Who are they, wolfhound dogs?

To start or not to start? That is the question. And you can not answer it clearly - every potential owner of a big dog should decide for himself whether he is able to cope with her upbringing. And we can only dispel some of the myths that exist in society.

Wolfhounds dangerous

In a way, this statement is absolutely true. But in the same way the owners of the most affectionate cat can suffer - for the presence of teeth and claws is in itself a risk factor. Dog-wolfhounds are large in size and, accordingly, remarkable strength, so the attack on their part usually ends badly for the weaker enemy. But they will not attack anyone without a reason - just to protect their space or those they consider members of the "pack." But if you seriously fear for your safety, the proper training, conducted by a cynologist, will be an excellent solution to the problem.

They eat a lot

A lot, yes. If you compare with a small-size swatch. However, the weight ratio that wolfhound dogs possess and the amount of food consumed by them indicates that it is not necessary to feed the pet from the basin. But the menu can not be called non-expensive, and a puppy and an adult dog should receive enough useful substances for the life of the organism. Therefore, meat and vegetable dishes, as well as porridges - are mandatory. At the same time, all products are only fresh and quite benign.

Large dogs need a lot of space

In fact, there will be enough space, which will occupy the rug, which is considered the personal territory of the animal. Most of the time, dog-wolfhounds spend sitting or lying down - watching what is happening, so even in a one-room apartment on the fifth floor your dog will not feel hurt in his dog rights. The only "but" - with him will often have a long walk, so that the animal can stretch its legs and have fun.

Either a child or a dog

In fact, some of the dogs most loyal to children are wolfhounds. Dogs are balanced and aimed at protecting their family, they will never harm the child, even if he allows himself some liberties with respect to the ears, tail or other parts of the pet's body. And even more so properly brought up dog will not touch a little man for the sake of entertainment or to erase malice.

Disorder in the house

A small puppy is a small child, so even wolfhound dogs in childhood are disgraceful and can spoil the interior a little. True, they make all their pranks not from evil, but in the process of the game and prevent them easily, having bought a lot of interesting toys. And during the change of teeth it is necessary to provide the pet with special adaptations, which it can gnaw.

To buy a dog is expensive

With this you can not argue. Indeed, a thoroughbred puppy costs a lot of money, but it can not be cheap for various reasons. Firstly, real wolfhound dogs require careful care, which includes a balanced diet. This is how you can grow the winners of exhibitions and championships. And secondly, it is the purity of the breed that is the key to your peaceful existence next to the dog. It is not necessary to save and buy puppies from unknown litters - they may have physical and, worst of all, mental disorders.

There are many varieties, it is unclear what to choose

The most popular dog among wolfhounds is the Central Asian Shepherd. It can be considered the most optimal option for people who had not previously dealt with such pets. However, here it is unlikely to do without the help of a cynologist. Be sure to consult a breeder before making your final choice.
