Lazy human looking for lazy breed

Just another consideration if you're looking into a giant breed puppy: how many stairs are in your home? Particularly how many stairs would your dog have to go up and down to get to a potty area and back? Stairs can be hard on developing joints, and the larger the dog the more cautious you need to be. If it's just a couple from your front door to the yard I wouldn't worry, but if you live in an apartment on the second floor or higher it's something to think about. Smaller dogs can be carried for all those baby puppy potty breaks, and are at lower risk for hip dysplasia overall even if they do walk the stairs sometimes, but obviously a giant breed is going to be too big to carry for 18-24 months until those growth plates are closed.

If you need to look at a smaller dog, consider checking out adults at local shelters and rescues. Often mature dogs are more laid-back and able to settle in the house, you don't have to deal with baby puppy issues, and they've already grown into their adult personality so you have a decent idea of what you're getting, when puppies can surprise you as they grow and develop.
