I think the decision to get a dog should be a mutual decision. It's a life that you will be bringing into your home, so if your husband does not want it in the home, it will affect you and the dog. A dog knows when it is not wanted...
When we first thought about getting a dog, I really wanted a yorkie, and at first, he wasn't too keen on the idea until I actually showed him pictures of yorkie pups and saw some...He fell in love, and agreed that this would be the perfect pup for us

We looked at a few different breeds (even though I my heart was set on a yorkie because I wanted a dog we both wanted) but in the end, we BOTH loved the yorkie. Of course, my hubby is so sweet and would do anything to make me happy.
But my point is that if you really plan on marrying this guy, you both need to compromise

My hubby would freak out if I bought 3 carriers at once! LOL
