  1. My first dog was a mutt, cocker spaniel mix. She was a rescue, and we think she was about 2 or 3 when we brought her home. She was such a lovely dog, loved kids, acted like a momma dog to a puppy we got about 10 years later. She lived for a very long time, we had her for about 20 years, so we think she was some where around 22 give or take when she passed away, she even died peacefully in our home, just stood up, looked confused for a minute, took two steps and fell over.

    Our second puppy (bischon poo mix) was raised by her for 8 years and was visibly greiving after his best friend died.

    We miss you Zoe! You live in my family's hearts forever and we will see you again someday. She was one of the best friends I had as a kid and all the way through my 3rd year of college. She walked my sister and I to both of our first days of school, and wagged her tail at the door when we came home from college to visit.

    Keep your heart open to rescue dogs. They are wonderful companions. Sorry for the long comment here, and thank you if you read this far. Shes been been gone fir almost 10 years now and I still miss her

  2. My mother and grandmother don’t like eachother at all and one Christmas my grandmother surprised my brother sister and I with a puppy, at that moment the world went still, then I noticed how angry my mother was but I was too happy to even care

  3. As a Berner myself, I would say we are not for beginners. We require exercise, space and some of us (myself included) are really aloof and not fond of strangers and other dogs. I am not even talking about shedding. We (myself included again) may also be very dominant and have a strong guarding instinct, being no second to Rottweilers, GSDs and others like them.

  4. I don't think there a. Breed for beginner. You. Need. A least. Some experience. Because. They are life. Creature. And. They are not toys. And have feeling. And. Emotions. Sooo. Every dog. Can. Be challenging. And no. Breed is. For. Beginner. If you want a dog. You need. A. Good budget. And a lifestyle. And. Unexpect. Vet visit. Some some YESS. They can be. Sick or. Not but. They are. A live so. Ya. .

  5. If you need emotional support, I would not recommend a Bernese Mountain Dog. Their life span is only 6 to 8 years and are cancer prone. Especially since they are sweet and gorgeous, this choice has heartbreak all over it.

  6. Shih tzus are great dogs. I grew up with them and my family (parents, grandma, aunt, and I) have had a combined total of 19 in the past 50 years. They really are wonderful, sweet dogs. They need humans who are willing and able to enforce boundaries – they can be stubborn. They’re great for homes with less space, and though they like walks they’re also happy to just loll on the couch all day.

    Grooming is crucial and whether you grow their hair out or get them shaved, there’s still a time and financial commitment, especially if you keep their hair long. My current shih tzu has a full coat and I do spot-combings a couple times a week when I notice tangles developing, with a full 90-minute – 2 hour comb once a week. It’s also extremely important to maintain their topknots if you keep their hair long; they can be prone to eye ulcers if their hair is allowed to get in their eyes.

    Also, be prepared to shell out a lot of money on dental cleaning, though it varies. We had one shih tzu who was a hard chewer and only needed his teeth cleaned once in his entire life, but we had another one who preferred plush toys rather than hard chew toys and he needed annual teeth cleanings to the tune of $600 a year.

    Finally, if you’re looking for a shih tzu make sure you go to a responsible breeder. Standard, healthy shih tzu weight ranges from 9-16 pounds. “Teacup” and “Imperial” designer tiny shih tzus should absolutely not be a thing and can result in serious health issues (if you don’t believe me, ask a vet). Ask the breeder how much the adult dogs weigh and move on if the dogs are below standard. Finding responsible breeders takes some patience, but these beautiful, sweet, playful companions are absolutely worth your dedication!

  7. My recommendation: Jagterrier, small weighting only at 10kg it's energetic, healthy, and best all around dog. Just keep in mind, they have strong sence for prey, thus other pets are out of question (mine terrier is always jealus of other pets)

  8. boxers are a terrible first dog! they have so many health issues 😢 pugs flat faces give them horrible breathing problems so I definitely wouldn’t recommend a pug to a first time dog owner. and large breed dogs have shorter lifespans like the dane. golden retrievers and labs have a tendency to be overweight and need to have their diet watched and make sure they get adequate exercise. I used to work in a vet office and saw this stuff all the time – please do your own research if you’re looking into a specific breed, this video is extremely irresponsible and leaves out vital information on these breeds!!

  9. I hate the media clips you insert in your videos. It's distracting and disgusting, like playing ads for soda and booze in a bathroom stall when I've got diarrhea. Either stay on topic or stay off the internet, at least the serious parts. Don't pretend to be an expert or source of quality information then play a clip of Dumbo being mocked for having big ears when describing the Papillon, you childish twits.
