nofish4me Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Judging by what you have let out of the bag, a hamster might be what you need. Checked youtube and here's a couple good videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2iQUomByi8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6uesdkcgiY...laynext_from=PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musky66 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 We've had ours for 2 years and everything everyone has said is the truth- good and bad. Wouldn't trade her for the world- she has been a great companion for my wife the last year during her illness. Yes she chews (loves socks!) and digs, maybe its just us but she always makes us laugh- and I think that is what is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefish Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Dont know if any one mentioned it but they STINK! Took one out a few years ago hunting for wabbits and brought him back in the car and I wish I didnt! So if your sensitive to raunchy odours then get a dog with hair and not fur....Just my opinion.

cram Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 If your dog isn't allowed in your backyard you shouldn't get a dog....maybe a cat?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler16 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 If your dog isn't allowed in your backyard you shouldn't get a dog....maybe a cat?? Had one before and it was never aloud in the backyard. Had him for 14 years. Been around since i was born. Not once did he pee in the backyard in the new house. And he was just fine. So i dont think a hamster,gold fish or cat are good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Lew said, unless you're willing to take it out for 4-5 walks a day - EVERY day - its a tough life for a dog. YOu might look at breeds which want very little exercise and really go outside just to urinate/crap and smell different smells. btw - you might consider a male dog......their pee is generally less acidic and won't kill grass the same way. Usually when you see dead spots on the lawn, its from a female dog (pee is more acidic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookslav Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 mmm...enlightening post I was thinking about getting a Beagle someday, but Was tossed between a Coon hound, or a beagle. I was under the impression as far as hunting dogs go the Beagle was a good "house pet" as well as a hunting pal, were the Black and tans are obviouslt both but... They also cost a bloody fortune LOL! After hearing these testimonials I'm leaning towards spending the cash on a good 'ol Coon hound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have a Beagle/Colie, his mom was a beagle and his dad was a rough colie. He is an amazing dog. I live on a busy street corner with no real defined fence but he stays in the yard and I NEVER tie him. He listens 98% of the time and is one of the smarter dogs that I have met. He does love to run so I take him to the dog park or the beach or ball park and let him run. He is eager to please and I couldn't ask for a better dog.
