Andy Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Labs, Gsd's but from a rescue and at least 3 years old. Otherwise they will still be in the puppy, chew, eat, zoomies, stage. an older more settled dog/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 There are many puppies in shelters - the one I volunteered at, we would get in a litter of puppies every month atleast. Of course they went like hotcakes. (less than 12 weeks) Also have seen a lot of 'older' puppies in shelters too, like anywhere from 3 months to 11 months. But hey, it's ultimately their choice whether to get a puppy or not. Just make sure, when they are getting a puppy, that they get one from a reputable breeder. Especially for Labs, as they are prone to cancer and obesity even when bred and exercised properly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I can only advise them they will do what they want to at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Bully breeds would be good for less extensive exercise times. Gsd's are prone to separation anxiety so I'm not sure full time hours at work are a good fit. Also lurchers/labs/retrievers/possibly a mastiff? Not sure about that one. Maybe a newfy but agIn not too sure about exercise requirements (but they're gorgeous dogs!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think it depends on the dog not all dogs behave how they are written on paper lol. Thanks for all the suggestions I will pass them all on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think it depends on the dog not all dogs behave how they are written on paper lol. Thanks for all the suggestions I will pass them all on! in case there's still room for another suggestion, what about a Chow or a Rough Collie? I read that he wants a Rottie (protective and all) while she wants something cuddly so I'm thinking of some breeds that fulfills both criteria. I know Chows aren't that tiny, but my cousin's late Chow is very cuddly and IMO one of the cutest fluff ball on Earth despite their teddy-bear looks they're protective and wary of strangers so might be a good choice Rough Collies are also protective although they might not be the best choice for a guard dog and they tend to bond very closely to their family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
