I didn't choose the same breed as an adult. When I was growing up, my parents always had german shepards. Our first one Sheba weighed 85 lbs. She was gorgeous. She had one litter of 8 pups. All of them were healthy and gorgeous. Sheba lived to be 12 years old, and died peacefully in her sleep. We always had german shepards after her. Great pets!!!! But now I have chosen to have a Chihuahua "Chica" to be my very own first pet!!!
I am so happy with her.
