Dogs are one of the most lovely animals in the world; they know how to turn any human mood into happiness and joy. Most of us think that all dogs are the same, but that is different. Suppose you are a dog lover and feel positive whenever you see a dog. In that case, you will surely know about it, just as we all think all humans are the same. Still, we can’t match each other because we all have something unique that makes us different. The dogs also have some types and categories from which we can decide which kind of dog you should buy or adopt.
As humans, we have some differences like nationality, culture, nature, and cast. We can say all dogs also have something like that, so it is essential to look into those breeds when buying a dog. Do you ever wonder why street dogs are so cheap, but a special breed dog can cost you a kidney? Why are actual dog lovers willing to spend millions of rupees on a good breed dog when they can also have a street dog? But that’s the difference; every breed has pros and cons that you must look for according to your nature and surroundings before buying a dog because dogs, like humans, have different personalities and natures. As this “dog owner” trend is spreading all over Pakistan, you should know about the many types of dogs we have in the country.
The Best dog types in Pakistan
CANINE BREEDS IN PAKISTAN:
There are a lot of breeds you can consider for yourself if you are living in Pakistan. Before purchasing a dog, you should consider some things because every human has a different lifestyle. Dogs also have some other types of lifestyle, so you should choose a breed that can easily adjust to your lifestyle without any trouble as some dogs are used to living in cold weather, so obviously, they cannot survive in Pakistan’s weather due to the heat unless you provide your dog with a fully air-conditioned room. Here are some dogs we have in Pakistan that you can consider adopting.
1). German Shepherd (GSD)
The German shepherd is one of the most famous dog breeds worldwide and also in Pakistan. It is considered one of the most loyal dog breeds to have. It was invented for guarding in Germany in 1899. This large breed dog is regarded as the most family-friendly dog. The German shepherd is born in seven different colors, which are:
COLORS:
1)SABLE.
2) BLACK AND RED
3)GREY.
4) SILVER AND BLACK
5) TAN AND BLACK
6)BLACK.
7)WHITE.
They come with a height difference between males and females; if it’s a male, then its height will be 60 to 65 cm, and if it’s a female, then her height will be 55 to 60 cm, which will be considered a large size breed. The German shepherd is a very gentle dog breed that is also loyal. It is also very good to be considered a watchdog as they have a strong and sharp sense of smell. They are mostly known for their smart nature as they are easy to train. This is one of the breeds used in the army and police jobs because it is easily trainable. This dog breed is also very aggressive, but only with strangers; with close ones, they are always like a little baby who needs love and attention. Their maximum life expectancy is 9 to 14 years.
The German shepherd loves to live and cuddle with his owner, as he is an extremely loyal dog worldwide. This dog breed usually likes to eat meat and normal dog food, but you can train him according to the diet you can provide. They are also very friendly once they get to know you, but they are very introverted and reserved dogs until that point. This dog breed is considered one of the bravest and most courageous breeds and will not easily miss a chance to protect you in your hard times. German shepherds are classified into two types: those with long coats and those with short coats. Long-coated German shepherds look more presentable in front of others as they have a very warm and thick look; the other one is also a good choice if you live in a hot climate like Pakistan.
A German shepherd is a very active dog breed, so if you can play with them or make them spend a maximum of one hour per day exercising, you should consider getting one; however, if you live in a flat or a small space, it can lead to some health issues for your dog if they do not get enough activity time. Another thing to consider is giving your GSD a proper place of soil to walk on, as most people live in houses with tiles on the floor, which can cause problems in your dog’s feet and make them feel difficulty walking.
This breed is also very good with children, but you should be careful around other dogs sometimes. This breed can be purchased for a maximum of 50,000 to 2 lakhs, depending on the coat and family background; background means that if your dog is pedigreed, its value will be slightly higher than a non-pedigree dog.
