You may move this if it should be in “Dog Breeds.†Anyways, I know I’ve been posting a lot, but I tend to forget things and have things move to my head before I get it all out or things come at later times.
Ok, I am going to ask and I don’t want the answer “Whatever breed you think is best,†I want people to give me their opinions on which dog breed(s) they thing I should look into to give me an idea. Now this is strictly your opinion, and I’d like if you could tell me the pros and cons you see in the breed as well as any health issues they may be prone to. I’d also like a link to where you got the information, but don’t just link me to the site because I want it in your words, because I enjoy being complicated! Here is my basic personality overview, as well as physical, lifestyle, and you go off on your merry match-making way!
Personality: I’m pretty laid-back, not to the point of lazy but I do enjoy lounging around the house 9 times out of 10. When I am active, I am get-up and go I will not quit until the task which I am going for is completed or I am unable to stand up anymore. People have been known to call me stubborn, bull-headed, and opinionated and I cannot say I disagree. However, I am very loyal and loving to people I really do trust and would be willing to take a bullet for someone I’m devoted to. I am very shy, not much of a people person as I am lacking in actual social skills and find it difficult to portray the emotions I want. I am down-to-earth, and when it comes to things I value or believe in there is really no changing my mind even though I am normally very open-minded and will listen, certain things I am dead-set in.
Physically: I am 5’4 around 134-140lbs, I am average not overly skinny but not overweight either. I am pretty strong in my upper body, but I am lacking in my lower body strength due to HORRIBLE knees that ache, lock, and swell all the time. My calves are very taunt also making running over distances difficult and at times impossible. I am fairly active when it is nice outside, I do walk everyday no matter what and usually spend an estimated 6 hours outdoors everyday with my dog.
Lifestyle: Laid-back, I do ride and show horses and go on trail rides so I’d need a dog capable of keeping up with me as well as being hardy enough to endure long distances. I own small animals, rats and a bunny, and they are a pretty prominent figure in my life so I’d need a dog (of course sometimes it depends on personality) that’d have a fairly low prey-drive or can be taught to co-exist with small animals. When do leave the house, normally, our dogs are always in tow. Of course I have a Lab, Joansy girl, and would need a breed (once again can also depend on the dogs personality) that isn’t known to be overly aggressive towards other dogs.
