Dog Breed Characteristics - Medium-Sized Dogs
from:Not too sure which type of dog to buy? This is part 2 of 3
articles that addresses the different needs and characteristics
of some of the popular dogs. Look out for my other 2 articles
'Dog Breed Characteristics - small dogs' and 'Dog Breed
Characteristics - large dogs'.
Bulldog
This is a commonly misunderstood dog. Although its name and
appearance (and those cartoons that depict fierce bulldogs)
suggest that it is not-so-friendly, it is generally friendly and
docile. Due to this nature, they get along well with children
and other dogs. They love attention and are really loyal
creatures. They can also be easily trained. They need daily
exericse and overweight bulldogs can lead to health problems
related to the heart and lungs. Interestingly, it was used in
the 1600s for bullbaiting, but has since lost its aggressiveness
after the sport was outlawed.
Dalmatian
This is probably one of the most filmed breed (think 101 and you
get what I mean) and you cannot miss it with its trademark white
coat with black spots. It is believed to be one of the oldest
breed around and they are generally free from illness. They
usually get sick with old age. Note that Dalmatians are dogs
with lots of energy and they require frequent exercise. You
should not buy a Dalmatian if you do not have the time to take
care of it.
Siberian Husky
Originated from Siberia, it has a thick-furry coat and tail. It
looks very much like its ancestor, the wolf. They are known to
howl rather than bark. Because of their intuitive hunting
nature, they make good hunting dogs. They are also stubborn
creatures and proper obedience training is needed. Siberian
Huskies are very intelligent and are therefore popular with dog
shows. They are also used in sled dog racing because of their
high level of fitness.
Australian Shepherd
It was not originated from Australia as its name suggests, but
was brought up on ranches in the United States. It is a popular
herding dog, but has slowly made its way into homes due to its
obedience and eagerness to please its owners. It is usually a
sweet and affectionate dog which is faithful to its owners and
is great with children. There are, noticeably, two distinct
types of personalities. One is an energetic dog that requires
frequent exercise and enjoys doing tricks, while the other
enjoys being a couch potato. Due to their herding nature, they
bark warnings when they notice anything unusual. Intelligent and
good with tricks, they make good pets.
Poodle
They are considered one of the most intelligent breeds of dog.
They can be easily recognised with very short hair around the
body, except for the head, legs and tail (google for the
pictures). Owners can choose to groom their own poodles in any
way they like, but I think they look funny though. Poodles are
known to be active. They can get bored easily and have been
known to create bad mischief. In general, they are eager to
please and are easy to train. They make good pets for those
families with children.
