We are looking into getting a dog next year. We have been planning it for years and feel that it's the right time for us as a family.
Slight sticking point is that me and DH can't agree on breed. I am not keen on small dogs, we have Golden retrievers when I was a child and also a Great Dane. DH had a Jack Russell and he doesn't like big dogs. He says our house is too small for a big dog. Our house is actually quite a large detached house with a decent size dining kitchen, large utility, playroom, big lounge and hallway the size of a small room. We also have a reasonable sizes garden, a park outside our front door and woods at the back.
I really want a Golden Retriever, I look at other breeds and think I've found one I would like by then I see a GR and that goes out of the window.
I think DH is just looking for an excuse but do you need a huge house for a big dog?
