I would take a cat over a dog any day, as I'm not a fan of pets that are clingy or constantly seek approval. I get the appeal of a bundle of energy that just want you to love/be proud of it, but it's not my vibe.
I would also rather scoop a box indoors than carry warm bags of feces outside, and I spend as little time as possible outdoors once it's below -30.
Get a herding dog. They accept you and they might like you, but they are autonomous and decide for themselves what's to do. And they don't want to be inside anyways, so all you need is a big garden. Maybe some sheep.
Get a sled dog. All of the above advantages plus they like to pull heavy loads for you.
Or, you know, just get the cat that you want...
That too.
I don't use a bag, I use a shovel/ scooper thing in the yard.
And poops are super easy to pick up when it's cold lol
