    Don't give up! It took my mom and I weeks to find Tinkerbell! and When we got Roxy we weren't expecting to get a larger dog at all! We were looking for something tiny, but look what I ended up with! You WILL find that perfect pooch for you!

    Don't give up. It takes love, patience & commitment to own a dog therefore you have to be patient, committed & have an open heart & mind when it comes to picking out your dog.

    When I first got Nanook, I searched high & low, over & over again to find my match. Finally 2 months later I found him.

    It took me about a year to find Raustyk & I had to go through 2 months of torture to get her. I had to go to court hearings, volunteer at the shelter, work at a vets office and assist with obedince, agility & behavioral training in order to get her.

    Then there's Kaige. It took me about a year to find the right breed, then I had to wait 8-9 months to get him.



    Good things come in due time my friend.

    And I agree with the others, getting an adult dog seems like it is the best route in your case.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    From reading your other posts on this subject, it sounds to me like you should look for an adult dog instead of a young puppy.
    I second this. Have you done a walk through at your local shelter? Sometimes its best to look that way, rather than just over the net and through the papers.

    It's just like finding any "soulmate", it takes time. You'll know it when you meet the right dog. I agree, though, I would try to find a dog that's already potty trained and isn't going through the puppy stage. Good luck, though.

    Patience. When it is meant to be it will be. It took me well over a year and a ton of visits to our local shelter before I found Sasha. That was 10 years ago.

    The right dog will find you before you know it. Good luck.
