Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I fell in love with an EB at a petstore. YES! I said it, lol and NO, I didn't buy him, because I knew NOTHING about the breed... he was just the cutest pup ever.
So, I started to read and research the breed. I am pretty knowledgeable about dogs in general, but, have no idea about this specific breed. The more I read, the more I fell in love.
I have 2 toddlers, 26 month old, and 22 month old, (adopted from foster care), and a 8 year old chihuahua, and a husband lol
I DO have some questions, and if somebody would be able to spare some time answering them, I would be very grateful.
I read such amazing things about this breed, seems everything GOOD that's going on is a YES on my list (non hyper, easy to train, loves kids etc etc etc) BUT, I also see a HUGE list of health issues.
so, here is my question # 1 to you all: (and pls. be frank with me!). would you consider a EB to be more of a 'rich people' dog? somebody who can afford to constantly go to the vet, have surgeries etc etc?
or is it, that mostly people whose dogs have issues, post more?
are they really that sickish? that needy? (medically needy)
what is your take in this? looking forward to seeing your input. THANKS!!
