But it is often the case with various breeds, people have a pup and ignore what the needs of the dog will be, his specificities, etc.. I got a big dog, looks like a labrador but much taller, ( husky X labrador) , he is full of energy , but very friendly to all people and animals, he loses his hair very much as well, and he needs exercising regularly. Everything is fine with us because I WANTED that sort of dog, one that woulmd force me to go and exercise when I would have been a bit lazy, but I often think he would have been in danger of being abandonned with a family that wouldn't have known about what a big dog he would become. ( about 40 kilos) Anyway, he says I'm lying and would be very happy to meet yur gal   Happy    Report
