So I've tried using the various online quizzes/tests that give you results for what your ideal dog breed would be, I'm not concerned about their accuracy or their validity but I'd appreciate a more hands on approach where I can voice my actual habits instead of clicking the best option that sorta kinda i guess matches me.
I won't be getting a dog for at least a year. Within the next 1-3 I hope, and I am already obsessively researching dog breeds to find the perfect one. Needless to say, I'm a planner. I can't even pick out a new tube of mascara without researching it and scouring through reviews, so searching for something such as a dog breed has made me gone slightly stir crazy,
Time to talk about my life style now I guess. I'm 17 so by the time I get a dog I'll probably be 19 or 20, not planning ANY children or any elders to be living with me until I am an elder myself, of course something could happen but taking all variables out, it wont.
No allergies or major health issues that would inhibit me from taking care of the dog.
I will be living in either an apartment or a small house with a yard if I'm lucky, hoping to not need a roommate. An average amount of people will be going in and out.
I would not consider myself an extremely active person but if I have a reason to I will eagerly go out and exercise. For me it's just basically getting myself up and out to go and do it so maybe a stubborn dog? :decision: When indoors I tend to just chill out and will lay around and watch tv or read or crochet.
I love talkative dogs but if i end up living in an apartment my future neighbors would probably appreciate a dog who didn't howl alot.
I have a cat that I plan taking around with me till the day she passes(she's turning 10 this year) so it isn't an option to have a dog with a high prey drive just for the safety of my kitty.
I dont particularly like slobber but I do realize it comes with owning a dog so preferably a dog not known for its slobbers.
Shedding I'm fine with, I'm willing to brush the dog weekly or even a quick run over with a brush daily, but I'd rather not have the dire need to go to the pet salon or whatever they're called to get it's fur all done.
I also love large dogs, like 45 pounds and up which needs to be taken into consideration if I do end up in an apartment building.
I have no problem with training and am guaranteed to spend time training but I am not sure if I could do hours upon hourssss of training simply because I lose motivation.
Hmmm think thats it, ask me any other questions need be but I feel like I considered a decent amount of information, and sorry for the length :grouphug:
