I had to put mine down on April 4th, 09
I need not say a word--just watch the links, videos are worth a million words.

They have an absolute 6th sense about how gentle they have to be with little ones but are absolute maniacs(in a great way) and always are up for a romp with a grown-up. Best dog I ever had and I still miss her terribly.
One last one- how can you not absolutely melt on this one?

Good luck with your decision. Even though theyre a rather large breed they also do just fine in small apartment life, basically dont ever need to go to a groomer unless youre not comfy bathing and clipping a dogs nails.

I haven't read the entire thread, but you need to pick a dog based on your lifestyle, family, and home.
For example, if you get a high energy dog, and aren't able to spend time with it, it will be a problem for you and the dog.
If nobody is home for most of the day, you might be better off with a... cat.
So tell us about your lifestyle, home/yard, family, activity level, and what you're looking for in a dog.
And last, avoid pet stores like the plague. Inbred dogs from puppy mills sold for high prices are heartaches and high vet bills for years to come.
Visit your local shelters, and fall in love with a unique mutt (often healthier than any purebred dog), and save a life in the process.
If you are patient, and open minded, you will find an amazing dog this way.
Good luck, and do lots of research before you bring one home.

hahahaha nice! love the dendro!!!
my little zoe is from a shelter. she's awesome =) she was supposed to be like 65lbs but she's only about 25lbs. i got her as a puppy so i was able to train her easily. you can even go to a few places and look at dogs before you make a decision. sometimes spending some time with the dog will help you make your decision. good luck! =)

Nevermind the dogs. Setup a tank!!
Hello!!
Quang, I haven't read the entire thread either, but what TripleT said is on point. I have went through 2 acquisitions of dogs in the past 1.5 year, both Havanese and AKC registered. I went through a breeder who went through me like an FBI on a crook.
You should feel comfortable with a breeder after having chosen a breed. Having said that, if you aren't set on a breed (listen to your heart!) than you probably aren't set on a long commitment such as dogs because they live with us for what seems like our entire lives, but in the end, 9/10 times we outlive them, and it's very tough and emotional. It's like having a kid. They're the best.
Just get a bunny. lol.

timber, i'm working on it buddy!
aquascaper82, thanks. i'm leaning towards adoption, but the breed selection is slim around my area. i've been to a few places in LI and upstate NY, and the puppies are mostly listed generically as "hound," which doesn't make the process easier...
dotc0m, haha :bunnies:
