Although every dog has different personalities and characteristics, many dog breeds have distinct personalities based on the experience of owners and dog trainers. Because different breeds have different physical qualities and conditions, and the health problems that require special care are also different, there are also sayings about "dogs that are easier to raise" and "dogs that are harder to raise".
However, before we start introducing dogs suitable for novice owners, we still need to emphasize that before deciding to raise a dog, owners should evaluate various conditions, such as financial status, companionship time, space, etc.
Moreover, most of the dog's behavior and development are still affected by the owner's feeding habits and training. Therefore, no matter what kind of dog you raise, the owner's determination, patience and willingness to learn with the dog are the most important.
If you already understand the importance of being a good owner, let's learn which dog breeds are more suitable for beginners with no breeding experience!
*Tips: The ordering of the following dog breeds has nothing to do with the ranking!
Labrador Retriever
The friendly Labrador is smart and easy to train. As long as you ensure enough exercise, it is a dog suitable for novice owners.
The Labrador is highly intelligent, easy to train, and very friendly and docile. It's no exaggeration to say that it is man's best companion! It can accompany the owner in various activities. The Labrador, which has good physical strength and loves sports, can accompany the owner in the mountains and sea.
If owners don't like outdoor sports, they can safely take them to and from various public places where dogs are allowed. Labradors are also a very low-aggression dog breed. In most cases, there is no need to worry about dogs charging or attacking in public places.
If the owner learns dog training techniques and teaches them patiently, he or she can also teach the Labrador many commands, such as following around outside, going to the toilet at designated spots, and not picking up food on the ground to eat, etc.
And this is why Labradors are a popular choice for working dogs of all kinds, including guide dogs and therapy dogs. In addition, although Labradors are docile, they are very active and require their owners to spend more time with them and play with them.
The easy-going Labradors are relatively simple to raise. With their short hair, they don't need to spend much time grooming their hair. They only need to be combed occasionally during the shedding season. They are not afraid of water because of their excellent water resistance. Even novice owners can try to bathe their dogs by themselves.
