Re: I'd like to try having a big dog

I can borrow you my dog for 2 weeks, u will certainly change your mind (:
What do i thing about?
I had a little dog (10kg, Shih-tzu, male) before, now i have a Beauceron X (30kg, female). I love her with all my hearth, i choosed her to make big hikings.
Tecnically : a small dog don't mean isn't a good hiker (take for exemple jack russels), food and items are cheaper, Public transports are free for them, they don't scare peoples :)
Big dogs : they scare peoples, you need to educate him very well (if the dog pull on leash is a problem that you don't have with small dogs), follow school, the pay at public transport (half-price ticket), but they are more powerfull, you can think in doing canicross / canibike that is amazing :)
If it's your first dog, i really sugget you to take a medium / small one.
After you have to see why you want a big dog
That's my opinion. Hope it will help a little bit
