Is it normal to feel so lonely that you want a pet?

Lately I've been feeling as if days are passing by without me even noticing. I get bored easily and often find myself with nothing to do. Thus, I've been thinking on getting a puppy which I've always wanted and I think this is the absolute right time.
Help me choose, what are your favorite dog breeds?

  • You should do some research into dog breeds before making this decision, learn about the different breeds, and what their backgrounds are, esp what they were originally breed for. Example if you find yourself adverse to barking, which most people do, then you certainly wouldnt want a smaller breed dog, such as a jack russell or shih tzu known to be barkers.

    If you find yourself around children alot, ex. several nieces and nephews then a large breed with guarding tendencies i.e. rottweiler, doberman, german shepherd may not be a great choice as they dont have great track records for safety around kids.

    Rescuing a dog is a wonderful thing to do as well, I would suggest that over buying one from a breeder. I rescued a pit bull / lab mix myself and I cant imagine life without him.

    I also cant say enough regarding pit bulls, they really are the most misunderstood breed out there. Not only are they unbelievably loyal to their owners they enjoy being around and playing with their families as well, they are not complete if the pack (family) isnt whole.

    Good Luck.

    The size of the dog you get will epend on the size of your home and open space, and also the amount of free time you have to exercise it. Even a little dog needs to be walked quite a bit.

    I'd get a small dog but if you have the time for a medium sized one, I have a black and white collie and they are very easily trained as they are so intelligent.

    I was able to train all my collies to go to the toilet on command and to stop just inside the door when they came in so that I could wipe their mucky paws on an old towel.

    All dogs are affectionate though and will just love you to bits.

    I have a Golden Labrador and I can say they are the following: Mischievous, hilarious, kind, good temperament.

    Get one :D

    Do you want a big or small dog? I like both, but our little shihtzu poodle mix is about the perfect size for our house. She likes chasing the cats but they're not scared of her because she's so small, lol

    I also like pomeranians, huskies and border collies. The border collie is the smartest breed. :)
