dogsssssssssssssssssssssssss...............

If it is your first time in owning a dog, I would probably suggest none of those breeds...In saying that they are very great dogs to own, they just need an informed owner that has a bit of experience in what they are doing...

Well, it depends where you are staying or what kind of dogs you like. If you are staying in apartment, then perhaps a smaller breed dog is more suitable, as larger breed dogs need more space to exercise. I am having a labrador, which is really smart and cute. But she is very active, so we gotta bring her for a walk always, and always play with her. My aunt is having a shih tzu, which I noticed she doesn't need much exercise, she can just sit down there and accompany you. ^_^

i prefer dalmation to you friend. it is a nice dog.
