Well, I already have a wonderful furry companion, but she REALLY needs a friend. I love her SO much, she’s SUCH a great dog. I’ve been wanting to get a big dog for a while, but I own an Italian Greyhound so I’m guessing I need to keep a dog around her size to play with her.
I was going to get a puppy, but I don’t want to have to go through that training and waking up multiple hours of the night. It’s definitely like having a baby and I already did that once w/ my little girl and she’s now 2 years old and very well behaved. So I was thinking of adopting a dog that’s no more than 2 years old.
I live in an apartment, near parks and take my dog for at least ONE long walk a day and outside whenever she needs to go. She’s really a couch potato and the sweetest thing who loves everyone.
I’m looking for a dog her size that can play with her.
So I need one that will be ok w/ where I live and how I live and not have TOO much energy, but just enough so that’s it’s playful.
I HATE lots of barking, like a terrier, they drive me NUTS. My dog goes out on the balcony for like 15 minutes and barks and that’s all the barking she does all day.
I’d like a dog that’s easier to train and willing to please.
I also want one that really bonds with me and my boyfriend, but won’t hurt people by being possessive of us.
So what kind of dogs should I look into?
Also, are there any good online quizes for this?
THOROUGH answers REALLY appreciated.
