    Thee are many breed selectors on the internet which will help you find a breed which suits you based on your schedule, ability to care for the dog and so on. It is not perfect. you will still need to reasearch the breeds. But you shouldprobably try a selector ( or 3!) and look at the top 5 breeds which come up for you.

    Here are some links for breed selectors:

    Unfortunately, this won't be of help to the young person in the first post, but perhaps it will be to someone else. I'll go just to watch the sledding demonstrations and hopefully give some petting afterward

    The whole family will revel in one of our most popular winter events -"Tails on the Trails." Watch Siberian huskies and sleds, and speed demonstrations, in beautiful meadow. Meet with Adopt-A-Husky volunteers who will show friendly, rescued Siberian huskies that are available for adoption; adoption proceeds support Adopt-A-Husky. View a video and slide presentation on how these dogs and humans work together; presentation tickets limited and available one hour prior to each free showing.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I am SO looking forward to this! Pet Talk has turned me into a Siberian husky fan! I hope it will be a day just like today, sunny and 30s F with nice snow on the ground. I hope there will be petting of the Siberian huskies afterward! And I want to hear the husky WOOs live and in person! I'll take pictures!

    Re: Breed Selectors

    I actually find them to be quite inaccurate. If anything though they are very good for making someone aware about all the things to consider when selecting a dog. In that regard i find them useful.

    I actually think that the Dog of the Day archives paint a Very lively picture The dogs personalities really shine.

    Talking to MANY people who have experience with a breed is really the best way to get a good idea about the breed. Talking to a few all-breed rescues might be a good way to get some realistic suggestions for breeds to look for.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
