So, my boyfriend and I (both 29) are at that stage of life where getting a dog feels like the next big commitment…

We live in an apartment, but we’re not couch potatoes. We’re out hiking, hitting the beach basically every weekend and on long walk and park every day. He runs a lot (like 15-20k every couple of days) and the dog would stay at my parents’ place whenever we’re not working from home they have two very sweet, well-behaved medium schnauzers who are down to chill with other dogs. So the dog wouldn’t be alone much, if ever.

We’re drawn to big dogs. Love the look and personality of Irish Setters (a close friend has one) and German Wirehaired Pointers (but reading about pointers energy levels has discouraged us). I’d say I’m a decent amateur trainer and totally willing to level up with classes or a program if needed. So: thoughts on these breeds or any other breed you can think of?
