Wow, so many great posts, guys. I really appreciate all of the great info from everyone, esp. on the Vizsla, my own reading on that has been telling me that we may not be up to that level of energy or commitment to daily exercise.If you go to a shelter, all the good planning and ideas may just fade into insignificance if you happen across the right dog.
This post from 2manyrocks hits the nail on the head, and is why I'm trying to do research before visiting the shelter. I'll probably try to do it with my wife, while the kids are off at school, to avoid emotional snap decisions. But even so, I want to avoid bringing home a poor choice. Once the kids see it, no matter how poor a choice, I have a feeling we'll be keeping it.
