Yorkshire Terrier dogs by Clemens
Yorkshire Terriers are going to need to see a vet at least once a year. Most dogs visit more than once a year. Yorkshire Terrier rescues often get older puppies because that's when the reality of caring for the puppy sets in. May people who buy them sadly haven't a clue about what Yorkshire Terrier puppy care is all about. Yorkshire Terrier is a hypoallergenic dog and isn´t good for children with allergy. The breed is known for its long hair coat that does not shed and do not have odors like short hair dogs. Yorkshire Terrier puppies are not going to grow taller than six to seven inches even when they become adults and another noticeable attribute is their long as well as fine and silky coat. In addition, the Yorkie puppy is not going to hang about the house, because he is an active breed though he only has an average rate of learning. Yorkshire Terrier haircuts are recommended, as this will make regular upkeep much easier. Fewer knots and less matting will make daily brushing and regular bathing less time consuming. Yorkshire Terrier grooming, along with exercise and temperament, are all characteristics that any prospective dog owner must take into consideration before buying a dog. Proper grooming has much more impact than on just the physical look of our dog, as keeping your dog looking great is going to keep their confidence up and make them more sociable as well.

Rottweiler dogs
Rottweiler dogs by Clemens
Rottweilers are themselves a result of crossbreeding back in the days of the Roman Empire and were thought to have originated in Italy. Rottweilers are also often purposefully crossed with Doberman Pinschers, which are close to Rottweilers in temperament, looks and needs. The result is called a Rotterman (I guess that's better than Pinscherweiler). Rottweilers were bred to run about all day, protecting his master's farm and property. They were also bred to look very intimidating, but to be gentle with the people he is charged to protect. Rottweiler dogs go crazy when left all by themselves, such as when they are chained in someone´s back yard as a cheap security system. If they do not get proper exercise, they will find ways of burning up their considerable energy, including destroying your home. Rottweilers began to be used by the military in World War I and II as police and guard dogs. Unfortunately, many also were trained to be hostile and aggressive to dogs and people. Any large dog needs a healthy diet and regular exercise to help curb the energy.

Pit bull dogs
Pit bull dogs by Clemens
Pit bulls can often dig out of a pet fencing area if the dogs are kept outside. Owners need to be aware of how extensively their pit bulls will dig. Pit Bulls serve as narcotic and bomb sniffing dogs. The number one biting dog is not a pit bull but a german shepherd. Pit Bulls have large neck and shoulder muscles (the dog equivalent of the weightlifter or quarterback), so it´s not their locking jaw that makes their bite so strong it´s their huge bulky muscles. Pit bulls far outnumber any other kind of purebred dog in almost every shelter in this country. This is because of a combination of pit bull breeder irresponsibility and pit bull owner irresponsibility. Pit bulls that do show truly aggressive behavior towards humans are not typical of the breed and in some cases, should be humanely euthanized. Pit Bulls have a tendency to be dog-aggressive, so socializing them at a young age is a must, so no one will growled of them and no one will try to bite a person.

Mastiff dogs
Mastiff dogs by Clemens
Mastiffs will do OK outside, but home is best suited for them. They are very sociable and cannot bear loneliness. Mastiffs can suffer from dry skin, so I recommend a dandruff or tar-based shampoo. Mastiffs get these due to their sheer size and that they use their knees and elbows to raise themselves off the ground. Mastiff's are great dogs and wonderful family companions. They are loyal, lovable, and naturally protective. Mastiff availability is low there, as well as in the US. Yet, clubs and other Mastiff organizations are doing their best to educate the public about these remarkable dogs and stimulate their distribution. Breeders are very proud of the dogs they breed. Mastiff can mean you may even have to consider bigger personal transport if you and the family do a lot of travelling. Consider whether you are prepared to spend the money not only to purchase your Mastiff, but also to house it properly, support it and keep it healthy into its old age. When dogs are judged equal in type, proportion and movement, the more substantial dog, in terms of substance and bone, not merely height, is to be given preference.

Maltese dogs
Maltese dogs by Clemens
Care should be taken with Maltese and very young children. Since Maltese are small, they could be injured with rough handling. Care must be taken not to have this dog around kids playing roughly, because it is a fragile and gentle creature, it can get hurt easily. The Maltese coat requires daily brushing and combing to prevent matting. The coat is extremely soft and silky, so gentle care is highly recommended as the hair breaks easily. Bathe regularly, ensuring that the coat is dried thoroughly and the dog is kept warm. They may be intelligent, but they are one of the most difficult to train. Training sessions will only strengthen your bond with your puppy. It will make his life and yours much happier.

Gordon Setter dogs
Gordon Setter dogs by Clemens
Gordon Setters are very loyal and affectionate with their families, and make great family pets. They get along very well with children, but smaller children should be watched, not because the dog can't be trusted, but more because the dogs are so playful and puppy-like that they may unintentionally push the child down. Gordon Setter males measure 24 to 27 inches at the shoulder and weigh up to 80 pounds. Females are smaller, measuring 23 to 26 inches at the shoulder. Gordon setters have tan on their feet and lower legs, vents, and muzzles, and two distinctive tan spots on their chests. With a well-defined sense of smell, intelligence and keen ability to track the Gordon setter is a worthy companion for any small game hunter. Gordon Setters need training from an early age. Gordon Setters are protective of their family and children but are not aggressive unless they, or someone they love is being threatened. Gordon Setters love a good long run, however, daily walks will suffice.

