Lately there has been talk around my house that maybe it's time to add a second dog to the family. Question is.....small breed or large breed. I myself have always been a fan of the large and giant breeds but I find myself married to a man that actually wants a small breed dog. Yes, that is correct, a man that wants a small breed dog. Don't get me wrong, I like any size dog really, our current dog is a small mixed breed whom we love dearly. She is fast, agile and easy to carry around (if neccessary). She fits in the car quite nicely and doesn't eat us out of house and home. So why am I so interested in the "big guys". Irish Wolfhounds, Leonbergers, Great Danes, now there's a breed right up my alley. Is it because I've always wanted a horse and they're the closest to that I may ever get? Or the fact that I will be able to fall asleep at night feeling protected if I'm ever alone? I think it may be the fact that a dog has always represented loyalty, companionship and protection to me. There is something about a large breed that portrays that idea just a bit more seriously then a small breed (think German Shepherd and Chihuahua, do you see what I mean?). By no means am I trying to put the "little guys" down, remember, I have one. The search continues...............
