    I'm renting a house right now, but it's a 4 bedroom, 2 story and waaay too big for just me and my 2 year old - and I've given up on the roomate thing. I want to move into something smaller to save a few bucks each month on rent and utilities and put that extra cash towards buying a home.

    Eww...yappy dogs aren't for us, haha. I know alot of people love small dogs, but I want one we can take to the park and throw a fisbee around with.

    ^^I have a chihuahua and he's not yappy and plays fetch and tug-a-war just like any big playful dog. Though a frisbee is way too big for a chihuahua, we have to find small toys Just trying to say, not all small dogs are yappy prissy things. You might be surprised. And if you really want to move into an apartment, you should at least consider it. It's not really fair to put a dog over 30 lbs in an apartment.

    That really surprises me. I have noticed that vegas is really a dog-friendly city (lots of dog parks, plastic bag dispensers in grassy areas, etc.) I'm sure if you rent from an independent landlord (ie rent out a condo) and were willing to put down a deposit you could find a landlord who would let you keep a golden retriever.

    On the side- I love dogs, but I don't know if I'd want to get a big dog if I were a working mom with a 2 year old. I had a golden retriever in college while I was living in apartments and its not like you can just let the dog out in the backyard. You have to go outside and walk it no matter what. Its a lot of work for one person. I have another dog now and I love her, but you HAVE to be home to let them out and exercise them all the time. Its an enormous time commitment.

    Thanks for the concern, but been doing ALOT of research on the breed (along with Labrador Retrievers) and am aware of the time/energy commitment. Obviously I work nights, so I am able to take care of it all day and my daughter's babysitter is willing to take care of it while I'm at work. These breeds actually like to be crate trained, too, so if we have to leave to run errands she can chill in her crate for an hour or two so not to wreck the house. I want a breed that will require me to get out of the house and excercise and won't allow me to sit on my ass/watch tv/read sw all day They're suppost to be two of the best breeds for families, too.

    Golden retrievers are great family pets. Very gentle dogs.


    Vegas does seem much more pet friendly than other cities, but I have found that there are always weight restrictions. My apartment comnplex is under 30lbs as well...although the neighbors across the street have a black lab......our complex is very lenient and forgiving. We've never paid our pet deposit for the cats, but the property manager knows we have them. She just said if we ever get "caught" we'll have to pay the deposit.

    I agree, big dogs need more room than most apartments can allow. That's generally the reason most don't allow it. My husband and I are both big dog lovers big or small and favored larger breeds but we got our shih tzu because we were still in an apartment and didn't think it would be very fair to put a large breed in an apartment, even if it was a roomy 2 bed, 2 bath.

    I used to live here and remember people having medium to large sized dogs. The area is not bad either.



    We accept cats and LARGE dogs up to 70lbs. Some breed restrictions apply. Pets must be at least one year in age.

    Aw that stinks. I was on an apartment hunt and only found one place that allowed large dogs. Hard enough to find a place that takes dogs, period.

    Good luck. Sites like forrent.com have search engines where you can choose to show places that allows dogs but I've noticed a lot of apartment complexes don't put up profiles.

    Just please be careful and research the breeder very carefully.

    The golden down the street from us has bitten 5 children already, and it's puppies from the last 2 litter (all total) have 17 bites between them all. (Funny enough though, the only parents NOT complaining about the pit bull next door are the ones that their children have been bitten by the golden, everyone else wants him gone, but the golden can stay! The pitty hasn't bit anyone, maybe licked their face clean, but not even nibbled on a stray cat, lol!)

    If you want a good rugged big dog that is awesome with kiddos and family, try an American Bulldog. They are awesome!

    ^^ The problem with American Bulldogs is they get lumped in with pit bulls so a lot of places won't rent to you if you have one.

    Hey- I apologize. I didn't mean to sound condescending!!! For the record, I think goldies and labs are GREAT family pets. (That's why I got another one btw- thought this time I have someone I share the responsibility with.) When I said " a dog is a big commitment" what I meant to say having a dog in an apartment is a pain in the ass.

    I loved my goldie, but I can tell you I did NOT love coming home at 4 in the morning after 10 hours of being on my feet at work and taking out the dog (who was wired cuz she'd been cooped up all that time) for a walk. In the dark. Sometimes in the rain. (Or the snow where I lived.) Here, you don't have to deal with the snow, but then the problem becomes- the dog is miserable all summer long because its just too hot to go outside to go for a walk or run and play.
    Anyway, my goldie lives with my ex now. (He was always "her person" anyway.) She has the run of a huge house when he's at work all day, a big yard, and he adores her so he takes her on walks all the time. Especially because he's still single. Anyway, good luck with whatever decision you make. I apologize again.
