Answer 1

It depends on what you are looking for in a dog - please don't just judge on looks alone. Here are some pros/cons for each breed:

1) Boston Terrier
Pros: small size, does not require excessive excercise or large meals, very friendly personality, good for apartment/condos, low maintenance coat
Cons: snoring/wheezing, short nose can lead to respiratory problems, drooling, harder to housebreak

2)Labradoodle - This is not a purebreed - characteristics will range between that of a labrador and a poodle (is not 100% non shedding)
Labradors: pros - active, friendly, sociable, eager to please
cons - very active until about 3 years of age, requires lots of exercise, suffers from separation anxiety
Poodles: pros -playful, curly non-shed coat (ideal for people with allergies), obedient, attentive
cons - can be timid - requires proper socialization, barking, coat requires regular clipping, emotionally sensitive

3)Husky
Pros: loves outdoor activities (sledding, hiking, etc), able to withstand cold temperatures, playful
Cons: loves to pull, can be very independent and stubborn - they need firm and consistent training, very strong prey drive, heavy shedding, very active, require a fenced yard because they like to escape

4)Golden Retriever
Pros: very friendly, obedient, enjoys outdoor activities, gets along well with pets and other people, dependable
Cons: shedding, ear infections are common, doggy odour, can suffer from separation anxiety, requires alot of exercise, loves its food - tendency for obesity

5)Pug

Cons: short muzzle leads to snoring, drooling and respiratory problems; bulging eyes are susceptible to eye injuries, stubborn, hard to housebreak

6)Beagle
Pros: very friendly and sociable, small and athletic, enjoys outdoor activities, good with other animals
Cons: independent, hard to obedience train and housebreak, tendency to obesity, can be noisy (howling), when it catches an interesting scent - it will ignore you

7)Shar-pei
Pros: easy to housebreak, clean, very sturdy looking dog, doesn't bark alot, needs only moderate exercise
Cons: independent, requires confident owner, major health problems - skin problems, allergies etc., can be aggressive - look for a reputable breeder, strong prey drive, not good with other dogs - requires alot of socialization

8)Wolfhound
Pros: calm, known as the gentle giant, responsive
Cons: very large dog - requires good food and lots of space, strong chasing instincts, short lifespans, coat requires regular brushing and trimming, likes to jump - can clear high fences

9)Collie
Pros: good watchdog, only requires moderate exercises, responsive, sensitive, sweet natured
Cons: suspicious of strangers - requires lots of socialization, herding instincts (nipping at your feet, chasing you etc), likes to bark, can be stubborn, depending on the coat variety (rough/long haired or smooth/short haired) can require daily brushing

10)Miniature Pinscher (Min Pin)
Pros: small size, easy to care for coat, does not require alot of exercise/food, is active for a small dog, lively gait (almost like a prancing horse), good watchdog
Cons: feisty, yappy, strong willed, hard to housebreak, chasing instincts, needs to be kept stimulated or will be destructive, very active

There are plenty of resources on the web with regards to breed temperments, exercise requirements, grooming etc. Do your homework, and look up the characteristics of the breeds you are interested in. Good luck :)

Answer 2

You should do more research into each of these breeds they all have very different characteristics and qualities. For instance a Wolf Hound only lives 6 years and a min pin can live up words of 20 years. Beagles can be very loud (they were bred that way for a long time) and pugs have a lot of health problems. You have to look at your life and what kind of pet you need. Then research each breed to find the one that fits best with your life style. Once you decide on a breed find a good breeder from akc.com and spend some time with their dogs to be sure that the breed is right for you before you buy a dog.

Answer 3

No one can realistically provide an answer to your question without knowing more information. "Nice" and "cute" are not the only considerations when deciding to get a dog. Dogs live generally speaking 10-18 years depending on breed (small dogs usually have a longer life span). This is a big commitment and you have to consider what it is you are looking for in a canine companion. Are you looking for a lap dog, a jogging partner, a watch dog? Also, what accommodations can you provide? Do you have a fenced yard? Some of the larger breeds you listed will require more excercise.

