    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Selecting a dog can be both perplexing and exciting. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Recognizing why a breed was created, and the country and climate it originally came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and temperament.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take some time to develop: the boxer's playful and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of certain breeds could be very hard work in the early weeks but can make fabulous adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Dunker Temperament Personality

Dunker Information

The Dunker has a clean, noble, long head with parallel planes of the skull and muzzle, carried low and not wedge-shaped. Its skull is slightly domed with a defined stop and clean cheeks, the muzzle is long and square-cut with a straight and broad nasal bridge, and its teeth are evenly spaced with a scissors bite. The Dunker has a black nose with wide nostrils, round, large, and dark eyes, and low-set, wide, flat, ears that hang close to the head and to the middle of the muzzle. The Dunker's coat is straight, hard, dense, and not too short, with the most desirable colors being black or blue marbled with pale fawn and white markings. Less desirable are warm brown or predominant black reaching from the muzzle and beyond the hock joint, a black mask, and overmarked white, and more than fifty percent white color is a disqualification.

This is quite a friendly and relaxed breed. It will provide these traits only to owners who will offer lots of activity.
