Literally after posting my last one, I found the forum on this very discussion. But something I forgot to mention.... some cities and areas, require dogs to be fixed for them to be in public at those spots. For example, my city has a lot of private dog parks, pet friendly bars, and plenty of pet friendly shops downtown that I have been told your dog has to be fixed to go to. This normally wouldn't be a problem if I never went out. However, all of the breeds I've lived with and owned throughout my life are very active breeds. This makes it super hard to be social as an owner.
