Large Dog Breeds - Are You Ready For The Responsibility?

By Lee Dobbins

Congratulations on selecting that large dog that you have. We must say, large dog breeds are one of our favorites. They offer so much comfort, joy and of course, play time. If you have not gotten a dog yet, then you should really consider the responsibility it is going to put on you. Yes, they are very loving dogs, but are you ready to take a life in your hand and give it the love and attention they deserve? Are you ready to pay for vet bills and buy lots of dog food? Are you ready to take your pet out for walks? The dog is not something you can lock in a room and only play with when you feel like it. Sadly, many individuals have started to do this and that is considered animal abuse, but we will not get into that one right now.

Our favorite breed of dog is the Pit Bull and they always have been, even as a child. In fact, our pit bull was a real life saver, but we are not going to get into that right now.

Sure, there is a lot of controversy revolving around this dog, but that comes from those that do not know much about them. We are not going to get into that right now.

Look up Stubby, who was a pit bull and served in the Military. He was the first dog to get a rank in the Military and served during WWII. You should also look up Popsicle.

Another great dog is the German shepherd. We have had a retired police dog who was a German shepherd as a child and must say that she was a lovely dog.

You will find a lot of love in the large dog breeds, but you need to make sure you are ready to take on the responsibility. So many times, we see these pets end up in the pound only because the owner took in more than they could handle.
