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.

Without making it a personal question (hopefully), what's the main reason she's opposing?

I thought the same and I'm still a big NO to have ours in our bed, but this is all relative. Basically a lot of this depends on the dog breed (assuming you're also ok if it's not a shepherd lol) Like if folks are afraid of the upkeep, lookup for dogs that are little maintenance (short fur, easy to train, people friendly etc). Ours self-walks herself and knows where is her bed and we just ask her to go there if we're busy. I also love her personality! https://warpcast.com/stas/0xaf34b383
