The fact that responsibly bred dogs are more predictable is one of their main advantages. However, you still need to carefully consider which breed is the best fit for you if you're looking for such a puppy.
It's crucial to avoid concentrating exclusively on appearances; there are many more factors that affect how compatible you are with your dog.
Possibly the most important factor is your background as an owner. Fortunately, there are plenty of options and individuals who can help you navigate them.
Like Dr. Alexandra Solomon, a relationship therapist who emphasizes the importance of understanding compatibility in any relationship, including with pets. She states,
“Choosing a dog is much like choosing a partner; it requires self-awareness and an understanding of your own needs and lifestyle.”Her insights can guide potential dog owners in making informed decisions that align with their personal circumstances.
Karlee Stark has been a dog trainer for a decade, and due to the commitment some breeds demand, she thinks inexperienced first-time owners should be wary of them.
