dog deterrent
I am a full time nursing student at the moment, so I am not planning on getting a puppy just yet…But I am trying to do plenty of research to find out what breed of dog is best. Of the surveys/dog breed selector quizzes I have taken, they keep pointing to Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Anatolian Shepherd, German Shepherd, Mastiff…
Here is what I am looking for:
A dog that I can leave alone while at work, with access to the outdoors and indoors. I plan on exercising the dog with walks and playing. And I plan on taking the time needed when I first bring the puppy home in order to form a bond with it.
A large dog that can will be a deterrent to strangers, yet not be very aggressive or overly friendly.
One that will get along with my small Chihuahua and my cat.
I do plan on taking any breed I get to obedience classes for socialization and proper training. Among working with the dog in general.
Above all else, I want an excellent companion.
I will be an RN, in my own home with a large fenced in yard, and more than likely single.
Any help you can provide me will be most appreciated.
Also, I have owned a german shepherd/chow mix, lab, cockerpoo, chihuahua, poodle, bloodhound…just to give a little insight on my dog ownership background.
