    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

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

    Knowing 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 personality.

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

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

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

Picardy Spaniel Information

Typical examples of the breed measure between 22–24 inches (56–61 cm) at the withers, with the average weight between 20–25 kilograms (44–55 lb). The breed is similar in size to the English Setter, although is slightly smaller. Of the Spaniel type breeds, only the Large Münsterländer and Drentse Patrijshond are recognised as possibly growing to larger sizes, with the Drentse measuring 21.5–25.5 in (55–65 cm), and the Münsterländer slightly smaller with a narrower range at 23–25 in (58–64 cm).

The Picardy Spaniel is a docile breed of dog and is fond of playing with children and bonds well with their master. It is described as having a gentle sociable nature, possessing a good character and being relatively easy to train. In France, the breed is used for hunting in wooded areas for Pheasants, and in swamps for Snipes. However it can also be used for hunting ducks, hares and rabbits. The breed excels at hunting in marshes and will not hesitate to jump into water. It can also adequately serve as a retriever should it be required. The dog is content with a small amount of space and could suit life in the city, but also loves open spaces.
