how can you evaluate all the books that discuss the good points of the
various breeds? The truth is no one persondnot even your veterinariandcan be
the sole authority on all breeds. Breeders may have a bias, or at least a loyalty,
toward their own breeds. Likewise, authors writing about certain breeds undoubtedly
have their own biases. The main feature of this book is Chapter 3,
presenting a behavioral data-based profile of 80 of the most popular breeds to aid
in selection of a puppy. As will be explained later, the profiles are based on
interviews with 168 veterinarians that ranked the breeds on 10 characteristics.
We will suggest you select a breed or short list of breeds that are appropriate for
your lifestyle and/or that of the family.
The purpose of this book is to help prospective dog caregivers select the breed
and sex best suited to the caregivers’ personality and lifestyle. Lifestyle is
important; whether you are a jogger or walker, young or elderly, a traveler or a
homebody makes a difference. The environment is also important, whether an
apartment, condominium, or suburban home with yard, is critical.
Let us strongly assert as authors, that the behavioral information provided
does not represent our own opinions but is based on the rankings assigned by 168
women and men, small-animal veterinarians, whom we refer to as authorities.
The authorities were asked to rank a sample of seven randomly chosen breeds
from our master list of 80 breeds, on 10 behavioral characteristics in a direct
interview over the telephone and analyzed in a statistical program. As
mentioned, we believe that no breed is inherently any better than another; rather,
there is a niche or range of roles for each specific breed. This book can be
invaluable in helping you choose the perfect puppy for you.
