According to a famous saying, a dog is a man's best friend.

But, not all breeds will feel good in the city. Today we will analyze the criteria that should be taken into account when choosing.

Pet and apartment size

It is important to make sure that the dog feels comfortable in the apartment. Large animals require long walks, training and exercise. It is desirable to have a park, forest or square near the house.

Combination of pet and owner temperament

All dog breeds, like people, have their own temperament. They differ in mobility, ability to train and many other factors. Not all people will be suited to a hyperactive dog that wants to walk all day.

Children and other animals

When choosing a dog, it is important to consider the breed's attitude towards other pets and children. Despite this, there are those who love children, even small ones, and will become their best friends.

Cleanliness of the breed and care

Some breeds require regular medical treatments, medications and vitamins, special food, exercise, brushing, and washing after walks.

Think about whether you are ready for this mentally and financially, or choose another breed.

Tendency to bark frequently and noise isolation

Many dogs, such as beagles and Yorkies, bark and yelp constantly to express their excitement or joy.

If you live in a panel house and the sound insulation leaves much to be desired, we advise you to reconsider your choice in order to avoid problems with your neighbors.
