It depends on your lifestyle. You have to ask yourself questions like how much time would you have to exercise the dog every day? How much time would you have to groom the dog every day? How much time would you have to clean up after the dog every day? How much money would you be able to spend on vet bills every year? How much money would you be able to spend on food every month? How much money would you have to spend on general supplies (toys, bowls, leashes and collar, grooming supplies) every month?
