The perfect dog for your lifestyle and personality is one whose temperament matches your own. It’s essential to have a dog whose energy matches yours if you’re extremely busy during your working hours and you’re not very energetic once you get home.
It isn’t easy to sleep when you have a hyperactive Basenji waiting for you. However, if your dog is calmer and isn’t overly lively, you will have more time to deal with your needs and your dog’s.
