Have you ever heard of a Basenji? How about a Catahoula Leopard Hound? How much exercise does a Whippet need? Which breed would enjoy doing agility with you and your kids?
Whether you’re interested in learning about dogs, researching to figure out what breed of dog might suit your lifestyle, or discovering more about the dog you already have this blog post is for you!
Many of my clients adopt rescue dogs and then use DNA tests to find out what breeds make up their beautiful dog. If you find out that your new best friend is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mixed with German Shepherd, Akita, and Boerboel and you’d like to learn more about what activities those breeds enjoy the most, head over to www.akc.org/dog-breeds. You will find information about a wide variety of breeds, including their history, training requirements, exercise needs, health, and temperament.
Happy reading, Dog Leaders!
