So when Sabe and I were in the discussion stages of the plans for our puppies together one of the many things we carefully thought about was the size of the dog(s) in question.
We liked Malamutes a lot... We met several of them and really enjoyed them, but we learned when dealing with Maeve's troubles that a dog that large was not right for us. Maeve was only 50 lbs and we were already having a lot of struggle being able to help her when her rear legs stopped working properly.
Also we wanted to be able to take our dogs when we traveled places and that is easier with smaller rather than larger dogs.
That being decided I still wanted a dog that is a little more solid and not tiny and petite. We settled on the around 30 lbs range.
We are now learning that there is one drawback (at least for Sabe) to the size of dog we ended up with... The Curly Tails are just the right height that when they bounce up to greet him after a long day they manage to target that most tender of boy areas almost every time O.O
I guess nothing says welcome home like a good punch in the groin...
PS: For the people that do not know Maeve was our aged rough collie that passed away September of 2011.
