Lady Dog
Thinking about getting my lady a dog. She never had one as a child but really wants one. What's a good breed?
She is a girlie girl that lives in a roomy one bedroom apartment. She will be there for at least the next two years. After that she plans to buy a house.
Rayven............yeah, she can have pets. It's a big decision and something that I will really sit down and think about.
Dogs make horrible gifts, it's like giving someone a baby. This is a 15 year committment that you are pretty much tying her to. You need to find out what type of dog SHE wants, it's no good us saying oh Dalmatians are great, Great Dane's only to find out she wants a lap dog, or buying a lap dog only to find out she wants a jogging companion or getting her a high energy breed when she is lazy and hates to exercise. These are all things that need to be taken into consideration BEFORE you ever commit to a puppy or dog.
Even though you say her complex allows pets how much of a deposit will she need to give to keep a dog? How long will the dog/puppy be left alone all day? Does the complex have a breed restriction, do they have a weight restriction. These are all things you need to consider before going out and getting a rottweiler only to find out the complex only permits dogs up to 25lbs and does not permit Rottweilers.
If she wants a dog then purchase dog items (food bowl, collar, leash, dog bed, housebreaking books, training books, etc.,) and give her a gift certificate for a dog / puppy of her choosing and if she says ok let's look then be prepared to buy her one.
Until that time DOGS DO NOT MAKE GOOD GIFTS as they are very difficult to return.
ETA: I also agree with Caroline, if you've never owned a dog before they can be extremely frustrating and difficult especially when you haven't the first clue how to train. Get her books to read up. Also dogs are a financial drain, if she's saving for a house, it's best to let her attain that goal before spending all her savings on the upkeep of a dog.
