My 13 year old daughter, Amy, wants a pup. She has researched MANY breeds for almost a year and she has decided that she would like a German Shepherd or a Labrador. She is very responsible and very committed to getting a pup. She has offered to pay atleast half (or all) of the price of the pup when she saves enough money. She has told me her reasons why she wants a dog and that she will look after the dog for the next 10-15 years of it's life. She knows that I, nor my hubby or her brother will be taking on the responsibility and she has agreed. She knows that she will be the one walking, feeding, grooming, training the dog and she knows that. The dog will cost $600-$900 depending on the breed and she knows all health problems etc.
I'm just not sure whether to agree to the dog or not. I think her decision of the GSD is good as she will be walking it and it can be a great watchdog and can protect her shall anything happen. A Lab probably wont due to their friendly nature.
