[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 499394, member: 11791"] The good shelter (several hours away, where we got our dogs) told us that this is the single most common reason for dog adoptions to go sour. We weren't prepared to have a "little" dog around... our first was mid-sized, I grew up with mid-sized... so we stuck with mid-sized. Energy... well, that's why we wanted the dog(s)... to burn steam off for the "other pups" (the kids). The other reason dogs get turned back? People really don't know what they are getting into in terms of the time and effort it takes to bond, to settle in, to establish routine. You won't really know where things are at, for at least 6 months. All our dogs have been working dogs. We're used to it. But if I become a little old lady living on my own, I'll have to consider getting a smaller dog, because there's no way I can keep up with dogs like these, by myself! [/QUOTE]
