So, what size dog do you think you want???
Generally, a large dog is not really made for an apartment, for elderly owners, or for mild-mannered people. However, keep in mind there are some large, agile dogs that adapt well to apartment or condo living as long as they get a daily walk, and some are gentle enough that anyone with a firm voice and manner can easily handle them.
Medium size dogs may seem adaptable to any situation and lifestyle because they are in the median size range ~ however, this is one of the most incorrect perceptions ever made when deciding what type of dog to bring home.
Small dogs may be unsuitable for families with active children or elderly or relatives that are sick who could trip over a small, bouncy critter. Many people think small dogs are ideal because of their size, but do not stop to think about how active they really are.
As we get further into this blog and really break down the different breeds, etc., we will cover this topic more thoroughly and discuss the size vs. breed issue to really determine which dog is best for you and your household.
