You have to research the breeds before you get a dog. Each pure bred dog has its own flaws. Dalmations have been known to have hearing problems and go deaf eventually. Other breeds suffer from hip displacia and skin problems. You are better off getting a mutt that needs a good home.

i agree. there are so many dogs that need homes, and mutts generally have fewer health problems. but i can't really talk as i have a pure bred irish wolfhound and a mutt. the wolfhound has had no end of health problems.

Be careful. Each pure breed of dog has its own flaws. Dalmations are infamous for going deaf. Golden retrievers, German Shepards and Rotweillers get hip displacia. Pugs get plenty of skin problems. If I was in the market to get a dog, I would probably go for some type of lab, maybe a black lab.

I love mutts and from the purebreed list I like a lot as not to be able to pick one.

If I ever get a dog, I want to get a Saint Bernard. I'm not sure why but that's been my favorite breed of dog for quite a while now. They do get pretty big in size and weight though lol.

Other than from a dog pound I have never bought a dog and probably wound't. However if I was going to it would be to buy a Bernese Mountain dog. Really nice looking dogs. I work for FedEx and see lots (more than I want to) of dogs and really like those.

I would like to have a Golden Retriever. They are so lovable! But, it will have to wait till we have a bigger house. Take care, have a nice evening.

I like german sheppherds. But I know every person has his own tastes. I had a german sheepherd and she was a good watchdog but sweet and motherly to my smaller grankids (who often wanted to take her eyes out). After my Misty passed away, I got a german sheppherd puppy. I´m training her but right now she´s just a naughty girl.
