So, what dog breed suits you? Last week I started a series about dog
breeds to give you some insight into some of the incredible dog breeds
that are out there to choose from. Here are the profiles of three more
dog breeds.
Dalmatians
The Dalmatian dog is a non-sporting dog breed that loves lots of love and attention from their family. Some people consider these dogs to be high maintenance as they are thin-skinned and extreme heat and cold affects them. While Dalmatians love to be with you they are not necessarily cuddly dogs or likely to curl up on the couch.
These dogs need a lot of time and training, and can be good with children if they are trained to be around them. While these dogs have a short coat they do shed a lot of hair most of the year.
The Bichon Frise dog is social, affectionate and very spirited. This dog breed is a non-sporting breed and is very easy to train. These gorgeous dogs have a thick curly coat that needs regular grooming to keep it in good condition. These little dogs are great with children and love being with their family. They do not require high levels of exercise as long as they have good play sessions daily.
This dog breed is suitable for people with small yards or those who live in a unit. These dogs do need professional grooming once month so you may want to factor this cost in when considering a Bichon Frise as your next pet. The Bichon Frise does not shed much hair and are ideal for those who don’t like dog hair everywhere.
Chihuahua
The Chihuahua dog breed falls into the toy group of dogs. These dogs often are referred to as having ‘small man syndrome’. They truly do not realize just how small they are. They have spunk and are sometimes aggressive.
They are tiny and physically fragile and do not need a lot of exercise. A good play session daily is all they need.
This dog breed is not suitable for large families or families with very young children, and they tend to not like a lot of people coming and going from their home. Because the Chihuahua is fragile physically, it is quite easy for young children to hurt them and the Chihuahua will bite.
This breed of dog bonds very strongly with their pack leader and is a good dog breed for someone who is quiet and where they can be your constant companion. Chihuahua’s live up to 20 years so be prepared to have this little dog join you for the long-term.

Something to consider when thinking about choosing a dog
breed like a Dalmatian, is that around 10 percent of them are born deaf
or partly deaf. Deafness is a prevalent issue in the breed and a dog
that is deaf, or going deaf, takes a very special owner to love and care
for them. A dog that is deaf or partially deaf is not a good dog to
have in a family home. This is because they can be frightened easily,
and frightened dogs bite and ask questions later. Dalmatian dogs are
very protective of their home and family and need to spend a lot of time
with their pack.
Bichon FriseThe Bichon Frise dog is social, affectionate and very spirited. This dog breed is a non-sporting breed and is very easy to train.
