Thinking of getting a DOG

[Simster]

The kids keep badgering me. Personally I've never had a dog before.

Can the wise and the great give me some dog owning tips? What type to get, best pooper scooper brand, food, that sort of thing.

Cheers

I quite like that idea. The best thing is that I could have it put down if I got bored with it. I'd tell the authorities that it bit my kid, and tell the kids that it got run over.

Mind you, there shouldn't be a problem as long as the dog doesn't smell.

If you get it put down that costs, roll it up in carpet and throw it off a motorway bridge. Money saving tip for you all

Dogs need quite alot of looking after.

Better off getting a CAT.

A dog is for life.

If you don't feel you can commit full time, do not get one. As your kids grow up..15..16..17 and maybe when they leave home, you'll become very responsible for it.

A dog does not just need one walk in the park every weekend, and an occasional lead walk around the block - he needs a PROPER walk every day, especially when they are young. Keeping your dog in for a whole day isn't right; think about it, why do you think cats go out every day? Same mentality.

I'd suggest you think long and very hard - can you give it a loving and caring home, or is it something that your kids want at this moment?

You only want one so you can dress it up.

I thought we'd decided that it wasn't.

If it smells too much, or shits everywhere, or irritates my cat, then springal's method could easily feature to be honest. No harm done.

Does anyone have a Bernese Mountain Dog? If so, are they as wicked cool as they look?

Well want one.

This is a good idea as you can take it back when you've had enough. Remember to keep the receipt though.

Please don't go to a breeder, there are so many rescue dogs looking for homes.
Take your kids to your local RSPCA and let them choose one. They'll be choosing one they really love and it gives a stray dog a new home with kids that really want it.

I know people have mixed feelings about Staffie's but they really are great dogs with children, playful, loyal and obedient. If you can find a younger one , say under 2 years/ 18 months and train it well you're kids will have a loving companion for the length of it's life.

Can you do that? Obviously I'm not into killing dogs so I would rather do this if possible.
