Check a website (american kennel club site, for example) that tells you about the temperament of the type(s) of puppy you are interested in. All puppies are cute, but the kind of personality that puppy might have once it grows up can be really important. You can also see video there of the different breeds. Puppies can live many, many years. You want to really like the breed of dog you choose!

As for "will a puppy pee in your bed"? Well, yes, it could happen. Puppies are babies, and babies ... pee. The puppy wouldn't mean to, but his/her bladder is small and they can't hold their pee for long. The puppy will learn, but it takes time (and lots of patience from you). You can check out people's opinions on "crate training" at a breeder or vet website. Some people think that it helps to put a puppy to sleep in its own puppy kennel (crate training)... some people can't bear to leave their puppy alone for the night. You decide what is best for you and your puppy. Take your puppy outside to pee often, then tell them what a good puppy they are. He or she will "get the hang" of going outside, and not want to pee inside the house (and especially will not want to pee where he/she sleeps). Just remember, it takes time.

Oh, one last thing... watch for "signs"... if the puppy is sniffing your bed intently, or going around in a little circles... chances are you're in for a puddle on your bed.

Congratulations on thinking it through - you'll be a good owner!

Yes it will pee in your bed until you house break it. The type is up to you , what do you want it for and how much space you have. Theses are all large breeds. Labs love the water and will be in and out of you pool all the time if you have one. Wiemar's love to hunt and dig a lot. Rotts and Dobbies are cuz's. One has short hair , one has long. (makes a diff in cleaning house and car ) . Both usually have tails bobbed and Dobbies may have ears cropped but there is a growing trend not to or you may have trouble finding someone who will do it (my Dobbies ears are still long). All need lots of space to run and play so an apartment type pet they ain't. The Rott can go up to 180-200lbs (big male) . I've had two Dobbie male's over 130lbs (and no fat on em) . The Lab can easily go that weight but not to the Rotties range. The Wiemar will fall in around the Dobbies weight and in all cases the females will be smaller and weigh less . My current female Dobbie is around 73 lbs , 4 1/2 yrs , uncut ears, going to be bread next month (comes in heat about every 6 mo ) and after this litter she'll be spayed. . Remember , it will grow to be a big dog so don't teach it (or let ) sit in your lap while driving, get on the couch or bed , or jump up on you because it won't understand why it was ok or cute to do those things when little but not not after it's all grown up.

If you are getting a dog that big I suggest you do alot more research an not on yahoo. If puppies are less than 8 weeks old they can't control their bladder at all. However dogs don't pee where they sleep so you need to make a bed or crate into a comfy home and let them sleep there. Those dogs are way to big to be in a bed anyways.

I think that Labradors are beautiful dogs and it will only pee in your bed if you let it in your bed before you have trained it. Labradors are beautiful dogs for young people, older people and children. They are companion animals with beautiful soft and friendly personalities, whereas the other breeds on your list, whilst also very beautiful dogs in their own right have other not so friendly characteristics and reputations to be considered. Although you must keep in mind, that as with any pet, their temparements are a tribute to their owners and the training and handling they have received throughout life.

Prepare yourself: sometimes animals do things you don't expect. If you think a relatively little thing like one "accident" will make you want to get rid of a pet, you should just not get one.

When I got my first cat, he peed in my bed. A couple of times. Today I have eight cats. The years and years of companionship and fun my cats have given me far outweigh a couple trips to the laundromat.

If your "puppy" is not housebroken and you put him on your bed- yes, just like a real human baby, it will wet the bed. If you don't want to have to go through the hassle of housebreaking a dog, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE go to petfinders.com and ADOPT. Just take one glance at this website and all the unwanted dogs across America and you have to want to get one from this agency. They have puppies too! I adopted from our Humane society for the first time 5 years ago, I've had 9 dogs in my lifetime and I have to say, Sandee is the sweetest, gentlest and kindest dog-- she appreciates love because unfortunate for her, she was deprived when she ripped from her family and taken to the shelter--- they KNOW, and they appreciate you more for saving them......please look at the website.

It might unless you train it to tell you to go outside and to tell you when it has to go, but if you do get a puppy don't let him sleep in your bed right away but after a few months I might try it once and if it didn't work then just continue to let it sleep were it was and try again in a bit

Yes...... in your bed, in the floor, in your shoes, EVERYWHERE! that's why you need to get it a kennel. You can keep it right beside your bed. If the puppy can't get away from it then it probably won't pee is it can help it. They won't lay in their own filth if they can help it.

This is a pretty thorough site on any questions you may have. BTW, don't get a dog from a store, get one from a shelter. Dogs from stores tend to eat their own poo because of their small confines, a habit that is near impossible to break them of.

Good Luck! And please don't get frustrated and give up!!

How are strangers supposed to tell you which dog to choose? You've told us nothing about your age, lifestyle, activity level....

What your dog does is entirely related to what you do and how you train it.

Sorry, not enough info to help you here. Please add on to your question with more details about your life so we can help.

Nope. Dogs are actually clean animals that don't like being close to their own feces and urine. The dog will hold it all day in the bed...

Good luck!
