Where do I buy a puppy (I don't know any breeders): - a Siberian Husky and the Alaskan Malamute? - Rhodesian Ridgeback - German Shepherd How much does one cost? Is there someway I can try these puppies for some time until I commit a few months later? I currently look for these functions but then this could change later: - guard me - curl up on the couch - training puppy is worth my effort - trekking companion

My mother owned a German Shepherd when I was young. He was loyal and died at my mother's feet by coming and lying there. Out of grief my mother never got another. I take care very often of other dogs and know a lot about them. But none of them are those I have listed. I have taken dogs to Eastwood dog training oval. I like the Siberian Husky or the Alaskan Malamute but don't know how to survive together with them in Australia. From reading, a Siberian Husky is naughty and fast while an Alaskan Malamute is stronger. I saw two of them being taken for a walk in Epping. Similarly I fell in love with two Rhodesian Ridgeback's being taken for a walk by a couple last week in McLaren Vale as the dogs tried to get friendly with me. Experience suggests that I take one dog first and then the second later because by then I would be the owner of a larger new home that can fit both dogs. I don't know?: - if to de·sex - will they develop any bone or muscle injury due to climbing on staircases or jumping a larger obstacle at a young age - how much training time is required? - of hobbyist clubs - can you suggest some? - get different breeds rather than two dogs of the same type a) two Siberian Husky's or get two Alaskan Malamute's instead? b) two Rhodesian Ridgeback's which are as tall as me. (They feel just as hot with their hair as do the husky and malamute).

A book on which dog to buy? 09-06-2021, 02:45 PM I have broken my question into two parts so as to identify an author whose one book should suffice (once you have shortlisted such an author and chosen your dog then I could read specifically about the dog:- Part I:- Do you know an excellent book that gives you detailed explanation on dogs (I prefer larger dogs though at times smaller dogs may be better so I don't want to limit myself), - cost of ownership during its lifetime - how smart it is, - it's food habits, - how it treats children, threat to children, - what type of owner would be able to manage it, - which will advice me on it's suitability in Australian weather conditions. Australia is very hot 9 months and very cold for 3 months. - size of house and land required - friendliness with others and barking habits Part II:- The best book on training the dog; difficulties associated with the training on different breeds, feasibility of training dogs by myself or is an experienced trainer required? Why I decided on owning one:- My brother and sister-in-law are pushing me to buy at least one dog. I met two boisterous dogs that were taller than me when it tried to lick me yesterday in McLaren Vale, South Australia. The wife and husband told me it was a European breed of dogs which is very large and that the dogs were being friendly. My interest only increased and now I would like to know which one to own. Or is there a club that gives better information than books? Dogs I shortlisted:- - Alaskan Husky - German Shepherd - Weimaraner - Rottweiler - King Charles Cavalier
