These dog breeds are usually perfect for families since they are quite home loving and having been bred for especially aggressive tasks. If you are interested in getting to know some of these dog breeds, then you definitely need to keep on reading and found out all that you want about them. To make a fresh start, we can begin talking about the Terrier category of dog breeds. There are quite a few medium sized dog breeds among this category such as Airedale Terrier, Fox Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Australian Terrier and many others. The Airedale Terrier and the Fox Terrier are probably the most known of these. Terriers have tendency to be stubborn but they are loving and affectionate with children and are good for families. However these medium dog breeds have personalities of their own and won’t enjoy any intrusion to their privacy. All of them need constant exercise and activity since they are very energetic and will do okay in apartments, except for the Airedale Terrier which needs yards or patios to play at. There are other medium dog breeds that are pretty familiar to the average pet owner or pet lover such as: German shepherd, Doberman, Boxer, Dalmatian, Collie, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky or American Cocker Spaniel. Even though they may vary in size from one to another they are typically considered as medium dog sizes. Some of these dog breeds are usually related to guardian activities and are quite ideal to protect your house and family from any intruders or burglars: Doberman, Boxer or German Shepherd. Some others are great for children and families, such as Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky or American Cocker Spaniel. There are some other medium sized dog breeds that are not as famous as those but are still quite interesting and nice to have around. These medium breeds are the Chow Chow, the Pointer, the Poodle, the Schnauzer, the Irish Setter or the Basset Hound. While Chow Chow and Basset Hound breeds are independent but somewhat lazy, the Pointer is not quite recommended for families if not well exercised, Schnauzer will do whatever you ask him to in terms of exercise, and Irish Setter will get destructive if you do not provide them with plenty of activity. Poodles will not demand you for explicit exercise so you might take the initiative to take them out for a walk. As you might see, these are just a few of the medium dog breeds. You can keep on investigating about other. We tried to talk you about the most interesting and famous ones to help you choose for the right one. |
