A dog that likes you as much as you like it. Doesn't matter what it is, how it looks, how big or small. It will look into your eyes and tell you how much it loves you every day it's alive. That is the dog that will be your best friend.

I had a Golden Retrevor and she was such a beautiful friend. It was so sad the day I had to take her to the vet and have her life ended to stop her pain. She just looked up at me and closed her eyes. Some day I will get another and hope it will be as faithful as Bonnie

Something like this happened to me as well Friendindeed. I had a Irish Setter years ago and he got hit by a vehicle and had his legs&hip broken. I had to put him down, it was one of the saddest moments in my life, I cried.

Daren 1 I live next door to a collie her name is Nell
and when I go in to see her she talks to me I often take her for her walk and one day we were in the woods we came across a Deaf man and he couldnt say sheep dog so he called her WOOL DOG so now she is known as the wool dog. Laddie was a special dog you must have been so proud of him god bless him thanks for the info on Laddie paws for ever x

Very cool story Daren and Mel, collies are very clever. I've never owned one, but have had neighbors with them and they seem to be very caring family dogs with smarts to boot.

My other neighbor had a Siberian Husky, in S.FL, the summers were tough for her, she used to howl and bark all mixed together I swear she could say I love you, it was weird and she was such a sweet dog.

I had a half Belgium, half German Shepard growing up, she was the best, loyal protective, great with us kids, we had many other dogs, but she was my favorite. I agree that jr's are great as well, very energetic, my old business partner had one, he was great. He used to jump off the walls chasing a ball or laser, was great with a basketball also, good catch player.

Large dog: .... Great Dane = Very docile and loyal but intimidating to strangers:
But: They Shed, eat and poop a LOT: Short life span:

Small dog: .... Bichon = Cute, loving, non-shedding and hypo-allergentic etc:
But: Grooming fees, very separation anxiety prone:

well I have cats because I love them the best but also I work a lot and they are easier to care for than a puppy. I guess if I had a fenced in yard my choice of a dog would be a Newfoundland or a Brittny Spaniel. Good luck hope you make the right choice for the one you want.

Get a dog that is right for your life style. If you are not a very fit and active family/person then do not get a big dog. all dogs are hard work though and you must not be out of the house for more than 8 hours a day.
If you are a first time dog owner i would suggest a smaller, lower maintenance dog like a cavalier, because they are not high energy and are friendly with near enough everyone. the only problem may be the grooming or the malting.
theres my advice :)
