I'm looking for a good puppy HELP?

Question

My son is 5 yrs. and I want a good sturdy dog but a medium size

anyone have any ideas of what type a dog would be good for us???

Answer 1

Shelters and rescues are full of wonderful dogs.  They also have wonderful people who can help you meet and find the perfect dog.  Dogs are not all the same, even within the same breed.  

Bring your entire family and visit your local shelter or rescue adoption event.

Answer 2

theres alot more to consider when getting a dog like how much time will it have to be alone? can you afford proper training , and health care? how much exercise are you going to be able to give each day? things like that.

heres a test that will tell you a breed that might work for you.

Answer 3

Take your son to a shelter to find a new pet.  Muts are always the most sturdy and stable dogs.  You will find one that you and your son will love. There are so many sad and lonely pets at the shelters, please look there first before buying from a breeder or pet store. If you don't want a mut, they also have lots of pure breeds.  Go there and meet them in person though, to determine their personality.  Play with them for a little while and take a leash so you can take it on a walk around the shelter to get to know them better to help with your decision.

Answer 6

A Pomeranian is perfect .Because The Pomeranian is a compact, short-backed, active toy dog. He has a soft, dense undercoat with a profuse harsh-textured outer coat. His heavily plumed tail is set high and lies flat on his back. He is alert in character, exhibits intelligence in expression, is buoyant in deportment, and is inquisitive by nature. The Pomeranian is cocky, commanding, and animated as he gaits. He is sound in composition and action.  

Answer 7

Yes what that person said. A shelter or a rescue is a good p[lace to go. but you could go to a breeder. but all the dogs i have are from the shelter and are very good. My dog a medium size dog is a lab mixed with beagle  and is very good. and pretty.

i agree with catrus...

you should go to the shelter and adopt a dog...they are amazing animals that need good homes

go for a lab or boxer...they will be sturdy enough for your baby boy
