[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it depends on the breed. Too many people get caught up in feeling they have to get a rescue dog rather than picking the right breed for their lifestyle and a good breeder. They end up getting a dog that is not right for their family and/or has behavioral problems. It becomes a daunting task. There aren’t many people for whom some mix of pitbull, Shepard , husky , hound etc is the right breed but they think got a lab mix and really struggle when the dog comes home.[/quote] +1 So much My weird advice, if you can afford it, is to get two at once. We are lifelong dog owners. Years ago we bought two boston terrier puppies at once and they were the easiest of all our dogs to raise, they kept each other busy and kept each other company. They play and cuddle with us just as much as a single dog, but they also tussle and tire each other out. It's just a couple of months of training but it's worth it. You need to identify the right breed for your family, your needs, energy level, and physical size.[/quote] I forgot to mention the cons. For our family it's where to leave them when we go on vacation. We need to book our kennel very much in advance.[/quote]
