The correspondence between the dog and the owner

It is known that many dogs mimic amazingly characteristic features of their owners. Sometimes even a physical resemblance can be so incredible that it bewilders. Even more powerful is the identity of personal characteristics.

For example, German Shepherd fans are mostly physically active and vociferous; Rottweilers – stubborn and purposeful; Airedale Terriers – cheerful and a little sarcastic. If the choice of a breed and its representative is not accidental, then close relations and mutual attraction will soon arise between humans and animals. Most dogs can perform several functions; however, it makes sense to choose the puppy that best suits its purpose.
The impression you make and the way you choose for each individual puppy should be different. If you find an extremely shy and humble dog, you should speak to him gently and handle very delicately. Representatives of this type of puppies become even more timid and withdrawn when they hear a rough voice and feel a sharp appeal. If the puppy is endowed with innate aggression, if he growls and bites when trying to put pressure on him, then he must be treated with steady strength from the very first day. Can you match this image? Sincerely analyze your own nature, comparing with the nature of the selected pet.

The table below shows the features of the correspondence between the owner and the dog.
