First and foremost: would your dog tolerate a perky little Lhasapoo eager to make new friends —> who will *definitely* prance up to your dog (tail a-wagging), sniff his/her butt, and then await the response to see if it's okay-to-play? He's quite playful (especially at first, until the new-dog novelty wears off)—but never aggressive. That said, since he just assumes all dogs are as friendly as he is —> it probably *wouldn't* be a good match if your dog is generally anxious around other dogs + unlikely to warm up over time. My second concern would be the size of your dog + his or her activity level. While we spend at least an hour each day at the dog park or going for a walk, I live in a one-bedroom apartment without a fenced-in yard—which means limited space indoors for the dog to run around and play. Also, my dog has a bit of a Napoleon complex (i.e., delightfully oblivious to how small + fancy he looks) —> and whether a chihuahua or a husky, he'll want to play—and I wouldn't want him to accidentally get hurt by a dog who's too big or who plays too aggressively. [Ha, in my experience, though, most big dogs don't even see him as a play-thing—but more like a mosquito that keeps following them around]. And re: *breed preferences* —> none. Ha, I guess I'm not doggy-racist… It's my experience that dog misbehavior or aggression has more to do with how that individual dog was raised / trained than with anything inherent to the breed itself.

I prioritize making sure my dog gets daily exercise—come rain or shine… Most days, we'll spend an hour or so at the well-maintained + never-busy nearby Tanzanite Park dog park (in North Natomas). But given my dog's fondness for frolicking with fellow canines, we'll occasionally venture up to the busier North Natomas Regional Park (with separate play areas for small vs. large dogs). When the weather's not cooperating—or sometimes just to change things up—we'll go for a walk along the nearby Bannon Creek parkway —> or head down to the river along the bike trail. In terms of fun indoor activities… I'm certainly limited by the size of my apartment —> but since I work from home + am always eager for an excuse to take a break from thesis-writing, I'm typically down for a game of indoor fetch. And my dog doesn't seem to mind the slightly-awkward room-hopping + corner-avoiding—ha, or at least he's good at *humoring* me… ? Also: my schedule (as well as my own dog's temperament) = flexible enough that I can typically accommodate special requests for outdoor activities—e.g., making sure a higher-energy dog gets some extra exercise so he/she's properly tuckered out at night.
