First Time Dog Owners

Someday I would like to have/buy a Dog(s) but I have NEVER in my life owned one, so I want to know what Dog breeds would y'all recommend/suggest to someone who hasn't had one before?Β 



P.S: My "dream Dog" is a Husky, cause my favorite animal in the wild is the Wolf.

P.P.S: I am not a fan of "purse dogs"/small breeds nor do I enjoy being around super large breeds A.K.A "holy sh*t dude, that dog is huge!".Β

First off - Huskies are bred to do things like run the Iditarod. They have incredible energy and endurance, Can you provide that kind of workout? No? Then your Husky will be a "Houdini dog" and find ways to escape, resulting in bailing him out of Animal Control and paying fines (at best) or him getting lost and/or run over. These are VERY high energy dogs.

A Klee Kai might be a good alternative.



And props for asking. So many people get dogs without doing the necessary research...it often turns out badly. I hope you find your perfect breed.

Huskies are my fav too, but if if you're looking for a good dog around the size of a Husky, I'd go with aΒ  Rotwieler or German Shepard.

I am a first-time dog dad, and we got a golden retriever. She is amazing! They are very smart, and eager to please dogs. Potty training her didn't take long at all!Β
