its been long due bro....we (as a couple) love dogs and always wanted to have one. kakapothey US la mana valla avuthunda...aa additional responsibility avasarama ani took lite...malli recent times lo peeking...I think they are some of the beautiful creatures on earth and looking to have one for us...

ok, assuming you don't have kids. After having kids it will be harder to take care of dog. I know two families gave up their dog after having kids.

Another family have to leave their dog here everytime they go to India for a long trip. And whenever you have trips it becomes a hassle to take your dog with you.

I am sure you know you have to take it to walks no matter if its cold, snowy, stormy, hot, windy etc... apartment mentioned so it will be tight space for all of you. 

dog insurance

dog liability

dog vet bills

since you asked basic questions above, I assume you havn't done research yet.

My kids and I love dogs and cats equally. Dogs are loyal and the love they give is so pure and genuine. On the other side Cats are bossy and funny and live in their own world. For a long time we debated who we love most. 

In the meanwhile kids best friend family who live in same street as us bought Golden Retriever. They keep their house clean but it smells a lot. I asked them if they had a choice, would they get it again. Their response is yes and no. Yes for it being a part of family and no for all the work involved. Its like having an additional child in family. They stopped going for walks. Mornings and evenings occupied with dog parks. They went to india and kept a housekeeper at home to look after dog which cost them close to $3000 per 4 weeks. They tried dog care centers but looks like their dog was not adjusting so they denied. So practically a lot of work. Be ready for all this.

Like @Sanjiv mentioned, I would look at a cat. Easy maintenance. Even when u go on vacation they just need food and they roam around outside. Someone needs to re-fill thier food every 2-3 days.

We found a couple of stray cats in community and feed them. We are happy and they are happy. Me and kids came to a conclusion we love Cats more.

Small houses and apartments lo most Americans prefer chihuahua for easy maintenance. But It looks like a nakka to me and barks too much.

Golden retriever - Sheds too much hair but they are lovely. Friendly dogs.

Husky - I love them personally. Cute. 

German shepherd - A little ferocious, will protect you. Less on friendly side with others.

Beagle - Dont know much but they look cute to me. And small too.

I have Toy poodle and got it from breedder..I’m doing better after getting a dog….hypoallergenic which means they don’t shed hair…very intelligent 

Negative part is you can’t travel much if we have dog…. 

[Thokkalee]
