Dogs are one of God’s most magnificent creatures, yet it is a big decision to purchase a dog. My advice is to take your time and do some research. I have had 6 breeds of dogs. (listed below). It can be hard to find the right dog breed that suits your needs and personality. Below are I have included really helpful information and links so you can compare dog breeds and find the perfect puppy for you.
I have owned 3 Labrador Retrievers, a Golden Retriever (ranks #3 of all dog breeds), a Russian Wolfhound aka Borzoi, named Kika whom I adored, a Collie named Chelsea, a Sheltie/Shetland Sheepdog (ranks 24 of all dog breeds) and a Cocker Spaniel. Labs always seem to be great pets.
Did you know?
The Labrador Retriever is the most popular dog breed in the United States, according to the American Kennel Club. That was news to me! It does make sense. Labs are wonderful, friendly easy going dogs. The Labrador Retriever breed ranks #1 out of 192 total dog breeds. To learn more, here is information on the Labrador Retriever Dog Breed. The top 10 most popular dog breeds are Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Bulldogs, Beagles, Poodles, Rottweilers, Yorkshire Terriers, and German Shorthaired Pointers
Currently, we have a wonderful Labrador Retriever, named SKY. She is a gorgeous yellow lab. Her eyes are incredibly expressive. She is the most loving dog you can imagine. She literally “HUGS You”. Her personality is a joy. Just for FUN, I have featured Sky in a little photo essay below. I have tried to capture her playful spirit and beauty.
You can follow Sky on her Instagram account @skyourlab – Yes it is kind of silly, but oh so FUN!
