What's the best type of indoor dog to get? |
I'm getting out of the military and finally able to get a dog. Of course I'll be working part time and going to school at the same time so it would be alone but I'm very active in life with hiking and photography. I love the idea of a Jack Russel but heard they have a lot of energy that I may not be able to provide. Any advice would be greatly accepted. Whippets are very gentle, docile indoor dogs that do not require as much exercise as rambunctious terriers. In fact... 'Whippets are generally quiet and gentle dogs, content to spend much of the day sleeping.' Obviously, like all dogs, they need exercise, but are very suited to indoors environment and also extremely affectionate. The only problem is that they cannot be let off the lead unless VERY well trained - one glimpse of a rabbit and your Whippet will suddenly be that dwindling speck on the horizon. I have a West Highland White Terrier myself - they're absolutely wonderful dogs, but can very boisterous and need a good walk every day, like most terriers. Oh, and here's a site with comprehensive information on many dog breeds, which may help; http://www.petplanet.co.uk/petplanet/bre... Good luck with whatever you choose! Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/whippet... a small one, and also invest in a shock collar, or your neighbors will be sending friendly officers with badges to visit you. i know. trust me. it sucks. get a cat instead.....haha the best indoor pet dog are dogs that is easy cleaning dogs, no ticks and less hair because if too much hair in your house, the hair might fall or scatter on your house and may cause asthma to the people around you. any breed of dog is a good indoor dog. I suggest you google "dog breed selector".. there are many of them out there.. they ask for information like how much exercize and grooming you can dedicate to daily, do you need a dog that is good with children or other pets? What kind of qualities you like, such as trainability, size, protection, etc. The selector will come up with several breeds that best match your lifestyle based off the information your provide. Check out some of the first few breeds it suggests. you definitely want a small terrier of some kind. all dogs have energy needs that have to b met, but the smaller breeds won't take as long to wear out, plus playing with them at home works just as well as taking them for a walk. miniature pinchers as well as some other terrier breeds can be litterbox trained, which makes them almost as easy to look after as a cat. the only thing you should watch out with a jack russell is that they are very high energy. if you feel you could dedicate him enough time every day to play or walk then you should be ok. |
