To start or not to start? That is the question. And it is definitely impossible to answer it - each potential owner of a large dog must 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 are dangerous

In a way, this statement is absolutely true. But the owners of the most affectionate cat can suffer in the same way - because the presence of teeth and claws is in itself a risk factor. Wolfhounds are distinguished by their large size and, accordingly, remarkable strength, so an attack from their side usually ends badly for a weaker opponent. But they will not attack anyone for no reason - only in order to protect their space or those whom they consider members of the "flock". But if you seriously fear for your safety, then proper training by a dog handler will be an excellent solution to the problem.

They eat a lot

A lot, yes. When compared with a small-sized mongrel. However, the ratio of the weight that wolfhounds have to the amount of food they consumeindicates that it is not necessary to feed the pet from the basin. But to call the menu inexpensive will not work - both the puppy and the adult dog should receive enough useful substances for the life of the body. Therefore, meat and vegetable dishes, as well as cereals, are a must. At the same time, all products are used only fresh and completely benign.

Big dogs need a lot of space

In fact, there will be enough area that the rug will take, which is considered the personal territory of the animal. Most of the time, 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 infringed on his dog rights. The only "but" is that you will have to walk with him often and for a long time so that the animal can stretch its paws and have fun.

Either a child or a dog

In fact, some of the most loyal dogs to children are wolfhounds. Dogs are balanced and aimed at protecting their family, they will never harm the child, even if he takes some liberties regarding the ears, tail or other parts of the pet's body. And even more so, a properly educated dog will not touch a little man for fun or to vent anger.

Mess in the house

A small puppy is a small child, so even wolfhounds in childhood are outrageous and can spoil the interior a little. True, they do all their pranks not from evil, but during the game and it is easy to prevent them by buying a lot of interestingtoys. And during the change of teeth, you need to provide the pet with special devices that he can gnaw.

Buying a dog is expensive

You can't argue with that. Indeed, a purebred puppy costs a lot of money, but it cannot be cheap for various reasons. Firstly, real wolfhounds require careful care, including a balanced diet. This is the only way to raise 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. Do not save money and buy puppies from unknown litters - they may have physical and, worst of all, mental disorders.

There are many varieties, it is not clear which one to choose

The most popular dog among wolfhounds is the Central Asian Shepherd Dog. It can be considered the best option for people who have not de alt with such pets before. However, it is unlikely to do without the help of a cynologist. Be sure to consult with the breeder before making the final choice.
