Looking to buy a good, faithful dog. What is YOUR reccomendation? :)

I recommend you find a dog rescue group and rescue a dog. The dogs are living in people's homes so the foster parent can tell you what the dog is like and there is nothing so grateful as a dog who knows they are going to be loved and cared for by someone. If you think you'd like a certain breed, there are many rescue groups that go for certain breeds, or sizes of dogs. If you REALLY want to save a life, take in a greyhound, they are excellent house dogs, because they have always been kept in small kennels, they have excellent manners. When a greyhound can nolong race, they are frequently just "distroyed." There are groups that rescue these beautiful animals. My only problem is that I don't care for large dogs and these have to be walked, you put them in a back yard & they lay down & wait to be walked....

my favourite and the one i grew up with was a cavalier king charles spaniel, lovely temperement and very faithfull, also very funny.

Are you sure you would have time for a dog? Most college students are, well.. somewhat busy. Having a dog would require you to spend your spare hours with your dog rather than with your friends partying or whatever you usually do after school. I'm not sure where you live, but there are probably very few college campus that allow dogs. Many apartments also don't accept dogs or don't accept certain breeds of dogs. In either case, I think you need to look further into what you can offer a dog to be able to find a good breed for you, how much time, exercise, mental stimulation, if you want a protective dog or an outgoing one. Or you can go to the shelter and look for an adult dog.

I have a Border Collie, she is so lovable. Midsize dog around 45-60 pounds. Loves to exercise, actually they need to have excersise or they get a little wound up not being able to get out and run. I like her size, not a lap dog but not too big either. They like to be around people, and are very friendly dogs to children. I have had other breeds of dogs prior to my border collie but she has been the most faithful, obedient, and lovable dog I have had so far. Good luck in choosing.

When we got our dog we went to the pound to get her. we walked in there not knowing what breed we wanted or if we wanted male or female. What we wnet by was our feelings. How did the dog react to us? Which one would be a good family dog? Their ae so many things to concider whan you get a dog. we ended up geting a Female Border Collie who we love very much. She ia a wonderful dog and I wouldn't trade her in for the world. I have also had a Yellow Lad and he was an awesome friend to all of us.

I would suggest getting a wolf-dog hybrid. Those are actually the closest breed to a wolf. They are also one of the most loyal animals out there as well as protective.

Might be hard to find but I love Siberian Huskies. Its the closest breed to the wolf. As a kid I had a Husky/Shepherd mix and she was a great dog. Try to get it as a pup (although might me more expensive) but that way it grows up with you and will trained to you.

In my opinion, the most three most faithful dogs (I have a lot of personal experiences and I have done a lot of research) are: 1.German Shepherd - Very smart and loyal. Active and obedient. Protective. 2.Irish Setter - Exceptional temperament. Extremely active and very friendly. Very eager for attention. Not recommended if you have birds (they are typically bred to hunt for birds). Very jealous dogs though their jealousy will not lead to hostility. 3.Golden Retriever - Very, very, very loyal and protective. CAUTION, they are consistently on top of the list for recorded dog bites statistically. This however may be inflated by the number of bites that were provoke, or were because the dog was being protective of it's owner. This should not stop you from getting one though because like ANY breed of dog (including Pittbulls, Dobermans, Rotts, Akitas, etc.), if raised a correctly it will behave. Also, make sure you research the source, many dogs are imported illegally, come from places that mistreat them, or they may have a bad bloodline. Pitbulls for example are not bad dogs. They are often hostile by nature because they're from a bloodline that was bred for fighting. Know your dogs history. Ask questions about diseases such as Parvo. My most recent dog is 50% Mastiff, 25% Pitbull, and 25% German Shepherd. Naturally this would be a big dog. It got parvo when it was just a few weeks old. Statistically, less than 5% of dogs that get this live normally the rest of their lives, in fact, most of them don't live at all. My dear "Belle" has only 10% of her intestines. Her growth was also stunted severely. It is unknown what her life expectancy is. Educate yourself. Also, mutts, or mixed breeds, often have a better temperment! Don't be afraid to spend less money and get a better dog! Good luck!!
