What kind of dog should I get2007-11-25 2:53:24

Ok me and my grandmother have been thinking of letting me get a dog. But here is the thing what kind? I want one that I can walk and play with, but wont get in the way of my grandma. She doesn't want a Yorkshi, and I don't want a Pit Bull so wany dogs that would fit for both me and my grandma?

Answers:

Welsh corgi's are a good choice, smart, loving, loyal, good natured, not big, but not small either, they are a good mid size dog that is versatile, they can be a couch potato if you want to just hang and watch tv, or they are ready to go boating, hiking , camping, anything you want to do, as long as they are with you, they are happy!! They average about 25-30 lbs or so, depending on pure bred or mixed with something, either is nice. More along that line would be shelti's, border collies, labs, springers, but I will be honest, just give me a good old fashioned pit bull, staffordshire bull terriers are between 15 and 40 lbs, and they are an awesome dog, read up on them. Anyhow, thats my opinion based on 14 years of dog grooming and 17 years of rescue and transports

Greyhounds are playful and have a moderately low energy level, and they are so adaptable...plus they don't run on attention and wount hound (no pun intended) your grandma.

Anything in the sproting group has a high enough energy level, but they will bug your grandma...these dogs are very social...

Most toy dogs, except the flat nosed breeds will do well with you...

You could get a shih- tzu. Or a golden retriver.

I think temperament will be most important and the physical abilities of your grandmother should also be considered. Will you or your grandmother take on most of the dog responsibility? Will the dog be home with her during the day?
