Usually people distinguish dog breeds mostly according their appearance but the fact is that every breed has some specificity, characteristics or special demands that are more important in differentiation than just their appearance. Not every breed is suitable for every person. Our lifestyles or our living conditions sometimes differ with specific breed needs or requirements. Getting a breed that is not in harmony with us can result with an inappropriate union of a dog and a person.
