For many activities such as jogging or cycling, large dog breeds are the ideal companions and are therefore very appreciated. Large dogs trigger affection and enthusiasm among their friends because of their loyal nature.
On the way
It cannot be said in general terms that large dog breeds automatically need more exercise. This depends on the use and the respective breed. In general, especially hunting dogs such as Weimaraner or Labrador Retriever are great runners. While the Golden Retriever is sometimes called a family dog and tends to be more comfortable. But, each dog has its own character and this can differ from breed characteristics.
For a dog of a large dog breed it is important to offer him the necessary exercise. Often only the own garden is not enough.
Costs
The costs of a large breed dog are not automatically higher than those of a small or medium-sized dog. The decisive factor is the origin or the demand for the breed. Of course a large dog eats significantly more than smaller dogs. Since in case of illness many medicines are calculated according to weight. This also results in higher costs. Should the large dog perhaps need certain treatments such as physiotherapy or chiropractic, this is of course also associated with costs.
Age
Large dog breeds unfortunately have a lower life expectancy compared to smaller dog breeds. The reason for this is the rapid growth in relation to age and the associated possible diseases.
Education
Just as with smalland medium sized dog breeds, a good education is also essential for large dogs breeds. The better a large dog is educated, the better he gets along with his environment. The better a large dog is educated, the better he gets along with his environment.
Space
A large dog also means more space. In a 2 room apartment he might not feel very comfortable in the long run. It may well be that over time they find themselves lacking the necessary retreat in a small space. Large dogs feel comfortable in more rural areas with plenty of open space to run around.
Health
Large dog breeds are more prone to diagnoses such as hip and elbow dysplasia, slipped discs, heart disease or osteochondrosis dissecans. A need-optimized diet has an important role in counteracting these health problems. But also the right physical exercise to strengthen or spare certain parts of the body. Under no circumstances should a large dog with a relevant diagnosis only be rested! It should also be noted that a large dog cannot be carried easily when injured.
