And the most common so far..... LABS??
I'll give it to you guys, they are way too common. Their health can be as issue since they are so common, but NEVER owning one? You guys have to meet Allie, LOL.
(BTW, I never wanted one either....same reasons. And we all know how that story ends.....she's mommy's baby
)
Sibes I can understand. I need no explanation. BUT, somehow I ended up with one that is manageable and a (somewhat) joy to live with.
(BTW, once again, I never wanted one either.....I didn't want an independent thinking, shedding, prey driven, yard digging, fence jumping, overbearing dog either......But she's my other pride and joy
Dachshunds were always high on my list. I am a very clumsy person, so little dogs aren't generally safe in my house. And the yapping, housebreaking....
(My lovely husband just HAD to have one. She is definately Daddy's little girl.)
BUT, since I HAVE my actual NEVER to OWN list in my own home, here are my other choices,
Any dog, no matter the breed, that has more hair than Ruby. Any dog that is DA, HA.
Technically, I don't have a never to own BREED list. I just look for temperaments that mesh well with my training style, lifestyle, my other dogs and my husband (UGH.)
