I'm glad to hear you're crossing the Boxer off your list, but like others have said, I don't feel that you should even be looking into getting another dog yet....really, I'm not intending to be rude, but how do you honestly kow your Dad won't be allergic to the next dog??


Have you checked into GSD rescue organizations yet?

Here's a link to a rescue in Washington (not sure if its close to you or not, but its all I could find at the moment):

Washington German Shepherd Dog Rescue

I'm sure they'd have an easier time choosing the proper home for Max than you will, as they obviously are involved with the breed and can properly screen potential adopters.
