Medium Dog Breeds

You don’t need a huge car or an enormous crate to fit your dog in. Most hotels will refuse squarely to host large size dogs but are more accommodating towards medium and small dogs.

A medium size dog needs a moderate amount of food.

Feeding a large dog can be very expensive. Also, in most cities you are supposed to clean after your dog and unfortunately the size of the waste is proportionate to the size of the dog and the amount of food digested.

A medium size dog is adaptable

A dog of this size is easy to handle for a child (who could be too clumsy or boisterous for a tiny dog) or an elder person who might not be strong enough to handle a large dog at the park or during a vet visit.

Protection

Often medium size dog breeds have larger voices than what it might be expected and offer a good deterrent for intruders.

In some countries there are restrictive laws for keeping large dogs that don’t apply to a medium size dog.