Basically, all the breeds you listed have specific qualities and tendencies and are worthy in their own rights. Of course anyone who answers will pick THEIR favorite breed, but this may not be right for you.

FIrst you need to decide what it is you're looking for in a dog, then you can ask this question again and provide that information. Or go to your library and check out one of those really big books on dogs and look up the breeds you are interested in. These books contain a lot of specific information on breeds (generalities of course) such as size, temperments, positive and negative traits, inherent diseases and medical problems, etc. This will help narrow down your list.

Remember to keep in mind the "whole package" and not just appearance in making your selection. Both you and your pet will be happier for it.

Answer 4

They are all really good choices, but it depends on YOUR personality too, if you like to cuddle a lot, i would get either a Sharpee or a Pug or also even a chihuahua. If you want to more play with your dog but also be loved either a retriever, Collie or lab. If you are looking for cute, cuddly, and loving i would not go with the Mini pinchture. Even though they are adorable, they are EVIL. Also I had a beagle once, she was hard to train and VERY stubborn, i do not know if they are all like this...But I would not go with a beagle. Wish you the best of luck! Enjoy your dog!

Answer 5

Google each breed that you have listed and find out as much as you can and then choose the right type of dog for your lifestyle.

Please research so that you don't end up taking a puppy to the pound after 6-12 months.

I love Husky's but they may not be for you. I would never own almost every other dog on your list because of my lifestyle.

Answer 6

You really should go to the Humane Society and see about adopting a dog from them.

Almost every pure-bred dog will have some sort of health problems because of decades of inbreeding. And with mixed breeds it seems like you usually end up with a healthy dog with a great personality.

There are almost always some really adorable mutts at the pound that are going to be put to sleep if they aren't adopted.

I got my dog Onion from the pound and he's been the best dog I've ever had. I know this sounds corny, but I swear that he somehow knows that I saved his life. He absolutely worships me (and vice versa)

Answer 7

Haha, Labordoodle! Sounds like some secong rate game that only can be found at select Toys R Us locations. (Definitely not Labordoodle, jsut cause the name is retarded) Go with the Beagle, I mean who doesnt love snoopy?

Answer 8

Pugs are incredible little dogs. They have such personalities. They are like little kids, so silly and loving. They have the ability to run around playing then bring it down to zero and be a big lap cuddler. It's true what they say about pugs-you can never have just one.

Answer 9

You have given many different sizes here.

You need to know how much room you can give your new dog.

Ask yourself these questions:
Do I have a large yard?
Do I live in an apartment?
Will I be able to spend quality time with him/her?
Can I afford medical bills, grooming and monthly pills (heart worm, flea and tick)?

The bigger the dog, the more expensive. (food, medical etc)
The hairier the dog, more grooming expenses.

Me personally, love the bigger dogs. Golden Retrievers are very gentle and great with kids.
Remember all puppies are adorable, and then they grow up.

Please don't be like my neighbors and get dogs, then get rid of them a few years later, because it isn't cute anymore. :-(

Answer 10

Golden Retrevier.

They are beautiful dogs with a very pleasant disposition. They are easy to train and aren't agressive.

I would really reccomend staying away from Beagles unless you have a lot of time/energy to put into training. It's very easy to have a beagle that refuses to behave if it's not trained properly form the get-go. (My brother has one that he got for the cuteness level but didn't have the time it takes to train this particular breed.)

Answer 11

It mostly depends on what kind of lifestyle you lead. For most of those types of dogs you need a LOT of time to devote to your dog and have to have a lot of room for them to run and play. Also, make sure that you're going to keep it for all it's life, and not just get rid of it if it's too inconvenient for you. They all make good pets, but since I don't know anything about your lifestyle, I would do some research on those breeds so you can get the best one for you.
