I'll suggest what I suggest to everyone who plans on getting a dog. Go to your local SPCA or Humane Society. Go atleast twice a week, 3 times, or maybe even one. Visit the dogs, see what one *you* think would fit you. Ask to take the dogs out, play with them, talk to them, hug them. Not only does it give them companionship [I'm good friends with alot of the pups at ours!] but it helps you find the PERFECT one. You can go to PetFinder and type in your ZIP code, breed and everything and you may find some you are interested in. Whatever you do, please don;t go to a breeder.
