breeds of choice \u2013 possibly due to their connotations of royalty and wealth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/London-dogs-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

open space you would perhaps own a Chihuahua or a small dog requiring less exercise, whereas somebody who lives in the more residential areas of Wandsworth or Wimbledon and has access to lots of parkland might opt for a Labrador Retriever or Cocker Spaniel, requiring plenty of exercise and space.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, people choose a dog breed because they feel it reflects their personality and style, with people who live in trendy areas, such as Shoreditch, opting for breeds that have been popularised by celebrities, so we just urge people to make sure they understand the breed and its characteristics before they buy and to spend time researching the wide variety of dog breeds, to ensure they get the right one for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A
