silasmamaof3 asked:


My family is wanting to get a large dog, we don’t care for small dogs that bark too much. But we are a little confused when it comes to the breed of dog we want because we hear about dogs that have bad temperments and are not good with children. We have three children ages are 10, 7, 5. We just need a dog that would be a good watch dog, but gentle and loving with our kids. Can anyone help?
We want to keep him inside, so we need a breed that would house train easily, too.

I have a medium size yard that is fenced but live very
near Grade Schools and High Schools, the children walk past
my yard frequently, I do not want a breed that is aggressive
with children or other pets. I live on a corner, we also
have wild rabbits and many, many squirrels and birds but I
live in a city. I am disabled and not able to walk the animal daily, but my husband insists that he wants a large dog. Please answer my question as best you can. Has anyone
ever heard of a Tatra dog? From Poland? How would I find
one?

I want to add to my German Shepard and Tabby cat home. My German is High Energy, so I want a breed that is more laid back and good with people/other animals. But I want to stick with a large dog, no yappers!! Sorry, personal choice!

Ok, so I used to have a 90 pound golden retriever. The cage is large, or extra large. I know you can’t keep a ferret in a cage forever, but i need a cage for when I’m not around or am sleeping. So can i use the dog cage?

What large dog breed is the best?

sunnigurl asked:


My dog died recently, and I’m considering buying another dog. I would prefer a large breed, and I would like it to be somewhat of a guard dog. Not mean, but protective. I’ve read good things about German Shepherds, so I’m looking into buying a puppy. Any comments would be appreciated, as I’m still not sure a German Shepherd is the right dog for me. I’m a huge dog lover, and I would have plenty of time for it. Please let me know what large dog breed, you think would be best for me!
