How do we know what dog is best for us?

1 Answer

Answer :

Get the type of dog that has the same lifestyle you do. If you like to exercise, get an active dog. If you like to sleep and stay at home, get a dog that wouldn’t mind being indoors a lot. If you like to go to the ocean and lake, get a dog that like to swim. I have Bleu, Blue Heeler, who is very energetic. He loves to play catch and run around the parks and fields. He especially loves it when we take a trip up to the California Redwoods so that he can explore the trails and smell everything. You know he’s had a good day when he passes out in the living room from being worn out. Our other dog, Angus, a Blue Heeler and Border Collie mix (with I think some Lab), has the exact opposite personality. We got him because we thought he would play with Bleu and they could waste some energy that way. He likes to play for a bit, but after a while he just lays in the grass and sleeps. If we go to the Ca Redwoods, he runs around with Bleu for a bit, then walks next to me. Sometimes he lags behind. Sometime he’ll just stop and sit and wait – his way of telling me “Take me back to the car. I’ll sleep there and wait for you.” If I had gotten Angus first, I don’t think I would have gotten Bleu. Angus is much more the dog for me. Likes to run around for a bit, explore some new things, then nap and relax. Having Bleu keeps me active though, and it’s a ton of fun taking him new places and seeing him so happy to be outdoors.
