent. Because they
are independent, they are often hard to train. Lhasas have excellent
health. When it comes to grooming, they need special attention because
of their coat.
- Labradors. If you are living in the city but
wish to have a sports dogs, then labradors could be the perfect choice.
They learn fast and are very mild mannered. Make sure you can take them
for a walk daily to keep this canine companion in good health.
Other
things to consider when choosing dog breed for urban living is the fact
that they shed a lot or not. This can cause alergy if one of your
family members is sensitive to such thing.
A dog can bring a lot
of happiness to life but you must make sure they are suitable not only
to the environment you live in but also to your lifestyle.
