Question

That are good with kids,people,other aninals.being around alot of people (public places).That are not to hyper.

Answer 1

Labs, golden retrievers, german shepherds

Answer 2

If you want a dog that isn't hyper, consider getting an older dog. They come with basic training as the minimum, you know exactly how big they will ever be and they're already set with a personality that includes getting along with other animals and kids or not. But you'll know right from the start. Many breeds don't calm down until 2 years old but are PERFECT after that point.

Answer 3

First, you need to decide (and be completely honest to yourself) what you can give a puppy/dog.

First of all: how much time are you willing to groom/train?
Will the dog have to be in excessive hot/cold weather while you are at work?
How much activity can you provide the dog?
Do you care if you get dog hair on your clothes?
Are you willing to brush out junk that has settled in the coat after a romp through the woods?
Do you live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of people going by your yard (that would illicit a lot of barking)?
Are you willing to crate train the dog?
Do you have time to potty train a puppy, or would it be better to have an adult that is already through that stage of chewing?

When you answer those questions, you will be able to identify a few breeds that might work out. You can, without a doubt, find a perfect pet at the shelter, or rescue group. If you go to petfinder.org, you can find dogs that live in the homes with people, who have already been evaluated, potty trained, and ready to go. Oh- they are already spayed or neutered too! It's a great way to make everyone win.

Terriers, I'm afraid to say, CAN be very difficult to live with, depending on the breed and the individual of the dog. They are typically feisty, can be "ready to scrap" with other dogs (more of the same sex), and need a lot of activity. They are typically very confident, great with people, and very tough. There are mellow terriers out there, and there are some that aren't. Look at individuals within a breed!

Your retrievers are generally unflappable, kid-proof, friendly, and outgoing. However- some of them are very, very, active, and so you will need to keep this in mind. You cannot admonish a dog for bad behavior when you have not given it fair opportunity to get out and run and play. I actually have one of my dogs on a treadmill once or twice a day, because I couldn't keep up. But she is happy after she's had 30-40 minutes of a good brisk jog on the treadmill.

Your toy dogs are small, a little more tempermental (owners tend to help make them that way), but easy to care for. They can be a bit barky.

I have had a few different breed, and i can tell you, some of my best dogs were standard poodles! They are not the foofoo sissy dogs that people stereotype them to be. They are very, very, intelligent, happy with kids and people, don't leave dog hair everywhere, easy to train, fun loving and a clown at heart. I used one as a pet therapy dog at a nursing home. My other one I had trained to the hilt, and there was no way she would let me out of her site. She was the perfect dog. I even took her bird hunting. The drawback is that they do need regular grooming (they have "hair" like a human, not a coat that blows off) and you need to be careful where you buy one from, because there are a few health problems they are known for.

All breeds are a perfect fit for some, but why not go down and visit dogs at the shelter to distinguish what you like and don't like. And please- dogs want to be with their pack. They don't have to be inside the house 100% of the day, but don't chain them up (it's a great way to foster aggresion and barking problems) or kennel them all day.

Also- try visiting a dog show, and look up kennel clubs in your area to find out when they are. You can then get a schedule and a list of people you can talk to with questions.

Do some reading before you get the dog. You will be happier, and so will your future dog!

Answer 4

The breed is called a Wheaton Terrior. They look white at first, but when they get older they get a little darker. I have one, and they LOVE people, and trainable by yourself. I have taught my dog many things. Just the simple sit, stay, and stuff like that. They are not a too hyper dog. They are so well-mannered.

We named ours Snowball, but come to find out a couple of years later the turns a tanish color. But she still has some white in her.

I think is would be a PERFECT dog for you.

Answer 5

I would suggest a collie, or something that has lab blood in it. Maybe an Irish setter, or a Golden Noodle. They're all the latest rage, apparently. I wouldn't get a German, though. They're a heavier-set dog, and tend to be either aggressive, hyper, or both.

Answer 6

Border Collies are good if raised with you from a puppy. Beagles are also good. Springer Spaniels are good family dogs. These are just a few, but i think going to the animal shelter and finding a mixed breed usually end up making the perfect pets.

Answer 7

We had 2 Brittney Spaniels as kids. The first one was the ANGEL, calm, great around my baby sister (who was learning how to walk and used the dog as a walker, hoist, etc...) And then we had another in the later years; HYPER. It might be because of everyones growing lifestyle we were not around as much as we were before...... I guess its a chance. But the first was the best dog EVER. (Liked to run though--bird dogs!)

Answer 8

the american pit is all of these things the only hazard is that you must find a blood line that has not been imbred or tampered with. ive owned 2 and they are very good with kids but beware some are brerd to fight and guard and may be too inconsistenly calm for kids i would look for dogs in the toy breed or i'd get a greyhound or a sheep dog

Answer 9

Greyhounds

Answer 10

some kind of terrier is what you want. There are various to choose from. I suggest you go out and buy an AKC book that has details of all of them.

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 11

Rat terriers. they are amazing. no they aren't like little purse dogs, but are more like jack Russel's, but cuter. they are great with family's and kids. they usually get along great with other dogs to. but you need to exercise them. just like any dog, take them on a daily og, and keep fresh food and water in a easy to get to place.
