ORIGINAL: Apollo11 Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: AW1Steve Don't tell my spouse about the dog...she'll want one! [X(] She's never had a dog in her life and she wants a BIG one! (Think Samoyed or German shepherd). [X(] [X(] [image]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Samojed00.jpg/583px-Samojed00.jpg[/image] Leo "Apollo11" Thanks Leo. Unfortunately my spouse is very familiar with the "Sammy". My family had one ("Spirit") when we were dating. She thought it the most beautiful dog she had ever seen. But she hasn't figured out the "darker side" of the dog. Having a dog that is smarter than you are (Like a Samoyed or a border collie , or most herding dogs) causes you to lay awake nights trying to "outhink" your dog, and not let her get bored. Or you will pay. [X(][:(] My rule is (ESPECIALLY for your 1st dog) is never get a smart dog. Settle for a dumb one. They are not as much work! [:D] I'm trying to get her to lean to a medium size one like a Keeshound, some kind of Spitz, or even a small one like a dachsund (which would drive her cat absolutely freaking crazy , definately a plus!).[:D]
