Should I Get A Dog?

Let me start by saying I am a huge dog fan.  I have grown up with dogs my whole life and they are the best friends you can have.

Now that I found a place to live I have been wondering if I should get a dog.  I was watching the National Dog Show a couple weeks ago and saw a couple of dogs that I would want as a pet.  Either a French Bulldog or a Bloodhound because not only are they adorable but they are perfect for Montana.

But then again I know deep in my heart I am going to go to the local animal shelter and pick up a dog.  I have worked in the past with animal shelters and know how amazing those animals really are.
