I think my mums main reason is she thinks i will get bored of a dog. But all i think about is how i would cope, eg...set up a routine with it, walk before/ after college... my aunty could walk it one hte school run(takin ym lil bro n sis to and from school), my boyfriend and I both talked and were willing to share responsibilities should my mum seriously not want to be too involved in the care. And as for the question of what if my dog gets sick? I decided that i was going to take out a kind of pet insurance, say £20 a month or somethign like that to help cover the costs should the worst occure... I just want a companion to go walk around the park with, play with at home, something to occupy my time, which is otherwise spent being put to bad uses haha!

But as I said, I will take on everybody's advice and in all (upsetting) honesty, i doubt I'll ever get a dog of my own til im moved out (which lets face it, in london for 1st time buyers is gonna be flippin' difficult in intself!) haha

thanks again anyways.

I really dont think you know enough about either breeds seeing as you dont even know which is which. Like Kay said the Huskies are the smaller ones. From what I could actually read and understand your deffinatly not ready for a dog let alone such a high energy working dog.PLEASE do more research. Start now so when your older and have the money you will know the breed.
