My pet Golden Retriever just died today, and I've been pondering as to what kind of puppy I should buy now in a month or so.

You guys have any recommendations?

A retriever eh? Sorry to hear the dog died... Personally I like black labs and think they make a grreat friendly pet. I had a black lab cross at my parents and she was the friendliest dog I had ever seen. She was a bit smaller then a pure bred black lab but yeah...Good luck when you do get that puppy.

I really want one, but my mom says no because we already have two dogs in side and a kitty. :(

I'll buy one when I move out of Ohio. :D There we go!

Huskies are great dogs, but they take a lot of attention and are very hard to train. We had two of them. However, one died of epilepsy and the other was ran over by a car.

Get a Jack Russell or a pug... They're awesome...

And get them from the pound or an animal rescue organization.

Sorry you lost your dog. We only get them for a little while. Im an older guy and have had lots of dogs. The pound puppies are the best. Mixed breed dogs have fewer health problems, less finicky digestive systems and tend to not be high strung. The few pure breds Ive owned have been the highest maintenance, shortest lived dogs.

Good luck. Whatever you decide.

Whatever you do, don't get a Beagle. They're adorable but that bark is so annoying.

I guess I'd either get a German Shepard(my dog is a German Shepard/hound mix so I'm kinda biased towards them) or a Rottweiler. My sister has a Rottweiler and it's probably the scariest dog I've ever seen in person but he's really friendly. Anyway, those two are what I'd get but it really depends on the dogs behavior. Obviously you wouldn't want an unfriendly Ruttweiler.

BTW I tend to lean towards bigger dogs because they're less annoying and don't tend to be desperate for attention 24/7.

A lab will be your best friend, they are great. Though, they are pretty high maintence, but since you can handle a Golden, go with a lab.

So your dog just died, and you're already thinking about getting anew one?

German Shepherd or Australian Shepherd.

I'd say go rescue a pup from your local animal shelter :D

I think you should get a pug. Just look at that face.
