i had a lab, and she was lovely.. but most of them get pretty big.. i really want like one of thoses little bearded terriers.. but when i first moved out of my dads house and lived alonei had this tiny apartment and so i got a kitten, and it was very nice, because they are much easier to handle.. but seriously.. get one from the pound.. they get puppies.. way too many homeless animals euthanized each year in the us
