Creature Companions|June 2020
Becoming a first-time dog owner is exciting but it can also be a bit overwhelming. There are so many different dogs out there and it's hard to know how to choose the right one. Before you take home the next adorable puppy you see, there are a few things to consider.

Which Breed Is Suitable For First-Time Pet Parents?

CHOOSE A DOG THAT FITS YOUR LIFESTYLE

Make sure you can provide enough exercise for your new dog. If you are looking for a lazy lap dog, then it's best to avoid high-energy dog breeds. If you want a dog that can go for running with you, choose an athletic dog with endurance.

All dogs have basic needs such as house training, socialization, obedience training, and frequent vet visits, but some dogs need more care than others. Consider how much extra time you have, to meet these needs. You may actually prefer a low-maintenance dog breed as your first one.

DOG BREEDS FOR BEGINNERS

There are hundreds of dog breeds out there. Fortunately, each dog breed has a relatively predictable energy level, size, appearance, and grooming needs, while each dog is different. When you know that you are ready to adopt a new friend, following roundup of the best dogs for first-time owners will point you in the right direction. Each of these breeds is known for being easy-going and easy to train. When you decide to bring a furry friend home, you must consult with a professional dog trainer and behaviourist.

TOP 8 BREEDS THAT I RECOMMEND FOR FIRST-TIME PET PARENTS:

1 Bichon Frise

The Bichon Frise is a happy-go-lucky little dog that looks like a bouncy cotton ball. This breed is an all-round great companion. Bichons are fairly easy to train and adapt well to any lifestyle. Be sure to dedicate time and money to regular groomer visits.

2 Boxer
