I am hoping to get a dog next year but I'm not sure what breed to get. Any suggestions? I want a male dog, what should I call him? (I love unusual names!)

I just bought a siberian husky a couple of weeks ago and she's so awesome.

Get a boxer and call him Enry

you should get a german shepard, they very devoted,a nd nvr run away because of thier hearding instincts. they are great protection and they are VERY smart. you should name him micky, and call em mick for short.

A Jack Russell, call him Bodie!

It depends. If you are living in a small apartment, then i suggest that you dont get an Irish Wolfhound!! lol! I love have a small cockapoo named Sophie who is sooo sweet! She has such a sweet personality! But that's a personal choice!!! Here is a website you can browse around, it gives you descriptions about different breeds!!http://www.i-love-dogs.com/dog-breeds/Here's another suggestion, visit the dog and make sure it is friendly and healthy before buying!!!! For names, it can depend on the personality of the dog, or what you like. If you have a favorite movie than you can name it after a character. For example, Lord of the Rings, Frodo, or Pippin!! Here is another website you might find useful!http://petrix.com/dognames/Good luck on finding your perfect furry companion!!

If I did not care that there were so many dogs for adoption at the pound, I would buy a Rhodesian Ridgeback, but I would probably go to the SPCA and adopt a stray puppy. This is what I did 16 years ago with Gus. Not such an unusual name but it fits him.

If this is more than just, "What's your opinion"? I have to say you need to answer a few questions before choosing a dog.1. How big a home do you have?2. Any kids, and how old?3. How much time do you have to spend with the dog to train it?4. Any other pets in the home?These are just basic questions. Then reseach the temperament of the dogs you are interested in. The SPCA or a shelter is a great place to find a dog that NEEDS you!Choose wisely, and Good luck.

A Schnauzer called Ice!

I have a Havanese male and he is awesome! They have wonderful personalities, are very playful but will be mellow when you don't want to play (unlike alot of small dogs that are obnoxiously hyper all the time). They are small dogs (7-13lbs) but they are the sturdiest of the toy breeds which makes them good companions for children also. My boy has never once been the slightest bit aggressive, they are very loving. Also, my boy doesn't have peeing issues, he actually goes in a litter box and doesn't lift his leg.The down side to them is that they need alot of grooming. You have to brush their hair at leat 3x per week, bath at least once every 2 weeks (this is easy with them cuz they fit in the kitchen sink, pretty quick & easy) and they need hair cuts about every 3 months (depending on your prefrence, I keep my boy's hair shorter). The grooming is the only down side to these dogs everything else about them is totally positive. My boy's name is Rocco and I wouldn't trade him for anything. I suggest you check out Havanese and see what you think for yourself.

It depends on your situation. How much time do you have to spend with it, on training etc. Do you go to work? And how long will it be left on its own?How much big is your house?Do you want a big dog or a small breed?Go to rescue centres and look around.Get advice from people with dogs who you know, talk to people in the street who are walking their dog and get advice.Go and get books from the library and start reading up.

You should get a White West Highland Terrier because they are so great. I have got one and they are very easy to train and obdient. You should name him Harley.

Hey you should get a Golden Labrador if you can get a biggish dog. I have one myself and he is so playful and cute ^^. They are very smart dogs too and are really your best friend. I personally think you should call him Benson. But if you like unusual names go for something like Ryu or ookami, ookami means wolf.

sorry, but if you have to ask others than you are not ready to get a dog. It is a living breathing animal no different than a human being. If you do not have time to research the correct breed for yourself without asking opinions of others while failing to explain in detail the way you live than there is never going to be the remotest way of proving an answer. Take the time to see how you live, where you live, the amount of time you can give this dog (in honesty). What is your lifestyle. All these and other things need to be factored before you start seeking a dog by breed. Then using this criteria, read up on each breed til you find one that is compatible. Others opinions mean nothing. This is the primary reason so many dogs end up in shelters and rescues, because people do not take the time to find out what they are really getting in a dog til they get one. You are not buying a car, someone else's opinion is therefore irrelevant.
