For some time I’ve had a strong desire to get a dog, but my wife is in opposition to the matter. To be more specific she is not against a dog per se but her condition is that it is one of those small poodle-type dogs. I have no interest in those however and want a German shepherd or husky that has more of a physical presence. Part of the issue is also that we live in the city and there isn’t a tremendous amount of space for a large dog so perhaps it’d get bored in the house. We also travel a lot so it might be home alone an intolerable amount for its emotional health. I’ve never actually owned a dog and growing up my family always kept cats and birds. I was always besotted with those but from my understanding the love of a dog included as part of a family is on a completely different level. It’d also be nice to have kids growing up with a dog as a friend in their formative years.

Shepherds are spectacular, but require above average training and attention to get them properly integrated into your family. Huskies dial that up to 11. Similar sized dogs like Goldens or Labradors are much easier to train, have softer temperaments, and are easier if you have children. No matter what, consider trying fostering those types of dogs before adopting or buying one. You can often adopt your foster dog if it turns out to be the right fit.
