    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

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

    Recognizing why a breed was developed, 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 time to cultivate: the boxer's extrovert and playful 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 amazing adult dogs.

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