I want to get a large breed dog cuz the toy poodle i got likes my mom more so i told her its your dog now and she said i can have a dog but i want the large looking dog not for fighting i just want something large that will also deter predator a robber and i have delt with mosly big dogs all my life and basically i want to kno which wud be okay with a toy poodle im stuck with pit bull (large), rottie, dobe, and GSD. So which is best so i can do research on the breed BTW im getting the dog as a puppy. (by stuck with i mean am deciding between) so any suggestions. trust me the new pup and the old will be loved to the limit

If you aren't picky on the breed why not just get a mutt dog from the shelter?

I wouldn't purposely look for any kind of bulldog if I were you.With a Toy Poodle in the house a DA prone dog probably wouldn't be a good idea.And GSD's and Rottweiler's can be a bit much for novice owners to handle.

i wouldlbut they are just too upredictable and if my dog got hurt my mom wud be pissed cuz he is over 300$. and Akwardly most dogs I have ever owned and gotten attached to were total strays or were abandoned on the side of the road. I wud love to adopt but im more attracted to get strays instead of adopt one time i actually picked up raised and kept a whole litter i got their mom as a stray while she was prego kept them all til death. But i have been thinking about working at a shelter. For some reason i can really rehabilitate dogs especially strays.

Just know that having a Pit Bull with the Poodle will most likely result in you having to "Crate and Rotate" or the possibility of the poodle getting hurt is very strong.The chances of this actually increase with a well bred APBT.If keeping the dogs completely separate for their entire lives and the constant precautions and extra vigilance required to keep everyone safe sound like more than you can/will be able to handle,I would hold off on the idea of a bulldog.

What do you want in a dog? An active pet to exercise or compete with? Just a lap dog to cuddle? Short or long hair? How large is your living space?How many hours a day will the dog be left alone?There are many things to consider before settling on a breed then you still have to do your research on that particular breed before making a final decision.If I were you I would start by making a list of what you do/don't want and what you are capable of caring for(veterinary care/food is often cheaper for a small dog)And some breeds require less exercise than others.

So, what happens when your new dog likes your mom better than you? Will you get another dog then too?

[BPitt]

no, i just dnt like small dogs that much im thinking about a saint benard or a great pyranees he has been with pits b4 but maybe i dnt have to worry cuz im supposedly getting my chow/pit/GSD dog back when i move we have been attached since the day i took her off the street. And ya i have many hrs with the dog to spend the toy poodle sleeps alot and he is getting older and i have nothing todo really so i want a dog that i can connect with i just dnt have that with pedigrees moslty strays.

I would wait to get a dog until you are not living with your parents. How old are you?

Yeah, I would wait too.

I know this from experience.

I never had dogs growing up that weren't my PARENTS' dogs FIRST. I really don't see how it would work any other way when I think about it. It worked perfectly. Although my parents' had dogs I loved very much and I thought of them as mine; and maybe you don't like the Poodle, I really do believe it would be best for the dog and secondly for YOU if you wait.

I would wait to get a dog. Owning a dog is expensive and a huge commitment. Not to mention the breeds you listed are often not allowed in rental homes and home insurance is very difficult to get with those breeds. At 16, you don't really know where you'll be in 5 years.

oh the one i plan on gettin is a stray i had for like say three years she has been with my poodle b4 they are great with each other. So when we move we are gonna go get her from my dad. She is a big gurl now and im gonna take her and my toy poodle to their favorite dog park once i get her back.

yall act like yall never had a dog as a child.

[BPitt]

oh i have had many as for the other part of op and butthole im kinda lost o.O but i gotta say some ppl on here are jerks there is this one guy that came outta nowhere and said the story between me and my dog was CRAP like WTF man i dnt even kno the guy!

[attackDoold]

I'm not even going attempt to understand what you're typing until you use some punctuation. This isn't a knock or anything, but I can't follow anything you're trying to say. It's just a bunch of jumbled words randomly arranged without any meaning to me right now.

of course peple are being like buttholes that like to act that way. its all the time when round here new sounding questions from members that are also new you asked. just do all you can and your best at ignoring it man, id do too

[BPitt]

alright man at least ur nice. not that im saying anyone here is mean. im just saying at least you understand cuz im a newbie and all.

[SM9WI8oI]

Dude, just wait to get your own dog. I'm 17 and could have had my own bulldog AGES ago, but it's best to be able to 100% raise the dog on your own how you want to without any outside influence. It'll be a great learning experience, too.

[AndyColemants]

I bet you are very excited abouting getting your dog back. I hope she gives you lots of kisses!

[BPitt]

[BPitt]
