What type of dog should I get?

Does any one have a dog, what type of dog is it? Do you love it?
and what type do you recommand me?

mutts. any cross breed. they live longer cost less and are always more loveable. but if you get a pure bred I recomend labradors. they are so friendly and easy to take care of. and they are rated the best family pet. plus their are so many in shelters because people breed them and then can't take care of them all, they kill almost 700 every day in utah. (where I live) I checked at the shelters and that's what they told me.

It depends on what type of person you are. My dog is a Shih Tzu and he is so loving and quiet and very smart. He only cries or barks when he has to go out for #1 or #2. He loves my kids and they have fun running around with him because he is so playful. At other times he is very lazy but cute and sweet. If you like outside dogs maybe a big dog would do. I don't know how but my dog and I match.

Any kind of retriever mix. In my experience they make the best dogs... and live a long time.

I highly recommend you search on http://www.petfinder...
to find a dog in a shelter near you, many times you can also find puppies.

I've had a few dogs, but my best friend has two dogs, the sweetest thing ever, and the best thing is that they're non-allergenic, so if you have any family members that are allergic or friends, then they can cuddle with them without sneezing or breaking out. ^_^

They're both shi-tzus and I love them sooo much! I also know about 5 other people that have shi-tzu mixes and they're non-allergenic too and they're sweet too. They're also small and most of the ones I know are fun to play with, kid friendly, and don't mind dressing up, and some even love dressing up! A lot of them also hate long walks and are fairly easy to train, so the work is less on you and them. ^_^

Hope I was of help!

What are you looking for in a dog? I like small dogs.

I have a sable and white Papillion and he is one great dog. He is intelligent, playful, affectionate, and the most obedient dog I've ever owned. His only faults are that he barks too much and he takes a long time to warm up to strangers. Every time someone walks down the sidewalk in front of our house he goes nuts. He takes his guard dog duties very seriously.

Another dog I really like is toy fox terriers. If you are looking for a little more substantial dog Norfolk terriers are very nice.

I would personly get a Shih Tzu because there smart, playful and loving.

eskimo2008 that is bs they dont kill 700 of one dog everyday thats 252000 dogs a year and theres no way thats probable for just one type of dogg its is possible but no and shih tzu's arent always they best sure they may be smart playful and loving but this may sound weird but there moods can change very suddenly from cuddly to the labradors are a good dog but there big so it wouldnt always be the best dog for around kids pending on the dog and or the kid retreivers are pretty good because they seem to protect little kids and follow them and are loving if you catch my drift I've had my share of purebread and I find them more straight forrward and easier to teach but it depends I've had quite afew dogs such as rottweiller, cockerspaniel, boarder coalie, lassie coalie right now I have a blue healer cross australian shepard and australian cattle dog cross australian cattle dog the blue healer cross is a boy roughly 5 years of age he likes to protect but now that he's getting older hes getting chubby so hes a bit slower he used to be the fastest dog I've ever seen because we have a quad that goes roughly 60 and he could keep up to it in 3rd gear whitch is about 35+ and now I got the aussie cross from a friend shes about 1 and a half and she is the most play full thing ever she likes evryone and shes extremly smart and when wer bringing cattle in we just have to open the gate up and she brings them all in by herself and she stands about 1.3/4ft high and thats pretty amazing she hasnt grown much and we didnt teach her that and I got her like right when she was weened off so iunno how she learned that quik learner I guess p.s sorry bout the spelling im in a hurry good luck!

I had a golden retriver for most of the first ten years of my life. she was the sweetest, nicest, most obedient dog in th world. but she shed a lot. then about 10 months befor she died of lukemia e got a labrador retriever. craziest dog in the world. chewed everything in sight. and I mean everything. our house is wood andhe chewed off part of it in two places. my mom ordered $200 shoes in the mail and he chewed them up out of the package. we got rid of him about a month before my golden retriever zoe died. thn zoe died and we were dogless for months. we decided we wanted a small dog. we bought a Havanese. she is themost incxredibly cut thing I've ever seen in my life. right now she is 3 and a half months old and weighs 5 and a half lbs. she will grow to about 10 lbs. she is learning what she needs to know for her obediance class really fast and I highly recomend a Havanese.

So many great types but I love Border Collies :-)

I have a Siberian Husky, I love her. she doesnt bark or whine for anything but she knows better. She is the most awesome dog ever. I also had a Spaniel and they are quiet too...What kind of person are u? Do you like dogs that bark or not? The big or small ones

Mutts.

They usually have much less health problems than purebreds, and also cost less than buying a purebred from a store or breeder (although 45% of all dogs at shelters are purebred).

And killing 700 dogs/day is possible. My county kills 30,000/year.

You know...it's good to ask other people what kind of dogs they have, just to get some ideas...but before you actually go get one, it would be best to get on line and do some research...you can even take a little test at dogbreed.com and see what breeds fit into your lifestyle the best. Getting a dog is a real commintment...big dogs live 8 to 13 years, small dogs longer...so I'm sure you want to get a dog you can live with for that long.

fordkid9...It's VERY possible that they kill that many Labs in a year...in ONE state...There were approximately 10 MILLION dogs and cats killed across the US just last year!! ...and black dogs are the ones most frequently left in the shelters by adopters (even if they are purebred dogs)...You'd do well to do some research, too.

I have a chihuahua and he is VERY hyper. He is a lot of fun, but also a lot to handle and needs a lot of attention.
I also have a rat terrier that is really kind, loyal, he likes to follow us around and he is fun to play with! Any terriers are good.
My boyfriend has a beagle mixed with a terrier and she is a sweetheart, loves to cuddle. but also likes to dig. As well as my chihuahua!

cavalier king charles I've got 3

yes I know its possible but for 1 small shelter to kill 700 aday thats highly unlikely im not saying they dont im saying they probly dont because one small shelter killing 700 dogs evrydaythere wouldnt be many labradors left im not saying its impossible just highly unlikely

He didn't SAY in one shelter...he said, "in the state of UTAH"...that's 700 dogs in the whole state...

HI
The best dog ever would be a bassett hound. we have 2 and love them to death they sleep with use and are just like little babies. they have the big floppy ears with short little legs. and are very good with kids. they are very playful and everything is a toy to them. my 18 says they are a babe magnet. all chicks love them he says. I think because they are not a common dog they everyone down the street has so when people have one they all stop to see them. they are such a friendly dog that you can take them out anywhere with you. the only thing is you know on commercials and movies you don't see to many bassett hounds on them I think because they are a type of dog that is harder to train and for them to shake a paw while their paws are hugh but they cant get their legs up. they can be very subborn but as long as you don't expect them to get your paper in the morning and make the coffee and just want a dog that will love to death and greet you everytime you come through the door like theirs no tomorrow this is the dog for you they are such a people dog that they are always in the same room as you and even when you clean you have to kind of lift them up to vacuum under them just a little lazy. they enjoy waking everyone up in the morning and when everyone is up and about they go back to sleep ha ha ha Im sure they say each day. oh kisses they have plenty of those and get lots of loven back. they have finaly figured out where their toy box is now if only I could get them to put the toys back into the toy box. in a nut shell we love our hounds and I would recommend that dog to any one with lots of patients. and one that wants a dog that not everyone has.
