choose wisely,do you have room for a dog to run and play safely ?
Generally the bigger the dog the shorter the life span.
And Mutts are usually smarter than AKC dogs, But ther are no bad dogs ,only bad owners,
So please let us know if you get one, you will love the experience,have you had one before ?
I have always had a dog in our family but I had never chosen the dog,
as a kid my Mum picked the dog,as a husband my wife picked the dog,
the one I have now I picked out on my own,and she is the best little pal I have ever had. Good luck.
