Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while will probably have gathered by now that I am truly, in my heart, a bonefide dog-person (couldn't resist that one!). My love for my beautiful Golden Retriever, Sasha, has crept into many of my posts, I even dedicated an entire Blogmas post solely to her, and today I am going to extend the love to all dogs, of all different breeds.
You may know that today, Monday February 20th, is 'Love Your Pet Day', so it seems really fitting that for today's post I am collaborating with an exciting brand called PuppySpot to talk about everything dog and dog breed related. PuppySpot is an American-based organisation that connects dog breeders with families, seeking new and caring homes for healthy, happy puppies. PuppySpot specifically promotes only the best standards from both parties; with a strict 'No Puppy Mill Promise', breeders are only selected after a comprehensive screening process and homes are carefully chosen to match each puppy. If you are thinking of getting a new puppy, or you are a breeder who is in need of good homes for your dogs, PuppySpot seems like a fantastic resource to check out - I will have all of their links below!
Now, I know that lots of you will already own dogs and are perhaps considering getting a second (my Mom fits into this category!). Let's face it, once you've got one dog, you are BOUND to want another. Something that I, personally, have never given much thought to before is how certain breeds of dogs can get on much better with others, and some are not so well matched. If you are in the process of getting a second dog this can be an extremely important point to think about in your choice of breed - you don't want two unhappy, fighting dogs at home!
Well, PuppySpot has you covered on this one too. They have developed a cool new graphic that gives you ALL the information about dog breed compatibility that you could need.
It was so surprising to me how much I didn't really know about this; for example, that a poodle and a pug would make a great match, or that French Bulldogs should avoid being paired with herding dogs. PuppySpot have made the information so clear and accessible here, which is something that I really like and appreciate about this graphic. It almost reminds me of one of those Zodiac charts that tell you which other star signs would be a good match for your own!
In the spirit of 'Love Your Pet Day', and because choosing the right dog breed for your home really is SO important, I hope this cute, informative graphic helps you - I would love to know what you think in the comments below! Do head over to PuppySpot and take a look at their fantastic site - although, I warn you, I've just been there and seen a Golden Retriever puppy named William and I think I might be hooked, so if you suffer from puppy fever be VERY careful!
