Either way, there's no denying that dogs with a country name just seem to be a little bit more special. Whether you're from the rural America or just have a soft spot for the culture, giving your dog a country name is a great way to show your love.

Country Dogs vs. City Dogs

Country dogs tend to have more jobs than their urban relatives. There are a variety of "dog jobs" in the country. Some of the most popular choices include retrievers, pointers, and flushers. These breeds are all known for their hunting abilities and their loyalty. Other breeds that are popular choices for country living include herding dogs. These breeds are known for their ability to protect livestock and move them around. However, the most popular job for a country dog is protection and companionship.

Property Protection

One of the most common ways dogs protect is by barking at animals or people who are approaching the property. This can be a very effective way to deter animals from coming onto the property. Some animals include deer, who may try to eat plants you just put in the ground. Other animals may be larger and more of a threat (like carnivores). This can include bears (that want to get into your garbage) and badgers that may want to eat your chickens. Be careful though, some predators may gang up on your dog (like coyotes). It may be best to have a protective barrier (like a kennel) or keep your dog inside your property.

Home Protection

If your dog is inside, it can also be an effective way to alert the owner to potential danger. Dog are great at protecting property. Beyond barking at upcoming threats, they can also growl and look fierce if the threat goes inside. This can be a vital way to keep thieves and criminals out of your home.

Dogs are an invaluable asset to any property. They can provide a sense of security and safety, as well as a sense of companionship. When choosing a dog for protection, it is important to choose a breed that is known for being loyal and protective. Some of the most popular choices include guard dogs, such as German Shepherds and Dobermans. It is also important to consider the size of the property and the type of animals that will be on the property. For example, a small dog may not be the best choice for a large property with a lot of deer. The best way to choose the right dog for is to consult with a local veterinarian or animal shelter.
