A recent survey was conducted to determine the ideal dog. A number of behavioral and physical characteristics were identified:
• Medium size
• Short hair
• Neutered
• Safe with children
• Fully house-trained
• Friendly
• Obedient
• Healthy
Participants also wanted their ideal dog to come when called, not to escape, enjoy being petted and display affection towards them.
