A hot dog. You just put a little mustard on it, stuff it in your mouth, it tastes good, and there is nothing more to do!

Senior dogs have less energy and sleep a lot, but they start to have accidents and expensive health problems that can get expensive.
However, a lot of non-kill shelters will provide free food and vet care for life if you adopt an older dog. That certainly makes it oodles easier.
Personally, I find that mutts make the best dogs all around. Pure bred dogs in general are troublesome, dull, more health problems. Mutts usually inherit the best of the both worlds, but people will argue with me because they are not looking for a dog - they are looking for an ACCESSORY.
The easiest dog throughout it's life would probably be a mutt in the 25-50 lb weight range, with short hair - but not too short.

if you are worried about care for a dog already then perhaps you shouldnt get one
for coat purposes I would say a poodle, either size..smaller would obviously be better.
poodles generally just need quick trim ups or brushes here and there...
the white ones are a tad bit difficutlt ot KEEP white..... and poodles are generally lovable sociable, owner attatched kind of dogs
bichon frise is better than the poodle because it is less of a sporty dog...it was bread for companionship..doesnt shed and has a wonderful temperment
DONT GET A JACK RUSSEL if you are worried about easy maintainence! whoever told you that is INSANE. they have an energy level that DEMANDS love, exercise and attention...
anything less then a fifteen minute jog once to twice a day is abuse in my opinion to a jacky of any age.
plus they have serious weight issues if you dont exercise them
they SHED terribly! and are prone to digging
they are a wonderful breed but high maintanence!

My pit bull is VERY easy to take care of. That is why I chose to adopt an adult pit bull. She doesn't require a lot of grooming. Just a bath when she gets dirty or stinky. Pit Bulls are pretty healthy dogs, so there aren't a lot of diseases or health conditions I have to worry about. And she has a medium energy level, so we go for a walk twice a day, and we play with the ball too. She is very smart and very friendly. She learned commands very quickly, she is house trained, and crate trained. So we don't have to worry about any behavioral problems. I think the easiest dogs to care for are short coated medium energy dogs, who are not known for an excessive amount of health problems. And if you train and socialize your dog from an early age, or as early as you can if you adopt an adult, then that will also help with behavioral problems. Obedience classes are also a good idea. Good Luck in choosing a dog breed. Just be sure to research the breed A LOT before you choose, so you know the proper way to take care of it.

A small short haired terrier.
Small, because their messes and needs are small.
Short hair is self explanatory.
And a terrier of a breed that isn't super hyped because terriers are so smart that they can often figure out solutions to their own problems. And their intelligence makes them very alert and responsive so they interact well with their owners.
I have Rat Terriers and think they are the perfect breed, BUT they do take a lot of energy as puppies because they need a lot of attention to train past the barking and chewing stage. I have had nearly every breed and loved them all. Australian Shepards were my favorite until I accidently ended up with a Rat Terrier. He is now 14 and I now have a 6 month old to learn the ropes from the old master. They are wonderful, portable, adjustable, attentive companions.

Medium dogs actually. Not small, high strung types like chihuahuas, but dogs a bit bigger. 20 to 30 pound range. Get a dog that's a relatively calm breed and that's ok by themselves. That's not necessarily breed specific, but the shelter or breeder can often help with information about the particular dog.

All dogs take work. Smaller dogs normally make smaller messes, but then again they are more energetic than most bigger dogs. Yet, small dogs can get their energy out by running around the house a few times. Large dogs need a big backyard and lots of play time to give them their exercise requirements. It all just depends on your personality, lifestyle and how much time you can give to exercise your dog. If you want a laid back dog, get an older dog or certain of the giant breeds such as a Newfoundland.

I don't think size matters, it's all the other things....Erect ears, short hair are low maintenance but then there are the doggie personalities: Beagles are very stubborn, Parson's (JRT's) hyper, others are diggers and runners, just look into the different breeds and ask A LOT of questions when you find a breeder. In essence all dogs require time, if you do not have it; don't get one.

All breeds have their pros and against, so look in the internet. I considered: short hair not to pay a hair stylist (very expensive in my country); there are breeds like daschund or dalmatian without oddor; the price of the food; the money I need for the vet (regulars visits and vacinations); the cost of the handler. But most important: the uncondicional love they give. For them no matter who you are or where you live, they want to be with you and nobody else.

Look for Dogs who dont have many special needs. Littler dogs are more likely to need thier nails trimmed constantly, and Hair cut and brushed all the time. Larger dogs eat more and are more expensive, dig more, and are more prone to arthritus. Little dogs bark more, and have hip problems if you dont constantly watch to make sure they arent jumping on or off something to high up for them. They both need alot of work, to be kept healthy and happy. In all I'd say bigger dogs are more worth the trouble.
