Dog Breed Characteristics - Large Dogs
from:Not too sure which type of dog to buy? This is part 3 of 3
articles that addresses the different needs and characteristics
of some of the popular dogs. Look out for my other 2 articles on
'Dog Breed Characteristics - small dogs' and 'Dog Breed
Characteristics - medium-sized dogs'.
Giant Schnauzer
The Giant Schnauzer is a large, powerful, dominant dog which
needs a firm, consistent but friendly owner. They can be good
with children if obtained since young and trained. Early and
consistent training is necessary as Giant Schnauzers tend to be
very wilful. They like to run around, and don't usually see
people in their way and can injure children easily. They need a
lot of exercise and busy professionals should avoid getting this
breed. If they are denied of exercise and left on their own,
they can get very destructive.
Golden Retriever
One of my favourite breeds as well. They are well known for
their "patience, kindness and friendliness", and thus serve
poorly as a guard dog. However, they are extremely good with
children and can be trained easily. Golden Retrievers are very
attached to their owners. Leaving them alone in a room can cause
the dog to become very sad and distressed. Frequent grooming is
needed to reduce the amount of shedding. Intelligent and eager
to please, they are also employed in rescue missions, drug
detection missions, and serve well as guide dogs for the blind.
Great Dane
Great Danes are well known for their huge size and gentle
personality. They have been in the Guinness World Records for
the tallest dog. They are generally good with humans (including
strangers) and other pets. Grooming is minimal. They need
regular exercise because they possess a good amount of energy.
Old English Sheepdog
They are best known for their shaggy grey and white fur which
also covers their face, including their eyes. They intelligent,
funny, sociable, and adaptable. They are also good with young
children, and hence earned the title "Dear Nanny". Owing to
their herding instinct, they have been known to push family
members away from dangerous objects or people. They can also get
very stubborn at times. They are often known as the Dulux dog,
as a result of them appearing in the advertising of Dulux paint.
Labrador Retriever
They are exceptionally gentle, intelligent, energetic and
good-natured, and Labradors are generally considered good
companions for people of all ages. They are comparable to the
Golden Retrievers. They respond well to praise and attention,
and with proper training , the Labrador is one of the most
trustworthy, obedient and multi-talented breeds in the world.
They love to play in water, so be sure to bring them to the
beach often. Due to their friendly nature, they are not suitable
as guard dogs. However, an uncontrolled adult Labrador can get
really problematic. So, be sure to give them the proper dog training.
