why would you breed them?
just to get white puppies

my head is spinning out of control after reading this thread. I am literally dizzy, thank God I am sitting down. Have you ever heard of spellcheck?

Guess what I am thinking?? :
-wait until you move out
-see what kind of job you get
-rescue one from the shelter, they appreciate being saved
-have fun researching all the other breeds, no harm with that
-keep in mind that A LOT of the breeds you are looking at are rare breeds and are gonna cost a pretty penny to have. Think about what YLL has said, why spend $350+ on a dog when you can get one for less than $50 at a shelter and you aren't putting money in private citizen's pockets.

I was wondering the exact same thing, shais_mom......and I agree with you.

tikeyas_mom, from all these pictures, it sounds to me like you are going from looks alone. I suggest you further research the temperment of these breeds and decide what is best for you. Maybe you should wait a while after you move out before getting another dog. Another dog is twice the food, twice the time, and twice the money.

And if you are moving out at such a young age, you'd most likely live in an apartment. It is *not* easy to find an apartment that even allows dogs, let alone 2 *big* dogs.

Hi

I would highly reccomend a Golden Retriever. I have one and she never cares about a thing. Even when my brother bounces on her like a trampoline, she doesn't even budge. They are supposed to be great with any kind of dog, especially if you have a younger dog. They are kind of hyper

[oodlesofpoodles]

why not get another husky, i would recommend a puppy i dont know if your other dog is a male or female but would recommend opp sex sometimes when you try to introduce to grown dogs of the same sex you have major trouble they may both be alpha dogs try going to the bookstore or library and get a book on different dog breeds and see which one would best fit you

[tikeyas_mom]

I know you may think I am going for looks and I kind of am.. I want a dog that has pointed ears and is big.. (so if you count that as look then whatever ) Anyways I am not moving into an apartment I will mostlikely move into a basement sweet or duwplex With fenced back yard.. I need another dog when I move out because Tikeya (my Siberian Husky) Gets really lonely without another dog friend...

[tikeyas_mom]

I will be getting a male (not because I am sexest) but because my dog Tikeya she doent get along with other females She likes her males though dont worrie she is spayed

we dont have very many apartment buildings around here....maybe 5 or 6 at the most, and there are waiting lists miles long, so i really doubt she would be able to get into one....ive never ever seen a young person in an apartment...only elderly ppl...my grandma and papa have lived in some of the apartment bulidings here, so ive seen alot from them...

You were in charge of the breeding?? What about your parents?? That statement sounds like you were the one (thinking about) breeding.

Thanks Shais-mom!! So...there are people that understand my points...great!!
