Which breed to buy

I have always been a fan of German shepards. But to be completely honest I will have trouble ever getting anything but a mutt. I have had numerous pure bred dogs but all of them just seem to be nuts or have something wrong. Every mutt I have ever had was a excellent dog. If you look up species of dogs usually each type has a problem that comes along with their breed whether its a physical problem as they get old or temperament. This isn't to say you can't get a great pure bred, but if you just want a pet look into mutts alot of time they are just as good if not better......and cheaper. Right now I have a mix between a German Shepard and a border collie and he is a very intelligent dog.

i have an english bulldog and is so funny... he makes so many faces... and has a very funny character... and he doesn't need so much walcking because he is lazy...

Maybe you should do a bit of research before buying a dog, there are different breeds to suit different lifestyles and certain breeds that first time owners should not have...But just off the top of my head I would think a Labrador or Greyhound.

It all depends on you and your personality. You want a dog that will match your personality/needs. If you are an athletic person that would be able to take your dog on a jog everyother day than you should get a Lab or Golden Retreiver. Both have GREAT personalitys. If you want a dog that can protect your I would recommend a german shepard or a rottweiler. But get these as young as you can so you both can grow to trust eachother. If you want another dog that is protective but VERY lovable you should def. look at getting a Great Pyrenese. They are large dogs with thick coats so make sure you can brush it everyday. These breeds love to have something to protect. If you want a small, lovable breed I would recommend a cocker spaniel, beager or basset hound!

i have two pups, one is a maltese poodle and the other a maltese shitzu, the shitzu is a really yappy dog...so i wouldn't suggest that much! (but she's cute!) the maltese poodle is very smart, easy to train and doesn't shed, but her fur gets pretty wild so shes needs alot of grooming. i think they all have good and bad points no matter what you go for? :-)

I prefer bull terriers. They are small, funny and big enough to defend them selves. Truely a born clown. Although they are hard dogs, they become soft as clay in the owners' hands. Good with children as well, though they might have to go to puppy training when small.

Depends on where you live... If you live in an apt. you may want to get a small dog that doesn't shed much like a Shitsu. If you live in a house and rent you may want to get a Medium dog that doesn't shed like a Schnauzer. If you live in a house you own depending on the size of the house and yard you can get just about anything you want.... what kind of dogs do you like big - med- small. I persoanlly have a Black Labrador and a Med to small mutt (part dachsaund and part Gorgi)- we have a small back yard - not much roon for them to run but we walk them everyday and take them swimming in the summer....they need lots of excersize. Please make sure if you get a dog that you are ready for the commitment- there is nothing worse then adopting a puppy or dog and then not wanting it later when it grows up or does something bad- it is just like having a child you need to be responsible and prepared for anything- messing in the house, vet bills, dog sitters, etc. The joy that my boys bring me outway all the bad stuff- I love my guys (see my profile for photos) and I treat them like my children.... do not adopt one if you are not completely sure you can handle it.
