Reddit reviews Right Dog For You

I bought this book when I was 12 and dog obsessed. My mom held out and I never got a dog. Still, it was a great resource in ruling out certain breeds.

At the end of the day, I used my knowledge of what breeds would and wouldn't fit with my lifestyle, talked with my partner, went to Petfinder, and started contacting rescue groups that had dogs that fit the personality, temperament, exercise requirements, and size restrictions we were looking for. It's a great way to look at all sorts of dogs, even puppies, and figure out if they are a good fit.

I know a lot about one Keeshond. He was a very good tempered dog that a friend of mine in my neighborhood had and I saw him more days than not and always liked him.

If there is a problem it is that coat they have. It is very heavy and sheds heavily. It was a full time job for my friend to keep up with it. The coat works great in the winters of Upstate NY, not so much in the summers. If you run that breed in the woods you will be picking burrs and ticks out of its coat for a long while.

In the YMMV category is that while very friendly and certainly of good temper he never matured enough and calmed down enough for my preference and I knew him for 7 years.

If you are interested this book is what I used to find a breed that I would be happy with and that was 35 years ago. The breed that we wound up with was perfect for us/me and we stayed with the breed ever since. Everybody that I have recommended this book to got the breed that the psych and personality tests pointed to. Not one was anything but thrilled with who they wound up with.
