Which dog breed is the best for me?

Question

well im a girl with mood disorder..and depression.. so what dog breed would help me cure? small/ medium .. i want him calm also. thankyou. god bless.

Answer 1

Bulldog.

They are medium sized(20-30 lbs) and very calm, loving, and cute as ever!!  They make great companions!

Answer 2

How about an adult whippet they are very calm and loving but dont get a puppy they are crazy, how about an old rescue dog? there are all sorts in the dogs home you could go and have a look and ask staff about the dogs personality king charles spaniels are also a beautiful breed and they are small.

Answer 3

What I would suggest is to get something along the lines of a Golden Retriever, Lab, Setter, etc.  They are very sociable dogs so they are great w/ other dogs and people when you go out.  Also they are VERY affectionate and in tune to people's moods and behaviors.  

They are smart and learn fast and enjoy the company of others.  I think the breeds along those lines listed above would suit you perfectly.

Good Luck

Hi girl,

There are several breeds that you could consider but it all depends on the environment you live in. An apartment in a city is very different from a house in some village. Different breeds have different temperaments and different needs. You also need to consider the dog's maintenance. Who will brush and walk the dog and train him, etc.

If you have a yard for the dog to roam then a Golden Retriever, Boxer, Standard Poodle, Labrador Retriever or even German Shepherd will work just great.

Smaller ones that will work in small places could be a Dachshund, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Poodle and few others that are mellow.

Keep in mind though that when you get a puppy he will be very active for several moths till he grows up and he will need a lot of attention and training. So maybe you should consider a grown up dog that is already trained. It may cost more but you may benefit from it quite immediately. The dog may not cure you but will definitely help you overcome many hurdles and will make you a happier girl.

i think a lab or a golden retriever would be great for you. Their always there for u and always makes you happy. i have one myself. they are about medium\large. if u would like a kinda small dog, how about a beagle. Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! A happy little tail-wagger! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and generally good with other dogs.  

Answer 6

You should try a Golden Retriever. My auntie that is Bi-polar got a Golden and she let me name it. so i named it happy. it really made her happy. it spent time with her and was always there for her. she loves that dog so much.

Answer 7

First of all God Bless to you as well.

I personally believe that a dog should be able to be calm.  I agree with you 100%.  I personally own an Akita.  They are a large breed dog but you would not believe there history.  Do you know that in Japan they are given to people who are ill to  help them get better.  Why?  Because in Japan they understand that a dog can help people to be more calm.  Akita's are used in hospitals and schools to help people to get over there fears,illness and problems.  These dogs are truly unique.  They are very loyal, friendly and loving.  They are calm and do not bark unless there is a problem.  They do not mind been left in the house for long hours and they are very protective.  I own an Akita.  He is very loving.   He seems to understand me and as helped me to get over cancer and other emotional problems.  Okay - he was very hard to train at points but to be honest he is very easy going.  Now he is nearly three and has submitted to me he is the best dog ever!.   I ask that you consider this breed.  Yes it's large but get a female and you will find life even easier.  All the best to you.
