What dog breed should i choose for my first time?
about me-
I should start off by saying that i am 15 years old
I adore dogs
I have had training experience with my grand parents dogs
i don’t mind walking and grooming daily
i live in a fairly large apartment in new york city
i travel quite often to places of different climates 
i don’t have allergies to animals
i am not a morning person
i don’t like small dogs with big egos, especially stupid ones. my grand
parents had a Yorkshire terrier, and it was probably the stupidest dog
i’ve ever seen. she kept jumping on my german shepherd and got her eye ripped out, and then she kept doing it after surgery and almost got it ripped out again until i stopped the fight and let them out seperatley, or under my supervision.
this is gonna sound selfish, but i want a puppy, im pretty sure i can handle him
Sounds like you’re the kind of person who would be good with a number of breeds, though NYC might limit getting a dog that needs a huge yard and lots of exercise. I think we need to narrow it down further based on what you’re looking in for a dog.
Do you want a large one or a smaller one? What sort of personality? (There will be other things that determine this besides breed, but it can make a difference.) Do you mind vacuuming up fur all the time? (I love Labs, but they never quit shedding) What are your feelings on drool?
My biggest piece of advice would be to do your research and go to see the types of breeds you’re considering in person if you can. Know what you’re getting into. And if you choose to buy from a breeder, make sure they’re a good one.
