I'm just a thriteen year-old kid living in a carpeted house, I have three brothers who are going to help me take care of the dog. I'm thinking of a pug or a yellow lab.

And by the way, doesn't need too much grooming, can be left at home(ex. when I need to go to church), not messy and playful.

doesn't defficate too much, can wear clothes and requires only 2 walks a day(I live in Connecticut, USA and it snows a lot here, sometimes too cold outside.) and can live in a random climate region(What I mean by that, the climate can switch easily from hot to cold. And summers here reach 107 degrees farenheit)

A Labordor Retriever. The yellow lab, I think would be ideal for you and your family. They are affectionate and very smart. I would stay away from the pugs, because with their squished in nose, they all have some breathing problems.

Labs are great. They can be great companions for sports, hiking, and playing Frisbee. Unfortunately, they shed a lot, so mom might not be very happy. Pugs are also very fun, but they are small and won't be a good companion for sports and activities. You might really like an older dog from the animal shelter. Often they are already housebroken and are ready to come home and be good pets. Other breeds, or mixes of breed that you might look at, would be golden retrievers, standard poodles (the big ones, about the same size as a lab, athletic, very smart, no shedding at all. If they aren't kept in show coat the hair is very easy to take care of and not ridiculous looking either), Australian shepherds, and if you want something small, miniature schnauzers are wonderful.

The smartest dog is the border Collie but the hair is a little longer. It's hair is easy to maintain and you can cut it short. 2nd smartest is the poodle but the are too smart for their own good. The standard poodles are a nuisance because they are big and silly. German Shepard's are easy to train and the 3rd smartest but the hair is a problem. Eighth is the Lab easy to train sheds a little but has a good temperament. Also Belgium Shepard's are smart and they have a short hair one. Smaller dogs like Pugs tend to have a little bit of attitude but can also be trained well.
I have either a Black Lab Shepard mix or he is: I am now being told a Belgium Shepard Malinois. He catches footballs or did more so when he was younger like Jerry Rice and he still a great Frisbee dog at 12 years of age.

Go with the Yellow Lab they are great dogs and they are highly intelligent, easy to train, very versatile, loving loyal and affectionate. They love the snow and have a good coat to tolerate it. They absolutely love to swim and are the greatest companions. The Pugs do not tolerate the cold and can not be out in the heat. You won't be able to take the pug on long walks they are more of a lap dog. The Lab you can play with, take swimming, go on walks, and they love to play fetch.

I agree that Dobermans, Border Collies and German Shepherd are extremely smart. notwithstanding i'd not say that those are the finest breeds to coach as they ideally elect a coach with journey with dominant dogs (for the Dobe and the GSD) and a coach that knows a thanks to get the ultimate out of a Border Collies through always wondering one step basically before them. With that in concepts i might want to signify a Golden Retriever or a Labrador as they're probable to be a lot less stressful to coach because they're slightly better laid back typically and could be coach through even the most amateur dogs coach (obviously with some education for the coach).

Pugs are pretty high maintence. you need to clean their face every week and their ears every week or two. They shed a lot. They also do not do well with heat (they dont breath too well). It was hard to tell if you wanted an indoor or our door dog. Pugs are not out door dogs.
labs are a little less trouble to take care of. there are plenty of mixes at the pet shelter, so i would look there!

Smartest dog ever....Border Collie. Easy to train, playful, very attentive to their masters. But....alas...they are a bit hairy. And they are too smart to just ignore. You'ld have to treat it with some respect.
Maybe you ought to get a pug.

I love pugs but pure bred dogs can be expensive. Get yourself along to your local animal shelter. Tell then exactly what your looking for in a dog and they should be able to help you out no bother. I got my greyhound from the NSPCA and I couldn't be happier, they were great and helped so much.
Hope this helps xxx

Pugs are a great idea. They cnat open their mouth very much ( 2 bite you)
Labs shed alot
I, myself, would go for a pug or a shorthaired chihuahua(smart, but a one-person dog usually) so stick with pug

Toy Poodle
They don't shed, they're extremely clean, very loyal and extremely loving. I'd swear they are fur people. My poodle potty trained in 2 days! My second one trained in 2 weeks. Both incredibly intelligent. Incredible dogs!
