my little sister (8) says she loves dogs and knows enough about one to take care of one
but my dad hates dogs, but today she made her puppy dog face work and now the family has the ok to get one
my sister says she will do everything but i dont think she knows what shes up against. we never even had a dog, but we have a rabbit (which is on his last few months) and she barely takes care of him.
my uncle found a black lab/beagle dog for sale and he wants it but his kids are afriad of dogs (we only live a block away from them) so he wants us to have it.
we don't have a big backyard, and most of it is coverd by my pool.
we dont want the dog to swim in it incase it rips the liner
i want a dog but I think that the dog wouldnt like it here
and that wouldnt but fair for the dog
what do you think i should do?????????????????
its a 4month old female black lab/ beagle mix, and i dont know if its fixed or not so yeah
mostlikly i will have to take care of it the most
all she would do is pet is and give is so much attenction that when she left the dog would be sad
so i would get stuck pickin up the poop, walking it, and washing it
this dog will most likely be used for hunting if you wanted to know for you anwser
You are very smart to have said all that you did. Yeah, reason No. 1 for not getting a dog is because your dad doesn't like them. Not good carma for the dog or the rest of the family that will have to deal with his complaining when something happens and something always happens when there are dogs around. No. 2, beagle lab mix is the worst breed you can get with no place to run and only 1 little girl that is going to care for the dog.
If they will get a dog, it should be a little dog that doesn't need to run and doesn't have high energy. Like a shitzu or a poodle, a little lap dog. These dogs problably wouldn't go near the pool. Make sure they get the dog a crate so there are no issues about toilet training and make sure they agree ahead of time to train the dog or else it will end up in the pound as unadoptable when dad decides he had enough.
Beagles are howlers and are very active, labs get lazy in their older age and love water so keeping him from the pool is going to be hard and cruel.

Feeding time with mommy.
