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.
