    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Deciding on a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. The one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's character will reveal itself.

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

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

    The puppies of particular breeds can be very hard work in the early weeks but can make fantastic adult dogs.

    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral
