This is because each person subconsciously chooses a companion for himself by his character and temperament. If you are calm and balanced, you can make a conscious choice when you know which dog breeds match your temperament.
The calmest dog breeds
There is no single breed of dog - a champion of calmness - simply does not exist. Moreover, even representatives of the same breed or dogs in the same litter can have a different character. But there are, of course, those breeds, the breeding work with which was carried out, including in this direction. At least buying a purebred puppy of these breeds, you can be 99% sure that he will have a balanced character.
Immediately give up the idea of buying the puppy whose breed name contains the word "terrier", since they were originally intended for hunting. Therefore, all terriers, as a rule, are very mobile, restless and vociferous. From what remains, you can choose a few particularly calm breeds. One of the breeds known for its poise is the English Bulldog - a true gentleman and snob, who, under no circumstances, tries not to lose its importance and innate dignity. A good choice is the Shar Pei, a dog with a natural sense of tact, who knows how to observe personal space, both his own and the owner's. Moreover, she cannot bark.
Of the especially cold-blooded, but no less loyal and loving breeds, one can also name the St. Bernard, Newfoundland, Basset Hound, Labrador, Neapolitan Mastiff, Great Dane and Danish, Mittel Schnauzer, Porselen. From this list, you can already pick up exactly the breed that suits you both in appearance and size, and in terms of keeping conditions.
What you need to keep your dog calm
So that the dog does not disappoint you and its character fully corresponds to that given in the description of the breed, the first and most necessary condition is that the owner himself is a balanced person who knows how to control himself. It is unlikely that your dog will be calm if you beat him or shout at him, breaking your voice on your unrequited pet.
In addition, you should know that a puppy of any breed, appearing in your house, will bring with it a lot of hassle and fuss. In order for him to become calm and reasonable, as you want it, he needs to grow up and he needs to be trained and educated. No dog by itself can develop those qualities of character that are given in the description of the breed - you must help her in this. To do this, first of all, you will need a lot of time, patience, perseverance and kindness. Having developed these qualities in yourself, you can be sure that you will be able to raise your most calm, intelligent dog in the world.
