[Breeds] Australian Shepherd or Golden Retriever?
Hey Guys! I'm looking into getting a dog sometime later this year or next, and so far I've narrowed it down the Aussie and a golden retriever, however I'm definitely open to sugguestions! I'm looking for a medium-to-large dog that's friendly-to-reserved with strangers, but definitely a "velcro" dog with me, or at least very affectionate. We live in Northwest Florida, where it's pretty warm all year round, we only have a few days here were it's freezing temperatures, so heat tolerance, while under precautions of course, is important. Ease of training is also important, as well as no dog aggression because I'm interested in dog sports like flyball, agility, obedience, disc dog, and most definitely trick training. This also means that I want an active dog, but not a dog that has to CONSTANTLY be going going going. It will just be my girlfriend and I, and as I homosexual couple, children don't look like a strong possibility, and definitely not accidentally. We do live in a townhouse, so I prefer a dog that doesn't bark just to hear it's own voice. We don't own any other pets, however we could end up getting another dog or a snake. As far as dog experience goes, I have had a golden retriever before and a corgi mix (I had to rehome them when my life kinda fell apart, and I don't plan on bringing a dog into my life until I am certain my life is definitely stable.) My girlfriend is a major pit bull fanatic, and has primarily owned and been around pitbulls.
Thank you, and again, if you feel neither of these quite fit, I'm happy to hear some alternatives!
