What is the best pup to get a college age girl2007-11-25 2:51:56

She will live in an apartment, she's never had her own dog, but she'd love one. She will be working everyday.

Answers:

Get her a toy stuffed dog to lie on her bed. Some of them can be quite lifelike.

1. she's busy with class and work

2. she's living in an apartment

3. she has other things to think about besides taking care of a live dog.

IF - and only IF, IF, IF, she is one of those rare organized and responsible college students who can do it all at age 19, then consider one of the toy breeds - chihuaha, yorkie, etc. that can live inside - and even be tought to use a kitty box for pottying.

But be fair to your college student - don't get her a pet until she's graduated and earning a good living.

A cat would be more suitable, they are much lower maintenance.

Any Pup requires alot of time I would suggest a cat or maybe a fish.

Absolutely NOT a puppy of any breed. This girl is going to be busy with school and work - not to mention a social life. She won't have time for a puppy. Sounds like she won't really have time for even a mature dog.

Best to stick with an animal that doesn't require social interaction - like a cat or a fish.

I have a 17yo daughter, and I rarely see her between school and sports and social activities her pets would be dead if it weren't for me.
