| Well, see, I'm buying a dog sometime in the next few months. I'm having trouble with what type of dog I should buy...I'm having trouble deciding if I should get a golden retriever, or Maltese right now. But of course, you can suggest something else. I might put in the link of the puppies/dogs that I'm having trouble deciding with later. Help me decide which type of dog to get! c: I'm sorry if you're allergic to dogs or something. | |

| Either one. I've never had a Maltese but I bet they're great companions. I've only had a German Shepherd, Pug, and a Golden Retriever/Yellow Labrador mix. My Retriever/Lab is amazing, I love him so much c: (But he's really old so we're not going to have him much longer if you know what I mean ): He's really sweet and protective of me and my family. He's never bitten anyone before either. | |

| I suggest a large dog, since they have better temperaments than those little yappy terrier dogs. They also tend to have less health issues. My personal favourite breed is the Great Pyrenees. | |

| Pomeranians are THE CUTEST THINGS EVER. Even when they get old they are still fluffy. Usually they are good tempered and really cute o3o |

| Siberian Huskies are the best dogs no question about it I have two of them and they're really perfect okay
Anyways, out of the two you said I'd probably go with a Golden Retriever. (im just biased towards big dogs though so) | |

However, that dog isn't for the feint of heart and they don't normally do well in packs or work well with other dogs. It's a big responsibility with them, however, you're rewarded with loyalty, protection, and a great friend who will return the affection you show him. Resources: Personal experience with my 5 Akitas :3 Anyway if you wanna have a golden retrieved I've been told they're a great dog to have. Never heard of a Maltese though >3< | |

| I have a suggestion get a border collie one of the smartest dogs in the world! I suggest getting it because they are easy to train, pretty well behaved but one thing they want a job so you should teach them how to get your favorite thing from your room because they will need a job or they will start tearing up you favorite socks. If you don't like all the hair I suggest getting a mixed dog like a border collie/hound that will make them a short-hair also they will smell super good. ((that what I have)) Border collies commonly look like - border collie:
- border collie hound:

The border collie looks like my dog. Not if you live in a small house. They need a LOT of space and preferably some sheep. | |

Its not like sure going to walk home from school with her dig and some creepy guy attacks her and the dog beats him up. Big digs are cool but are kinda intimidating. Their bites are usually harder but the don't live as long as a small dog. I think it was 10 years for big dog, and 15 for small. Small dogs for the win. |

Small dogs for the win. Actually, small dogs often don't live as long as large dogs because they get stepped on a lot, fall down the stairs and even get eaten by coyotes. They're also more prone to heat stroke and liver disease. They're also not as friendly. Small dogs are very territorial and kind of aggressive. And they bark. A lot. Not that I don't like them, I just prefer larger dogs. | |

Hahah I'm veeery aware of the coyote eating small dog thing and the territorial habits of small dogs. I have experienced it myself. Once my aunts terrifying agreeesive York terrier puppy chased me and bit me. It was scary since I was 4. And my other aunt has this pappion that hates me sp much, it barks at me whenever I walk into my own house or stuff. Never dies that with anyone else. I guess it's because I'm always trying to look at it in the eye. |

| @Ron Agreed. Ahaha, I was planning on getting a bigger dog, or 'older' one, and not a puppy. I had 2 puppies before, but we sold one, and the other died; it was a Yorkshire Terrier puppy that was 3 weeks old. I really think this Maltese is cute: http://www.puppyfind.com/member_photos/full/7/7k765t87di7.jpg And this Golden Retriever: http://www.puppyfind.com/member_photos/full/k/k3l7z8gah4h.jpg But they're puppies, so I wouldn't really be able to get them, and the Maltese $1500...

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD seriously, though, we're talking about death by old age here, the death you want your dog to have if you take care of it. (my chihuahua is 10 years old) "Nearly 40% of small breed dogs live longer than 10 years, but only 13% of giant breed dogs live that long. The average 50-pound dog will live 10 to 12 years. But giant breeds such as great Danes or deerhounds are elderly at 6 to 8 years." soo yeah, that's proven and can't be unproven, sorry umu but!!! big dogs are better protectors and are also very fun. if you have an apartment i recommend a small dog cuz they are beautiful babies. if you have a bigger house and you prefer big dogs i'd get a big dog. i personally would get a small dog either way because i absolutely adore them!! i lov sleeping in my bed with them and carrying them and playing around with them. so me personally would get the maltese. they're apparently one of the least agressive small dogs (not like my chihuahuas hahah) so yeah!! I would get the maltese. do whatever you want, though. AND STOP HATING ON SMALL DOGS!! SMALL DOGS!! WOO!!!! also, im pretty sure anyone can agree with this, whether big dog person or tiny dog person: research your dog breed first!!! this will help you keep it alive and know what to give it. when i got my chihuahuas my parents did the research cuz i was like four and didn't know anything but you're older so you should help in this!! it'll help you keep the doggy alive and well for many years!! good luck with ur dog, whether you get one big or small >o< have you considered getting a dog from a shelter or a kennel, though? | |
