Completely depends on the amount of wear, and what you do when you are wearing them. It varies depending on your lifestyle basically.

about to weeks for me wowowee, but mega has a valid point. oh & it also depends on the cut of the denim as the closer fits tend to set sooner than later

Thinking about getting a dog, two questions.
Are pets important to the development of a child?
Which breeds of dogs are good with kids?
I always grew up with dogs, so I love them. When me and Pam first for our house we had a Siberian Husky, that did not end well.
-
Can't answer the first one definitively, but I can attest that Rottweilers are great with kids if you do your research on how they were bred. Mine was bred for temperament, not size. I have yet to see him act aggressively except for the shady neighbors he barked at one time. I gave him a treat for that because they set off my spider sense as well

Rotties are awesome with kids and just all around bad asses of the K-9 world in every sense.
Labs- can't go wrong with a lab. I prefer yellows

I've owned all sorts of breeds, but my favorite has been the Pyrenees. They are loving, gentle, and have incredible instincts. They take protecting the house/property very seriously. Mine has chased bears and large cats off the property:
(That's not mine, BTW). Mine is staying at my Mom's in Washington. She has a lot of property, which is essential for the breed.

If you get one, make sure you get one that is a good match for your available space. Nothing worse than a big, energetic dog trapped in an apartment.
I think dogs probably are good for kids, but they're a lot of extra responsibility for the whole family. I'm trying to hold Julie off on getting one because I just don't want to deal with caring for another living thing.

Current thinking is that I want a Shiba Inu, Pam want s a miniature Schnauzer, and Tommy just wants a dog.

The holy dogs need a strong leadership as all dogs. Although they are beautiful i would probably not begin with this breed. Get a mini Bull Terrier those should be cool with Kids and Family

Beagle would be a good compromise dog, and Tommy loves them, and they have a very gentle temperament.
After discussions we have decided that we are a year away from a dog (apologies for wasting peoples time on the dog discussion), as we have a BIG 12 months ahead of us.

Gav take ur time thats fair enough, for u, your fam and the animal. I have waited over 20years to get another dog and it was only possible also because my employer fully supported my decision. Whatever you choose you will be cool, showing the dog love and its direction and place in the pack. Good luck whenever the time comes man. I never regretted having Jessy but it is hell of time consuming.

Also when choosing a breed, think what you are willing and able to do with that dog.
If you want it just to be around, choose a breed that doesn't need lotsa exercise/walking out and doesn't have hunting instinct.
If you're willing to make your dog a hobby…then think what you want to do with it. Narrow down the choices and see what will be left.Chris is right about the size. Also I think Tommy will want to walk the dog, so smaller dog will be more suitable than say 70kg Rottie.
Think, study and ponder. In best (worst?) case scenario the dog will be with you 10-15 years.
