Ok, so who owns or has previously owned a dog? What kind are they, provide a pic if you could, how are their temperaments, stuff like that. I'm trying to get a dog, but not exactly sure which one. Thanks.

Definitely the wrong place to be asking for dog advice, do your own research, for your sake and your future dog's sake.

I want to get a Husky, I'm kinda nervous though. I'm living in a reasonably sized apartment next year and we are allowed to have pets. I would be home alot and I enjoy running, so the exercise wouldn't be a problem.

I'm mostly worried about money. I've heard a rough estimate is about $2000 for your first year including price of the dog, food, toys, supplies and vet bills. After that it is about $800-$1000 a year. That's quite a bit of money. I need to think on it.

Thats really solid advice, i have two dogs, the second one we kinda adopted and he costs sooo much, monday we go to vets come out -$450 dollars. We spend more money on our pets than the starving diseased or homeless. (let me know if im wrong)

Also get a smart dog, when i go over to friends places and they have dumb pets i always think why the hell would you want that. Get a smart dog like a Lab(thats an ingenious name like its like a science dog), or german shepard (smart enough to use as anti-tank dogs... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog), don't get some dumb mut that you can't train. Don't buy shy pets either their no fun.

I absolutely loved (and miss QQ) my golden retriever Teddy. They're super fun and loyal dogs and are relatively low maintenance. I've also had poodles and bichon frisés in my home for extended periods of time and they were great too.

Honestly though, no matter what kind of dog if you raise it properly and take care of it; chances are it will be loyal, caring, helpful, fun, etc, etc.

i dont have a picture on the computer of my dog. but poodles are the best. my dogs like 10 years old but hes mentally insane, definitely acts like a puppy. and he loves snow. plus poodles don't shed, but he smells really gnarly sometimes, not the normal dog smell..

australian shepherd: we had an australian shepherd. he was soooo tight. he was very active up until he was about 5, but after that he calmed down and was a great dog. very smart and fun to play with. will need a lot of exercising though.

I'd also reccomend researching labs, doberman pinschers, pit bulls, greyhounds, german shepherds (!), and greyhounds. dobermans and pit bulls might be generally feared, but they are GREAT dogs.

Whatever you do do not get a Husky. You have to be really, really prepared for them since they LOVE to run. But don't get me wrong, they are my favorite breed. I think the best dog to have is a mutt. They will always love you.

haha yeah man, darkest one of the bunch...thats why we picked him. perfect size too you can wrestle with him and use him as a pillow but still let him sleep in your bed and get him in cars and stuff. hes 11 years old now and just starting to go gray in the face, still super playful.

My friend has a coton de tulear its more of a cat than a dog. I don't really like it as a dog, his hates walks, water, and is picky about food, ect. what kind of dog does that?   also it barks like shit when people are on the property.

Yeah I have studied so much on Huskies before and my mom had one, they are so cute and they need lots of exercise, also, they DO cost a lot, get it microchipped, and I don't know if an apartment is big enough. You better have a park to go to every day for a few hours.

it's an australian shepherd.  they're herders so they do bark but they are mad smart and really agile.  ours was male and rowdy the first six months, then he really chilled out and never bit, but if you tried to get near his food he would rush you and try to tackle you before you got near it.  i loved that dog.

Ya I don't think exercise will be a problem, just the money. I live on like the 2nd biggest campus in the country and it has ton of woods and grassy fields and stuff and I plan on running with it all the time.

I'm mostly just worried about the money as well as what to do with him during the summer I don't know if my parents will let me take him home.
