[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely don’t get a dog for anyone but you. My parents and in-laws all thought I should get a big sturdy dog for my boys. Ugh no way. I’m also very allergic. I got a small, cute 8lb dog that doesn’t shed. Love taking care of her and my kids like her too. I just wasn’t into a lab and I knew I’d be the dog’s caretaker 95% of the time. Mostly think about how much time you have for walks. Little dogs don’t need as much exercise [/quote]

This is generally true but some little dogs do need lots of exercise like Jack Russels and other terriers such as Westies. [/quote]

Agree with the second poster. I have an 11 pound poodle and he gets 3 to 4 mile walks every day and loves it.  We laughed because when we come home from the walk he gets the zoomy‘s and I marvel that he still has energy to run around like that after a 4 mile walk

To the original poster. I agree with others he say do not get to talk unless you want one. The work will fall on you. If you are not willing to do the work, do not count on your family picking up the slack. My recommendation is do not get a dog.  let your kids or husband volunteer at animal shelters or with a rescue group. I think sometimes the rescue groups like to have people walk the dogs around Petsmart and everything when they are showcasing dogs for adoption.[/quote]
