>> Choosing the right breed for you
Oh, of course. Because EVERYTHING is all about YOU! Nothing holds a candle to YOU. And all of YOUR neuroses and preferences and “conditions” and etc.
damned narcissistic society
If you are mismatched with your dog, you won’t be happy with it as much and it won’t be happy with you.
It’s often the reason why dogs end up with the pound. They were not a good match for the lifestyle of the owner.
Somewhere, I suspect there are people who feel qualified to be Matchmakers between Pet & Master. A Dog Whisperer who also listens to people for key traits.
Or perhaps they study the horoscopes of both Pet & Master.
They probably charge a hefty fee for all their skills.
I don’t know if most dogs can have their Palms read.
Exactly... I had a T-shirt made up that says EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HUSBAND DO NOT PET. It’s fun to wear around the safe space, coloring book, emotionally unstable crowd.
well, I think it is important for the dog as well
Anyone who adopts a Belgian Malinois or Rhodesian Ridgeback MUST be prepared to be very active and take the dog for walks, training etc. daily - those are smart dogs and hyperactive.
anyone who has a Rotweiler or Doberman or German shepherd must set aside time for training and acclimitization. I’m not even going to mention people adopting mastiffs or Caucasian ovcharec.
Finally, there are breeds who can’t leave your side and get depressed if you are away for a long time - don’t get them and break their hearts.
