Dogs have been with us for more than forty thousand years. That’s pretty amazing, isn’t it? It’s believed that the ancestors of the modern dog – likely wolves – first started to interact with early humans in the search for food. Over thousands of years, this relationship has developed into a much closer bond, and now they are considered companion animals in many countries. This makes dogs one of the most successful animals on the planet in terms of survival!
There are many amazing facts about dogs. Did you know that they are the only other species on the planet apart from humans who can understand and interpret human body language? It might seem like a simple thing, but your dog being able to follow your pointed finger to a treat or other location is actually evidence of dogs being able to understand human body language. That’s inter-species communication!
The Evolution of Dog Breeds
Hundreds of dog breeds exist today. The origins of some of them, like the mysterious Chinese Crested, are shrouded in the mists of time. But many others have been specifically bred by humans as hybrids and crossbreeds, often for the purposes of creating working dogs or companion animals with special traits and characteristics that make them desirable.
Looking for a dog that suits you, your family and your lifestyle is really important. There’s no point in buying a dog that has too much energy if you are not energetic yourself, for example. This scenario only leads to frustration for both dog and owner. This is why breeds like the Goldendoodle have been introduced, and offer a companion dog that is fun loving and social. In fact, if you search in your local area, you may even be able to find a medium Goldendoodle for sale.
The Love of a Goldendoodle
Goldendoodles are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They are well-known to be great companions for people of all types, including families and children. Like most dogs, they will need exercise, so it is important to match the energy level of your Goldendoodle with the energy level of yourself and/or your family. Fortunately, the Goldendoodle only requires moderate exercise, unlike other dog breeds that are high energy. This makes them ideal for moderately active owners.
In order to find a medium Goldendoodle for sale, it’s really important to locate a breeder that believes in a natural process of hand rearing puppies, socializing them and looking after them so that they are completely ready for adoption. A Goldendoodle puppy that has been raised in a loving, natural and happy atmosphere is going to be ready for you and your family and will provide many years of play, joy and love.
