friend but also a faithful Guardian in their dog if you're one of those people and you want your pooch to look after your home you should probably consider a Rottweiler Doberman Pinscher or German Shepherd these breeds are natural guard dogs since they don't trust strangers that easily and they'll do a good job at protecting your house now that doesn't mean they won't be funny or cute don't worry they can easily do both you probably won't find a good fit and retrievers though these dogs are usually way too friendly so burglars would be welcome with a wagging tail and slobbery kisses number 11 family friendly dogs if you have a big family full of kids or just welcome to new born into this world it can seem challenging to pick the perfect dog breed of course pretty much every dog loves children but this would be a territory where a Labrador or golden retriever would be completely unbeatable they just adore children and are always ready to play nothing makes them happier than fetching a ball if their size intimidates you consider getting a beagle a Pekinese may not be a good choice though they usually prefer to be the only child in the family number ten athletic dogs if you lead an active lifestyle and love going for a daily jog you probably wouldn't mind having a training buddy around would you consider getting a pointer or a setter since they're pretty much built for running if you want something a bit smaller a Jack Russell Terrier can be a good choice as well it's not a good idea to get an English Bulldog or a pug they'll most probably struggle from over-exercising steer clear of any large stocky breeds to they may be too heavy and the frequent running can damage their joints number nine lap dogs what can be better than chilling out on the couch and watching some TV after a hard day's work if you're looking for a furry cuddle buddy who will always be happy to laze around on the sofa with you a French Bulldog or a Maltese is your perfect fit they'll always be by your side up or in your lap whenever you're reading a nice book or watching your favorite TV show any working breeds are usually completely different they require lots of exercise and activity hence the name number eight dogs for busy singles a lot of people stop themselves from getting a dog because they're constantly out of the house of course generally speaking dogs are social animals but still some breeds deal with being home alone better than others if this describes your lifestyle think about getting a shar-pei or a basset hound retrievers and colleagues on the other hand aren't a good fit for you because they like and require constant socializing and don't forget that any dog needs love and attention you shouldn't get one if you won't be able to spend at least some time with your buddy hmm maybe you should get a cat most of the cats I know could care less if you're around or not but that's just me you haven't forgotten about the lightbulbs have you keep looking number seven dogs for seniors freshmen and sophomores get their own breeds if you're retired and have decided to welcome a dog into your home a good option for you would be a Boston Terrier a pug or a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel boy that's a name they're affectionate and playful without requiring lots of exercise large dogs however can be a little tricky sometimes they're mostly active and need a lot of attention and a sufficient amount of exercise number six dogs for an apartment now if you're living in an apartment there are certain dog breeds that will suit you a bit more than others surprisingly the size doesn't always matter here it's about the dog's temperament if the dog is small it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be happy living in a smaller space consider getting a Yorkshire Terrier or a bulldog if you're interested in chihuahuas you might want to think twice here these dogs are tiny but very active number five dogs for multi pet households if you already have pets at home getting another one is pretty challenging and potentially dangerous you have to choose the breed carefully since you surely want all your pets to get along retrievers collies and spaniels are always happy to have company to play with so they'll likely make a great match with your other pets terriers or breeds typically used in dogfighting can sometimes be a bit complicated without a doubt they have beautiful personalities but unfortunately fighter dogs were bred to be aggressive and competitive it's simply in their nature number four dogs that do well in hot climates most of us love summer but not all dogs will agree if you live in a place where it's hot most of the year you should think carefully about which dog to get surprisingly many Shorthair breeds would seriously struggle in a tropical climate since tolerance to hot weather depends not only on the coat but on the dog's facial structure and size as well most Terriers can take the heat and they come in lots of sizes at the same time st. Bernards Sam Lloyd's and boxers won't feel good in hot weather number three dogs that do well in cold climates if where you live is the complete opposite of the type of climate we just talked about then your options obviously will be different breeds that prefer a colder climate normally have a thick double coat and more body fat so as you can probably guess a good choice is a st. Bernard Malamute husky or Samoyed they feel right at home in cold temperatures Dobermans on the other hand hate the cold number two hypoallergenic dogs now if you're allergic to dog hair you've probably sworn off the idea of ever owning a cane aye but hold on there for a sec dander which is attached to pet hair is the most common cause of pet allergies schnauzers can be a good choice since they're known for producing less dander than other breeds another good option is a poodle and any of its designer cross breeds like labradoodles spoodle x' and the list of GMO doggies goes on just know that your allergies may still act up from time to time but overall it won't be as bad as with the other breeds German Shepherds aren't a good breed for you due to their dry skin which results in a lot of dander buildup the same goes for a long-haired breeze as well or you can always get the dog you want and then just double down on the allergy medicine like I did number one dogs for a newbie getting a dog for the first time ever is both exciting and nerve-racking there are so many breeds to choose from and they're all so cute and adorable if you're new to the dog owning world then a Labrador border collie or poodle will be perfect for you these breeds are very intelligent relatively easy to train and they're not stubborn schnauzers and Terriers require a bit more patience though but they're still great choices the best thing to do is find a good shelter in your area make sure to mention you're a newbie so that they can find you the best fit and next thing you know you'll be coming home with a lucky dog I'll surely become your most loyal friend hey here's my dog meet Riley and here's Riley and his best friend olive the cat they even sleep together this of course breaks all kinds of rules in most of the world regarding pet fraternization but hey we just can't keep them apart so do you already have a dog or are you considering getting one tell us in the comment section below and have you already left a comment with the time stamps of our three well hidden light bulbs we hope so don't forget to give this video a thumbs up share it with your friends and subscribe to our channel if you want to stay on the bright side of life with us see you soon
