3 Dogs and 2 Cats

The Lhasa Apso breed is in the non-sporting breed group.  They are more of an indoor dog.  They love to play games and become quite playful when doing so.  The Lhasa Apso is known to be one of the most affectionate breeds and this is why they make such great companions.  

They are very devoted and loyal to their loved ones but are very stubborn and want everything their way.  They have a heightened sense of hearing so they do make a great watch dog.  They do prefer being the only pet and demand lots of attention, as much as they can get.   The Lhasa Apso dogs  don’t like being left alone for long periods of time and will let you know it.  They do bite if frightened or angered so they aren’t the best dogs for children. 

The Lhasa Apso needs to be brushed daily to avoid any matting or tangling of the hair.  They need to be bathed on a regular basis and routine check-ups are neccesary as they tend to have eye and ear problems if not properly cared for.   The Lhasa Apso breed is great for people that live in apartments or condos since they love indoor activity.

The Vizsla is a medium sized hunting dog.  They have a short wirey coat and have a slender build with long straight legs.  They have a golden colored coat but the colors may vary. 

The Vizsla is a very smart dog and easily trained.  They are good with children and love to play.  They prefer to be active as much as possible.  Like many other dogs, the Vizsla dog breed needs a lot of excercise or they will become destructive in the home.  When left alone, they need to be entertained as well so they will not turn your belongings into their chew toys.  If they do not get the right amount of excercise; they may become very high strung and a bit neurotic. 

If you aren’t planning on excercising and being active everyday, the Vizsla would not be the right choice for you.  They need a good sized yard to play in and they don’t make good apartment dogs.  They prefer the outdoors. 

This breed has a life expectancy of up to 15 years and they are prone to hip dysplasia.  They can weigh anywhere from 40 to 60lbs.  They make great companions and are very loving and loyal.  They are not a high maintenance breed. 

The Alaskan Malamute is a big and strong sled dog.  They stand tall and broad and weigh over 100 lbs.  They have a gorgeous coat and are very powerful breed.   The Alaskan Malamute has two layers of fur and it’s very coarse.  They shed up to twice a year and they shed  alot of hair.  The shedding process can last up to a month.  They have a wide head and thick but solid build. 

This breed is very loyal and intelligent.  They are playful and demand alot of attention from their loved ones.  They mellow out in their older age.  The Alaskan Malamute breed are happiest as inside and outside dogs.  They need strong companionship and lots of excercise.  If they don’t get the attention they need, they can become quite destructive.  It’s important that they have toys and are entertained when they are home alone. 

The Alaskan Malamute loves to please.  They want to make their master happy but can also do the complete opposite if they don’t get enough play time and attention.  It’s important to train them as a puppy; since they can be a little hard to train,  with alot of encouragement and consistency.  They don’t have huge appetites like you would think with them being such a big dog.  They will take whatever you put out though so it’s important to stay away from “free feeding” habits since that can lead to dog obesity. 

The Alaskan Malamute has a life expectancy of up to 15 yrs.  They make great loyal companions and would be the perfect pet for an active adult that has lots of patience, love and time to offer.
