i cannot stress enough that even if you intend to do sports with your dog, even if you intend to work your dog you should get a type of dog you can enjoy living with WITHOUT sports and/or work. Dogs cannot do sports/work forever. Sometimes they need a break from sports/work due to injury. That is just a reality and you are going to have to live with that sportless/workless dog (even if temporary).
#dogblr#dog opinions#look. i just think people get dogs to DO sports#rather than get dogs they enjoy and do sports because they enjoy said dog#my enjoyment of my breed's quirks (including negatives) does not falter if they are unworked#me: again getting on my 'teach sport dogs to live regular dog lives' pedestal#there's a balance yall#anyways my breeder posted videos of slash's mom and grandma at 11.5 and 13 respectively still looking amazing and having fun#just doing walkies and zoomies and stuff#old lady things#and there's just as much enjoyment in THAT as there is in that accomplishment of good work/good sport
