Graeme Hall, known as The Dogfather, suggests different dog breeds suitable for various living conditions and lifestyles. For families, Labradors and Staffordshire bull terriers are excellent with children. Smaller breeds like Pomeranians or pugs are recommended for urban living, with considerations for health issues in brachycephalic breeds. Country dwellers benefit from energetic working breeds such as spaniels and border collies. Older people may prefer smaller, low-energy dogs like terriers. The notion of hypoallergenic breeds is debunked, though curly-coated dogs may pose less risk for allergy sufferers. Office dogs need to be manageable in size and temperament for a work environment.
Dogs are individuals; just as you might meet a Yorkshireman who's not great, certain dogs might not fit the expected behavior of their breed.
For families, Labradors are a reliable choice due to their calm demeanor, but Staffordshire bull terriers are also known as 'nanny dogs' due to their family-friendly nature.
