There are a lot of dogs that are actually underrated when considering the perfect family pup. Now, with the help of Good Dog, you’ll find the perfect pup for you and your family.
Are you looking for a family dog? Have you been trying to figure out exactly what dog will work with your children, schedule, and all of the other things that make dog ownership tricky? With the help of Good Dog, you will be able to find the perfect family pup, and it may just be a breed you never thought of adopting before.
As Good Dog points out on their site, they are here to help connect you to rescues, breeders, and shelters to help you find your ideal canine match. While pop culture might try to convince us that the perfect family dog is a Bulldog or even a Golden Retriever, we all know that there are a lot of different breeds out there. And this means that your perfect match might not be a Golden.
With the help of Good Dog, they hope to remind you of some of the most underrated breeds, such as the Whippet, Great Dane, and Bull Terrier, and how they can be an excellent addition to your family. For example, the Great Dane is known for being good with children, prone to showing affection, and even moderately playful, all things that can be important in a family dog. On top of these attributes, Great Danes are also protective of their homes and will typically get along well with other animals, particularly when raised with them.
As one of the first marketplaces to be backed by industry professionals to help people find their perfect dog, Good Dog knows what they are talking about when they connect you with a pup in need of a home. And when it comes to rescuing and buying a dog for your family, they are also hoping that more people consider those underrated dogs.
When thinking about the Bull Terrier, did you know that they have a temperament that is both sweet and loving? While these pups may be considered aloof, but they really are more like love bugs. As an added bonus, their coats tend to be glossy and short, which means they require less grooming than some breeds.
And how about the Whippet? Did you know that while they may be known for their bursts of energy and random frenzies, these dogs are actually kind of lazy? Whippets prefer to cuddle, eat, and sleep (and if that doesn’t sound like all of us, I don’t know what does.)
Newfoundlands are another underrated breed that we often forget about when considering our next family dog. However, these pups are known for loving children and in turn being very protective of them. They are also one of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world, which is always nice in a family dog.
Finally, we can’t forget about the Doberman Pinscher, which is known for being strong, intelligent and full of endurance. But, when it comes to being a family dog, these pups are also loyal, well-behaved, and affectionate, all things we want in our family pups.
Seriously, all of these dogs would be perfect family members and Good Dog knows this. And with their help, we are being reminded that there are more dogs out there that would make a perfect addition to our homes than what Hollywood might want you to believe.
