Answer 2

I believe deeply in this answer, especially if this is your first dog.

Look up a local no-kill animal shelter, and go in for a visit. Tell the folks there what kind of life you're offering the dog, and what you'll expect and tolerate from a behavioral standpoint. Chances are that they'll be able to pair up your personality with a specific dog, and you'll end up with a very happy dog that suits your needs. Furthermore, you'll have rescued a dog that otherwise had no home.

It's important that you visit a no-kill shelter for two big reasons.

1) These dogs stick around longer, so the volunteers really get to know their personalities...you'll get the best match from these folks.
2) At a conventional shelter, there's this sense of desparation that occurs when you know unadopted animals are going to be killed (sometimes in a matter of days, depending on how overburdened that facility is) if someone doesn't take them home very soon. This can lead to some bad decision making in the wake of your good intentions.

Good luck with your choice...and be prepared to not go home with a dog on the first visit to make sure you pick the right one.

Answer 3

Try to find that isn't interested in a lot of exercise or mental stimulation. For example a retriever or herding dog is not a good idea but something like a basset hound doesn't mind just lying around the house most of the time. Ideally though, get a dog from a shelter and save its life. Read up on the various breeds so you can recognize them in the mixes so you'll have an idea of the dog's temperament.

Answer 4

It depends on what kind of environment, whether you have children other animals etc. Golden Retrievers are great dogs for a family, German Shepherds are great as well, very intelligent but need attention, they need to have exersise daily to expend some extra energy. They are very protective as well (hence police dogs). However if you go down to the local shelter I gaurantee you wont leave without one of the dogs there.

Answer 5

I would say try to find one off Petfinder.com My mom and sister found great dogs from there. However if you are looking for something purebred I have always been fond of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Here's some info and a picture of them http://www.akc.org/breeds/cavalier_king_charles_spaniel/index.cfm Good Luck!

Answer 6

One that you rescue from the pound. You will get a loyal dog and you will be saving a life! I did - I got a 1/2 chihuahua 1/2 min-pin female and she's my 6 pound shadow.

Answer 7

West Highland Terriors are adorable. Keep in mind though,all terriors are hyper especially the first two years.

Answer 8

cocker Spaneil, Mutt, Terrier, Beagle, Lab, Golden Retrver

Answer 9

Labaradors are very good dogs, but if you want a smaller dog, then a bulldog could be good. A cheaper and just as gread dog would be a Mutt.

Answer 10

A Papillon or a Maltese, The Papillons have ears that stand up and the hair grows long and they look like a butterfly.
