Breeds will have different activity levels ie need lots of long walks as well as different breeds do different jobs ie guard dogs so unless you can give an idea of what you want the dog to do ie be there for anxiety reasons or as a guard dog it will be hard to recommend one to u

Get a gun. Dogs require care and attention. They are also living beings and should not be brought into your home lightly.

A gun just needs to be loaded and cleaned after handling.
From her profile not sure if guns are allowed in her part of Europe

If ur wanting a breed for guarding purposes you have rottweilers and for anxiety reasons there are small terrier or small spaniel breeds but it's best to also check if any breed of dog is banned in your country

Guns and Pitbulls, the dog I would recommend, both seem to be outlawed in Europe.

Pitbulls are great for being loyal, protective, and if you are looking for a protection dog, bad-ass when they need to be. Before the dog fighting took over the breed were referred to as Nanny Dogs, their reputation of being good with children was well known. They do need exercise and a job. My big boy Bubs' job is to keep the ObbleGooble from attacking the house. Usually done by barking at the mailman and random suspicious objects that might prove to be obblegoobles. My girl Spaz keep Bubs in check. Lil Dude, my newest addition, has the demanding task of being 4 months old and fucking adorable.

I myself have pibble mix breeds cuz they are the most common dog found in American animal shelters. Many people run into problems with renting and breed rules.

My honest answer hit the local shelters up. The caretakers will be able to point you to a dog that will fit you and your lifestyle.

Specific Breeds have specific genetic weaknesses.

Get a Mutt/Mongrel they have hybrid vigor.

That said most of my dogs have been breeds:
Fox Terrier, German Shepherd and West Highland Terrier.

Also having a dog will get you talking to the other dog owners in the area.

Mutts own my heart. :heart:

The dog park is just about the most fun my doggos have. I had to white girl out and read park yelp! reviews to find a safe and reputable park before I felt comfy. Now I am part of the park gang. We meet up for play days and picnics.

Walking around with a dog is a great way to get to know people. Humans seem hard-wired to gush over babies and dogs. And other dog people love making new dog people friends lol

See that what I want, I'm moving to the city where I don't know anyone, it would be a great way to meet new people, I'm more than willing to give time and effort into looking after and caring for my new as yet undecided best friend :)