Golden Retriever Dogs
Golden Retriever Dogs by Clemens
Golden Retrievers reach their full height around one year of age and full weight around age two, though many owners comment that their dogs retain their puppyish nature for life. This is a large breed very similar in appearance to the yellow Labrador Retriever, especially when young. Golden Retrievers are among the most popular family pets in the United States. They were originally bred as hunting dogs, but quickly gained a reputation for being a great family dog because of their gentle and easy going temperament. Golden retriever dogs have a lot of energy. This is probably what makes them such good guide dogs. Golden Retrievers are fairly easy dogs to maintain, but they need to shed a great deal of coat during the spring or other times. Consequently, they need to be faithfully brushed. A bad side is that Golden Retrievers may also be born with eye defects and/or develop hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia refers to hip joints that aren't formed properly and this condition is fairly common in many larger dog breeds. Golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD), the canine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), is caused by a splice site mutation in the dystrophin gene. This mutation predicts a premature termination codon in exon 8 and a peptide that is 5% the size of normal dystrophin.

German Shepherds
German Shepherds by Clemens
German Shepherds have erect ears, sloped back and long back scissor-like muzzle. German Shepherds are recognizable in a variety of colors. German Shepherds are working dogs and work is what they do. Their herding, intelligence, health and structure are not determined by coat color. Finding good German Shepherd dog names is no easy task. German Shepherd health is one area over which you have a lot of control. Long prized for its elegance, intelligence, loyalty, versatility and working abilities, the German Shepherds can be a very stoic animal that will play and work hard through a lot of pain and not easily show any underlying health problems. German Shepherds are generally used in the security services like in army and police. But they are also used at homes, since they show loyalty, love and affection to their owners. German Shepherd puppy ears can come up on their own anytime between 8 weeks and 6 months. German Shepherd breeders will also provide medical records and offer a guarantee against the dog developing hip dysplasia at least within the first year.

Doberman dogs
Doberman dogs by Clemens
Dobermans have a short coat, with no undercoat to protect them form the elements of weather. They do need the protection of an in home environment. Dobermann was a door-to-door tax collector and night watchman in Germany in the 1890´s and found the need to have a dog that could act as both a companion and a guardian as he made his daily rounds. He thus began to experiment with breeding available dogs to achieve this result. Doberman are intelligent and like to please their masters. Dobermans are not mean vicious dogs that Hollywood has convinced people they are. Rather they are smart enough to be good actors, that Hollywood chooses them over some of the harder to work with breeds that can become real "man-stoppers. They can learn to act their part out well, and they are very photogenic. They develop close relationships with their family, but can be stubborn. Doberman are commonly used in police work and in the military. They are the still the war dog of the U.S. Dobermans are big, muscular dogs and can require a lot of food. Dobermans are strong dogs and there´s nothing wrong with using training equipment designed to help you control them. Also Dobermans have been used for hunting and have even attained herding titles. While they make fantastic watchdogs, they also can make a great family pet, although it is essential to train them from a young age. Dobermans can also have heart problems, bleeding disorders, eye defects, skin diseases, and hypothyroidism. Bloat is also a major threat to any Doberman and owners are urged to consult with their veterinarian for advice on preventing this problem. Doberman are also an excellent breed for a jogger to own. Dogs can also become dehydrated in the sun, so provide plenty of cool, clean water. Limit their exposure to the heat during hot summer days and exercise them in the morning or evening hours, when temperatures are cooler.

Dachshunds
Dachshunds by Clemens
Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers (Dachs means Badger). Badgers were a formidable prey and Dachshunds were bred to have courage and bravery bordering on the reckless! Dachshunds also have a good memory to go with their tenaciousness, making them notoriously difficult to bend to your will. Because of this, putative punishments are rarely effective as most dachshunds are sure you'll crack eventually. Dachshunds love taking long walks and enjoy the great outdoors. Unfortunately, their love for the outdoors is also displayed in their passion for digging. Dachshunds like to enter into the spirit of everything you do, which isn't always the greatest help, especially when you are doing something like tying your shoes. They are playful dogs, but they insist on you following their rules of play, which may or may not coincide with the rules commonly used by their other canine cousins. Puppies of Dachshunds are warm and cuddly, and everyone wants to hold and pet them. But puppies demand patience and energy to help them become wonderful family members and companions.

Beagle dogs
Beagle dogs by Clemens
Beagles are equally happy in the home romping and playing with children or other small animals. Beagles are well known in the United States and extremely popular based on the cartoon Peanuts that ran in the newspaper for several years and actually created some movies and TV shows. Snoopy has always been popular with children, which of course makes the demand for these dogs in homes. Beagles are of medium length and have an oval skull and square muzzle. They have long, big ears and big brown eyes. Beagles are easy to groom because they have short hair. Their coat is traditionally tri-colored-brown, black and white. Beagles are equally joyous in a family sporting and putting with babies or other young creatures. Beagles are well known as a breed of dog that will eat anything in sight and then not care so much about their "girlish figure". So we can say Beagles are big on eating and not so big on exercise so your beagle will gladly trade off a run in the sun for a bowl of food. As a very energetic breed of dog, Beagles are social, curious, intelligent and brave. Beagles are hardy - stubborn - and are just happy to be alive and loved. Beagles are fabulous chow-hounds!
