Growing up I never had a dog, my parents (especially my dad) was absolutely not a fan of animals inside the house. Which is why we had two cats that were outside 24/7. (one still alive after 14 years)
However golden retrievers melt my fucking heart. Once I buy a house with a proper garden (at least 6 years away) I'm getting one of those good boys. The only downside is that these dogs have a lot of health issues, however, after googling a lot I learned that you only buy a puppy if both parents are there and healthy. Chances for cancer/genetic diseases are a lot smaller if both "parent dogs" are alive and kicking.
Other races I really like (but require too much maintenance / are not suitable for living in Belgium) are:
- Huskies
- Shiba Inu
So, anyone else on TMS ever want a dog?
