What to know about my first dog?
Okay, so I really want to get a dog – but not ANYTIME soon. I’m talking maybe a year to a year and a half from now. I’m thinking I’d like a Pem. Welsh Corgi.(I’m open to suggestions of course) They’re cute and I (based on the research I’ve done so far) seem to like their temperament. I DO plan on actually interacting with one soon LOL. They’re not TOO big and they’re not too small. I am willing to spend the time needed to interact with it, train it, walk it, and love it (of course). However I don’t know squat about puppies and their care (I know more about cats and kittens). Can someone here point me in the right direction? Any ideas, like a website I could go to or something else more creative? There is so much information out there I feel overwhelmed.
Also, opinions on the breed would be appreciated.
I live in a large one bedroom apartment. There is ample green space in my complex to walk and play with my future dog, not to mention the dog parks nearby. I plan on putting the dog on an pet health insurance plan (like I have for my two cats) and I feed only the most high quality foods. I love animals and while I love cats the most, I feel like I’m missing out on the joy of owning a dog. I am, however, under no illusions; if I find a dog is not right for me during the course of my pre-dog ownership research, I will not get one.
