With the continuous changes and development of the social economy, people's concepts have also undergone earth-shaking changes. Take dogs as an example. In the past, dogs only acted as guards and guards, but now they are different. Many people raise dogs as pet dogs and regard them as family members. So what is the difference between pet dogs and guards?

1. Type

If you want to raise dogs as a guardian dog, most parents' good choices are generally Chinese pastoral dogs, German shepherds, Rottweilers, etc. Chinese pastoral dogs are what we often call local dogs. They are very loyal to their owners and are very vigilant, so they are more suitable for guarding the house; while German shepherds are also commonly known as German black backs, with a tall body shape, and are more deterrent when guarding the house and have sufficient attack ability, so they can protect the owner very well; Rottweilers have a strong physique and a relatively high IQ, and can guard the house very well, protect the owner, and are also particularly loyal to the owner.

If you want to raise a dog as a pet dog, Husky, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, and Teddy are all good choices. Husky, golden retriever and Labrador are known as the three major breeds without attack. Parents can feel at ease to let them accompany the elderly and children at home. They are gentle and lively and are more suitable for domestic pet dogs. In addition, small dog breeds similar to Teddy dogs are also good choices for pet dogs. They are small in size and lively in character, and will please their owners, but compared with guardian dogs, they are not so vigilant.

2. Character

From the perspective of personality, if it is a guardian dog, it will be more vigilant, sensitive to external movements, and generally taller and loyal to the owner. If the owner is in danger, they will strive to protect the owner's safety regardless of their own life. Generally, guardian dogs will not be so lively, and most of the time they are calm and restrained and have insight into everything outside.

If it is a pet dog, it will be more lively and will actively please the owner and make the owner happy. It is also more dependent on the owner and wants the owner's company. In addition, people will not have high requirements for the alertness of pet dogs.

3. Body size

Generally, most of the dogs are large dog breeds with relatively large sizes, giving people a feeling of being very powerful and can have a good shock. Most pet dogs are of medium or small dog breeds, especially women who like to raise small dog breeds such as Teddy, Bichon, Pomeranian, and Chihuahua. They are gentle and small and cute.

So, whether it is the personality or body shape of the dog, there are differences between the house dog and the pet dog. If you want to raise a dog for different purposes, you should consider which breed of dog breeds; those who want to raise a house dog can choose the Rottweiler and German Shepherd. If you raise a pet dog, husky, Labrador, golden retriever, Teddy, etc. are all good choices. Friends can raise it according to their preferences.
