Re: the reality of pet ownership please
Any size dog is a big responsibility... I have 2 large dogs... and for me they help anxiety... people with pets are supposed to be less stressed! Having responsibility for them keeps me going some days... there are so many things to consider with a pet... vet costs, food bill, exercising them...
A small dog would make sense, depends on what experience you have with dogs? have you had dogs before? I prefer male dogs, but thats just me... i find them easier than girls, i currently have a boy and girl... larger breeds will need more exercise, more room , bigger garden, bigger house, more food cost, larger vet bills...
Perhaps a rescue dog would be good? you could visit some rescues for a look and most of all research whatever breed you decide on...
