Cats and dogs are essential pets in the family today, making life less boring and making yourself less lonely. We can't favor one and the other. Today, we have prepared some knowledge about dogs and will be served to you immediately.

Many newbies often think that as long as they are caring enough, raising a dog is no problem!

To be honest, raising a dog is not as simple as it is. It is not enough to just like dogs to be caring, and there is also a lot of preparation.

Because as a "quasi-tae shoveler", you must understand that it is not that dogs need humans, but that humans need dogs!

A dog is a life, and from the minute we start raising it, we are responsible for it. You may encounter many dogs in your life, but the dog will only have you as its owner in your life.

Therefore, necessary psychological qualities are particularly important. For example: I walk and shovel dogs every day, spend money on raising dogs, barking when I first arrive at home, dog hair loss problems, breaking up houses and biting things, and needing care for them when I get sick.

I have seen such people around me. I can’t put down my dogs in the early stage, but later I find it unbearable, so I finally choose to give up! I slapped my head and started raising dogs. People who pursue freshness and are not responsible should be persuaded to withdraw. Not raising dogs is also a kind of mercy for such people!

Raising a dog costs money. It costs money from early purchase and vaccination to later feeding and care. Dog food, snacks, dog bowls, leashes, deworming, infectious disease vaccines, rabies vaccines, toothpaste and toothbrushes, regular bathing, urine pads, dog kennels, toys, etc., each item is an expense.

Dogs are not as arrogant as cats. Dogs need to spend time with them. The owner should spend at least one hour a day with the dog to do these things: play with them, walk, train, and play games.

If you just keep it at home all day and wait for you to come back alone, then the dog will find various furniture at home to "play" or you will receive a "kind" noise complaint from the neighbor next door at a certain stage.

The biggest problem for novices to raise dogs is how to choose the right dog. In fact, choosing a dog requires not only considering your own budget and the dog's appearance, but the most important thing is to consider the dog's personality and shortcomings. Let's learn about it below.

Because each dog has different personalities and characteristics, but generally speaking, the characteristics of the same breed of dogs are relatively similar, so after analyzing their own characteristics, you can choose what you can raise according to the breed of the dog.

There are many categories of dogs, such as: sheepdogs (including sheep, guard and comprehensive type, etc.), hunting dogs (including group hunting, vision, smell, retrieval, indicator, water hound, etc.); dogs under each sub-item have huge differences in personality, such as: Migru (group hunting, love to bark), Boeingda (indicator dog, not barking), and golden retriever (retrieval dog, jump when you see the river);

However, in general, it can be divided into two major categories: toy dogs and working dogs. Toy dogs are usually super clingy, small in size, and low in sports demand, but they prefer to bark. Working dogs have different sizes, but they usually have a high demand for exercise and are mostly not clingy.

For novices, the following 10 worry-free and easy-to-raise dogs are better choices:

1. Labrador: Labrador is a medium-sized dog, often used as a guide dog for search and rescue, and its IQ ranks sixth in the world dog category. It is honest, cheerful, loyal and gentle, and friendly to children. It is very worry-free to keep it at home.

2. Bichon: The dog hair on Bichon is almost all white, which looks very beautiful, so it is also very good-looking. The Bichon is not picky at all, and it eats whatever the owner gives it. The hair on its body is particularly tough and almost never falls off. Keeping it at home is really worry-free.

3. Border Collie: Border Collie is a very smart dog. It is a dog used to drive herds in Scotland. It has strong learning ability and can communicate and train with its owners. It ranks first in the world in the canine IQ and is also the most popular pet in the city.

4. Schnauzer: The Schnauzer is a small dog. They are smart, lively and energetic. Their hair can be trimmed to help them customize various shapes. Schnauzer has less hair loss, so don’t worry about dog hair flying around at home. Schnauzer is smart, lively and cute. The most important thing is that he is small and comfortable to hold on his body.

5. Golden Retriever: Golden Retriever is also the earliest type of retrieval dog. It is particularly friendly to children. It can also help you take care of children when you are at home. It is good at swimming, enthusiastic, alert and likable.

6. Teddy: Teddy is called a "daughter dog". She is a French national dog. She is petite, curly, lively, agile and elegant, and very approachable. She is easy to get lost with others. It is best to keep it at home.

7. Samoyed: Samoyed is a dog cultivated in Siberia. It is naughty, agile, noble and elegant, and also looks well-behaved and cute. The overall whiteness makes people easily approached. It is also called the "smiling angel".

8. Corgi: Corgi are naughty and clingy, have a high appearance, and have a high IQ. Their biggest highlight is their big butt and short legs. Corgi are very smart dogs. They are also very friendly to children and the elderly. They are very good companion dogs. If you like Corgi, you can keep one.

9. Pugo: The pug is native to China and one of the cute small dogs. The pug does not need training and is suitable for raising in an apartment. He is lazy and does not like sports. The adult pug looks a little bit fierce.

10. Chinese pastoral dog: Chinese pastoral dogs are the most worry-free dogs, commonly known as local dogs, and are generally raised in rural areas. In recent years, they have been raised by many urban families. They are highly loyal and easy to feed. They can find food by themselves when they are kept at home.

In general:

1 If you have children at home, you should give priority to varieties with small size, gentle personality and less exercise.. For example: small and medium-sized dog breeds such as Falcon, Pug, Corgi.

2 If you have more time and your child can go out to play, you can choose a dog with the ability to take care of your children. For example: Shepherd dog, golden retriever, Labrador and other medium-sized dog breeds.

3 Men and women who love outdoors can choose: Biggie, Slipper, Doberman and other medium-sized dog breeds.

4 Comparing otaku/girls can choose: Shiba Inu, Teddy, Shih Tzu and other small-sized dog breeds.

There is no problem with the external factors mentioned above, so let's prepare the dog's urgently needed items in advance:

1 Give a nice name: it should not be too long.

2 Prepare a place for dogs to rest, requiring: quiet, non-humid, well-ventilated, warm in winter and cool in summer, and easy to clean.

3 Dog Cage: I hope to choose a stainless steel dog cage (I don’t recommend using wooden dog cages for puppies, because puppies will grind their teeth and bite and will cause gastrointestinal discomfort). I hope it is beautiful and choose a fence, but you must train your dog's excretion habits well, otherwise the excretion frequency of your puppy will keep you busy.

4 Mattress: The best type of cotton and detachable and washable

5 Toys: Puppies like to bite slippers, sofas, and stools. Therefore, it is also important to provide safe toys.

6 Food: Prepare some dog food, goat milk powder, urine pads, nutritional products, and snacks.

Dogs of different stages and breeds eat different amounts and food ratios. However, excessive diet and food changes in dogs can cause diarrhea to dogs. Do not feed them in large quantities as they like to eat, resulting in nutritional imbalance, picky eating, partial eating or excessive obesity.

7 Tableware: Stainless steel is the best, easy to clean and not easy to damage.

8 Collar leash: Before the dog is 1 year old, choose a preferential leash to overuse. When the dog is formed, choose to buy a mid-to-high-end leash. It is durable and easy to use. Personally, I recommend the chest and back.

9 Beauty supplies: combs, dog soap, dog wash towels.
