In about two years the situation should be right for me to own a dog. I am not sure what breeds would work out for me. i just wanted to tell everyone what i want in a dog, and maybe someone can help me out!
-i want a jogging partner! a dog that will be ready to run with me, and with a playfull side. i want a dog that will play frisby with me and maybe even do agility courses!
-i will probably have my own home, but there is a possiblitly i will be renting an apartment. so that means i will need a smaller sized dog. I prefer a medium sized dog anyway.
-MOST importantly I want a dog that if raised around rabbits will be rabbit freindly. i know all dogs have a prey drive, but my rabbits are my babies and i dont want a dog that is likely to be aggressive with them. (they will never be together unsupervised anyway)
-i dont like dogs that are mouthy and chew on you. i dont like slobbering either. i am fine with shedding, i am sure there are ways to keep it under control. also i have no grooming prefrances.
-it would also be nice if the dog could protect the house. maybe even give more than a warning bark. but i dont want it to be agressive with people when i am taking it for a walk, etc.
-i want an active dog but not a yappy hyper dog. id love a dog to snuggle with and spend lazy days on the sofa with.
some breeds i have been considering are:
shelties and bull terriers
and maybe border collies??
ps. i dont mind a strong willed hard headed dog. i prefer a bit of a challenge
