My lady and I just bought a house. WOOHOO! We bought a house for a number of reasons. One of them is that we want a dog and we couldn't have one previously in apartment. However, we do have three cats.
I work nights for the time being and she works during the day. She is nervous about being in the house alone. She sleeps with a shotgun and a hand gun next to the bed for God's sake! How could she be scared?
Anyways, she wants a German Shepherd. I want a Siberian Husky. I don't have a problem with a GSD, just as long as whatever breed we get, I feel it should be a puppy. My thinking is that this will allow us to have the dog "grow up" around cats and be comfortable with them. Whereas, a full grown dog, even if it has been around cats, may not like ours. Also, I don't want to stress our cats with a big dog right away.
What do you guys think? We are getting one, just not sure of the details yet. Maybe this weekend. Any suggestions? Where to get either breed, etc.
