[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider the life span. [b]ALL dogs need exercise. And I don't mean a stroll down the street while you look at your iPhone and the dog pees on your neighbors' lawns. They need to walk briskly and/or run every day. [/b] Get a trainer/dog behaviorist who will work with your family and the dog. You all need to have control over the dog and be safe. It's a lot of fun, but it's a big responsibility. [/quote] Not all dogs need rigorous exercise. Ex: pugs, bull dogs, etc. These dogs will be PISSED if you walk briskly and/or jog with them. I dog-sat for my Dad a couple of years ago (a pug). After about 15 minutes outside, she refused to walk! Just sat down on the sidewalk and refused to budge until she got in a 10 minute rest. [/quote] Seriously, many, many breeds are content to have a brisk walk around the block and then they want to sleep all afternoon and evening.[/quote]
