Dog Personalities

I guess I do know about dogs. I am pretty good at understanding them. I feel like a dog trainer when it comes to mine. First thing is to evaluate your environment. The house space, other pets, the people that will be around. Be sure that you can afford them also. They need shots and to be spayed or neutered. Some shots need to be done after a few years. Then its a good idea to learn about the different breeds and which one will be most compatible with your personality. My family prefers Pit Bulls because they are very smart and loving. And I also prefer female dogs. They have a bad rap but any dog can be aggressive. I am more fearful of Doberman pinchers and rotweilers. I like knowing where they come from and how their parents were. Then when you get your pup, you have to have so much time for them. They are like babies. And wake in the night whining for a while. Crates are a necessity. Its not mean and they actually like it. Their instinct is to be in a den if they were out in nature. And it keeps them safe from any dangers in your home. They need proper activity, and toys also. Use your instinct in raising them and they will be very connected to you. If you go to a shelter spend time with the dogs before selecting and ask lots of questions to the people that have been working with them. I hope that helps you. With the right choice you will have a great time with your new family addition. And give your pet a forever home.

Haha That is funny! Ours still is that way mostly. ( like a puppy) But her size I am pretty sure for now is normal. She smiles like that too! The corners curl right in. She gets all hyper when she smells another animal on one of us.

She was not playful as a pup, she was very clingy to me. She was the last one there so thats how we chose her. Always needing to be right next to me and then was happy. But seemed depressed when she wasnt. She cant stay outside alone without staring in the windows or standing right by the door. When she comes in we gate her by the door to dry off her feet and she just stands there looking at us. She is not mean at all though. She loves meeting new dogs and people. Only slightly leary of men when she first sees them. But will easily be introduced to them. She will do whats told, but mainly by me. Just acts like she will fall apart when she gets scolded. We have not used spanking as discipline but she acts like it.

I am not sure. I wonder about there being spirits in the house. As sometimes I think that they are here. One day she was barking at nothing and that was the same thing that this other red nosed pit that we were watching did. A dog reader(?) told me that she is most likely taking on my feel of depression that I had when I first got her. I was really down and the lady told me that my dog feels the need to protect me and take on my emotions as to relieve them off me. Does that make sense to you? Kinda did to me.

I think that I will for sure bring it up. But I bet they really wont know. A behavioralist would be better to understand I bet. It seems like she is lonely I guess.

Medically its normal. She just seems sad. Or like she is a reincarnate of a person. I am not usually one to really think on that, but thats really the best way that I an explain her disposition.

I adore my dog, I am so happy to have her. She is perfect in many ways. I just wish she would not look so depressed and be so incredibly needy. I was very depressed when I got her though. A dog healer and intuit-or told me that she feels like she has to take on my problems. I never thought of that, but it does make sense.
