you should do research on dogs. find out what dog would be better in your family. you said before that the dog has to be under 15" well thats a start it also has to be a good family dog. so research on the web and find out a few breeds and each breed you find do more research on them find out their illnesses how much you should walk them and are they hunting dogs and what they use to hunt even their history like were the name of the breed came from etc its good to know that stuff.
once you have done that maybe you can do a sideshow thing for your family and as a family choose the right dog for you.
good luck ____________ Lisa Ianniello

My sis has a lab named honey and she wouldnt hurt a fly. She is also very very loving and friendly. Most lab that ive ever seen have never been aggresive lookin except from a rescued one but i think that labs got its reasons. If you get a lab make sure its hips are in good condition as lots of labs are born with bad hips.

hi
I havnt been on here for ages !!!!!
choosing a fammily dog takes lotts of diffrent things to consider - if you want a dog that will enjoy lots of walks , be kind , friendly with people and other dogs and your not too botherd about training the dog to too huger degree then a beagle or whippit would be good choices if like me you like an obeidiant dog that you can spend ages teaching new tricks and have lotts of time to enjoy playing and walking then a springer spaniel make great pets for fammilys.
My faverout dog is a collie cross springer they are perfect for me and the springer side makes them ever so afectionate and playful with my 3 young children.
How old are your children ?
Although rescuing a dog is lovely i always think when you have children that are young it is best to get a pup so you can bring them up together !!
It so exciting choosing a pup isnt it ?
love coliel
ps sorry for my dreadul spelling !!! |
