A New dog    So, I have a pet Shih Tzu and she just gave birth a few months ago. She's a very loving and loveable. I love small dogs but I have been thinking a lot that maybe I should get a bigger dog because my mom wants something that can protect us and guard our house. I know that is kind of lame but I am also thinking of getting a big dog because I think it is the perfect time to get a bigger dog like a Rottweiler or something. Do you have any suggestions? Can you recommend a dog that can play around with my pet Shih Tzu without harming her? Do you know any breed which is perfect for a big dog beginner like me? My mom suggested that we get a dog from the rescue so that we are able to help the doggies there.

I think that a Rottweiler is the perfect choice if you are still new to the big-dog thing. I have two big Rottweiler and they are perfect for me and my family. They are very loving to my children and they love playing around with them. They always play fetch whenever we go to the park and the kids adore them. They are like a big brother to my kids. They are also very protective of me and my family. They tend to bark a lot when people they don't know come near me or my kids. I think that Rottweiler is perfect for you. I had them since they were little and they are very easy to train. All in all, I think that they are a wonderful breed.

How about a Maltese? My sister has a family of them and she absolutely adores them. They are very wonderful dogs. She has Cooper and Royce and they are both on the bigger side. They can play around with my Siberian husky, Rocky, though when I bring Rocky to their house. She also has a smaller dog named Fifi and she is very tiny! She is very adorable and all the kids in the neighborhood loves her. I think Maltese is a wonderful dog breed. Another thing that my sister likes about them is that they are hypoallergenic. I mean like they do not shed as much fur like other dog breeds do because they have hair. However, you said that you are looking for a bigger dog like a Rottweiler, right? I think they are also a very nice breed. How about a Golden Retriever?

I really want to get a new dog! Yes, I'm leaning towards a Rottweiler. I have a neighbor who lives next door and their Rottweiler is very nice and loving. It even plays around with my little kids and my pet Shih Tzu. I think they are really a very nice breed. I am thinking of getting two dogs, a male and a female so that I can build them a little family. Should I get one from the shelter if they have any? Or maybe I should buy them in pairs. Golden Retrievers are also beautiful. I really like their color but I am not really sure if they are as loving and as caring as a Rottweiler is. How about a Bichon? Do you have any suggestions about a Bichon? I know they are not as big, but I think that they are a great breed as well.
