wait, i should change the title, im finally getting a puppy... yea thats better.


finally got a solid paying job, decent hours, SO works from home, so she would be here the whole time.

trying to figure out the right breed, and where to get him/her from.

trying to decide between a lab or a German Shepherd or a Belgian Malinois.

i have had all labs my whole life, but my grandad had a GS and i loved that dog.

i know GS shed a lot thats why im also looking at BM, anyone have experience with BM? how are their temperaments?

wont be getting him/her for a few months. maybe an Xmas present

also i have been looking at chocolate labs, where should i look for getting one?

My vote would be Lab, but thats because I have one.

Honestly, whatever you end up going with you will be happy, they are all great breeds of dogs. Goodluck!

For a pet/inside dog?

A lab will rip your house apart. No experience with the other two.

It's own fault for not having a collar.

Sonofabitch should have had a collar!

sweetest dogs ever...seriously...they are great with kids and just love being loved...that is literally all they want..is to be loved and petted...my male follows my wife all over our house...he will lay by the tub while she bathes

they are very protective too...if you have kids they will literally die for your children and be extremely patient with them...my 3 year old rides mine and pulls their jowls and they just lay there..

boxers are awesome...they just look mean...

i know they are good dogs, but its just not worth me trying to change her mind... she is set in her ways,

no boxers
no dalmations
no full size poodles - which are awesome dogs BTW
and no small dogs
no yappy dogs

Lots of energy, very hyper. be prepared to go on lots of runs/walks to get the energy out or they will get destructive

lab then...they are pretty awesome too...and have many of the same qualities as boxers i.e. loyalty and such....

if you do get a lab though...do the training school thing early and beat the shite out of it the first time it ever chews anything...no matter how small it is..my buddy who lived in Georgia and now moved back to LA has one....he and his wife bout got divorced over that dog....he had an affinity for chewing decorative stuff in the house...that's no bueno for mama....

Please for the love of God do not do this. Simply teach the pup what NO-NO means at an early age.

Go to a shelter and save the life of some poor dog who would love to have a good home.
