You know upon further reflection, if I truly had to get a dog tomorrow... I'd pass on the pap puppy, not enough time to research lol. I'd probably go down to the local RSPCA with my very good friend who knows what I'm looking for in a dog (or rather, what I'm not looking for) and I'd adopt a young adult rescue. Small mixed breed with no aggressive tendencies, quite active and confident, potential for dog sports with a very inexperienced but keen handler, but most importantly a dog that I can curl up with on the couch at the end of a long day.
Actually, I'd prefer to rescue through the foster dog route, but I'm not sure if I could arrange this in a day. It's nice to dream of an impulsive buy, but it's not something I would ever do! I'd have to take my friend with me as she is very much a realist and would stop me from buying the one that was all wrong for me.
