I keep telling my husband that I would like to be in a position to get a dog around this time next year. I keep looking at dogs and breeds online going "oh I like that one!" "that one is my favorite!" "now that one is my favorite!" "I love him!" and pretty much anything between 15lb and 150lbs falls into my 'favorite' category. If it has smooth coat and minimal shedding, it goes into my 'super favorite' category. And anything that has crazy ears is a match made in heavan.
So, how did you all go about picking your dog? Did you walk into a shelter and the dog just looked at you and you knew that was it? Did you research a certain breed before deciding on it? Did you open your front door one morning to see a dog chilling on your porch?
Growing up, we tended to get 'vet clinic rejects.' My mom works at a vet clinic and we always ended up with the critters that the owners didn't want anymore. Be it the GSD puppy that chased cats, the little gray Lacy pup that had worms, or the cat with nerve damage in her leg from getting hit by a car.
So, how do normal people pick a dog?
