After the hassle we went throug adopting our boy I'm not going through a rescue any time soon. Long story not getting into so please no "you should go to a rescue" comments. We want a purebred as our next dog.
We were looking at getting a Newfie in a few years (waiting for Copper to grow up and be neutered). Then we heavily decided not to in the end. We both agreed it would be unfair for such a big dog to be stuck in a 2nd floor apartment. We have no yard to speak of but to parks within easy walking distance (less then a block away) where we can turn them loose. We also are going to take said pup to an obedience trainer.
Now I understand a lot of this list has to do with training but I'm looking for breeds that are known to be (enter phrase here).
Here's are list:
~ a breed that's know to be easy in the house training department
~ breed that's not known to be a barker
~ good with kids (trust me we live in an area with lots of little ones so he/she will be well socialized)
~ known to be good with other dogs (again will be well socialized)
~ nothing under 15lbs
~ easy to train
- don't need an Einstein (like a collie) dog
~ hair and drool don't scare us
~ no prey drive (we've got kitties and ratties, I also know it's part of training)
~ we go for long walks every Sunday (like 4miles since we both have off) so need a dog with energy but not a super high amount of it. We also go on many daily walks.
- we want a dog who has the energy to go but can be content on a couch as well when not outsider
Wanted to edit as I forgot to add this: sadly we are not allowed boxers bulldogs pit bulls Doberman akitas rottweilers or shepherds due to landlords insurance
