What kind of dog??

Q. I have 2 little sisters and 1 older brother. My littlest sis is allergic to them, so it has to stay outside most of the time. what breed do u reccomend?
My family is always outside, though, and my dad wants one really bad. We have a mini barn for lawn tools, and we are gonna clear it out and insolate it. We will let him in in the winter, her allergies go down then. plz dont say no dog- i am working on my mom
we are all very hyper and would play outside at least 3 hours with it


Answer
Evaluate your lifestyle before committing to a dog. Are you active? Do yuo have time to exercise a dog (they need a minimum of 60 mins a day, and i dont mean running around in a yard!) Can you afford a dog?

Costs:
Dog - $400 on up for a well bred and healthy dog

supplies - $300 to $400 for first go around for crate, collar leash, ID, bowls, food, toys

monthly dog food/toy bills about $50 depending on size of dog

Vet bills - first vet check including shots, flea/tick/heart worm meds, lab feed, etc about $200 depending on vet

Annual grooming vet bills of $400 or more depending on dog

And that's the bare minimum. Im sorry but if you have a family member that is allergic and can't take allergy medications, don't get a dog. Some do fine outside but most outside dogs develop socialization issues. You can't bring them in and out with the seasons and expect them to be fine. At least not all of them.

Play with them and walk them daily.

Consider poodles (hypoalergenic) or similar breeds if you must have one.

what size crate for golden retriever?




j.w.


I'm about to buy a soft crate for my dogs agility classes. I was wondering what size is good. She isn't a huge golden, she weighs about 60 lbs. There are 2 sizes:
36 inches L x 24 inches W x 27 inches H
42 inches L x 28 inches W x 31 inches H
I will be moving this around a lot so I would go for the smaller one but I want her to be comfy. Thanks!
