Yeah lol, I shouldn't even be thinking about what breed before I know I can *actually* get one! But still, might as well think ahead and do all the research. I might take care of my friends dog for a week in the summer, but I haven't mentioned it to my parents yet. I'm sure my mom would say "Well, lets see how that goes and then we'll see" but I was hoping to get a dog before late July. But still, a late dog is better than no dog. =) Unfortunately, I can't volunteer because it is a 25 minute drive away. And even if I *did* find a way to go, the volunteer hours are on Thursday, when I go in to Yorkton for Rythmic Gymnastics. But I'll definately keep that in mind. What if I decide to get a puppy from a breeder though? Any advice for that, just in case?
