| How to choose? |
I have always been an animal person but am having a hard time picking a breed for our family. So I was wanting to get some opinions.
I am in love with the Akita, think they are absolutely beautiful. I even tried rescuing one. Though she had not been socialized. She was over 2years old and with my location I did not have a trainer that could help me socialize her safely. Being my only experience I'm worried an Akita is not a good dog for a family with children and cats, etc.
Sooo I was hoping I could get opinions from others about what is a good family dog. I like large/medium sized dogs. I am hoping to find a dog that is not strongly prey driven, does really well with children, can go camping with me, does good off the leash(wouldn't wander away).
I have found a single dog so far that may fit this but they are very uncommon in the US.
I really appreciate any feedback or suggestions!
