Dog Health Questions: What kind of dog should we adopt?

Me and my fiance are adopting two dogs from the pound this summer. They have to be young because the dog training college we are going to requires that you being your own dog. I already have my heart set on a rottweiler and our local pound always has plenty so that's what I'll be adopting. My fiance didn't really care what breed he got because he loves all dogs he just wanted a bigger breed. Then he started looking and went nuts over treeing walker coon hounds and bloodhounds...But we have an 11 year old siberian husky and he has this soft spot for huskies (pet finder.com always has plenty huskies too) So we can't decide. I mean all breeds would be great but which would you get...the siberian, the treeing walker, or the bloodhound.
Personally I love to get two siberians but I know I'd regret it if I didn't get a rottweiler.

The Benefits Of Positive Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
First thing, puppies and young dogs have the greatest chance of being adopted from the pound. Older dogs have the best chance of being killed. All breeds don't really begin to mellow until they are about 5 years old. On the other hand, any 11 year old dog may find it difficult to adjust to a new one. I've found that older dogs will nurture a puppy, but may oppose an adult. I love Rottweilers and had a super-super Rotty-Great Dane mix. However, an adult Rottweiler may not adjust well to another adult male dog. I recommend bringing a friend's adult dog to your home to find out how your Husky responds. Once you have adopted a dog -- old or young -- it's painful to have to take them back if things don't work out. Good luck.

Free Dog Training Tips

• A Rottweiler may not be the best idea. They are not great with other dogs,but the pound will likely check the dogs temperament. If you live where it is very cold,a husky or other heavily furred dog is a good idea. If not,a husky and bloodhound are equally good dogs. Bloodhounds are very active dogs,but do love to follow scents.Another husky may be easier for your husky to accept. Also,keep in mind the breed you want may not be at the pound.
