Dogs

The definition of the kindest dog breeds is a rather subjective matter. However, experts agree that large dogs are most often considered good-natured.

Non-shedding dog breeds are becoming increasingly popular. This isn't just because there's no hair to shed, but also because they're suitable for people prone to allergies.

Each breed has its own purpose. The best dog for guarding a private home should be moderately aggressive, fearless, manageable, and large.

There's no single ideal specimen of this kind. But there are several breeds that particularly stand out according to these criteria.

Celebrating Halloween allows you to go out in your most terrifying form—dressing up as an immortal zombie, a bloodthirsty vampire, or a terrifying clown. But how can pets be left out?

The average lifespan of a dog is 10–15 years. When getting a pet, be prepared for this. While there are certainly some long-lived dogs, especially among small breeds, these four-legged friends typically reach a ripe old age after 10 years. During this period, owners should know how to recognize that their dog is dying. This is essential so that they can, if necessary, alleviate the animal's suffering.
