Things to think about: 1. Have you had a puppy before? Some breeds are more suitable for first time owners, while other breeds are extremely stubborn and hard to train. ALL puppies act a lot like babies so you should really think it over, and if you don't want sleepless nights, peeing in the house, chewing things up, etc, consider an adult dog. There are a lot of dogs at shelters that have been raised around children and are there no fault of their own. 2. A lot of it will depend on where you get your puppy from. Pet stores and bybs will produce possibly aggressive fearful dogs while good responsible breeders will have socialized puppies that are suitable for family life. Some of the pup's temperament will also depend on the training it gets while its in your care, so you should do a ton of research on socialization, the stages of puppyhood, and how to properly teach your dog manners such as sitting when asked, crate training, walking on a leash etc. 3. Since you have young children, don't get a small breed dog. Chihuahuas for instance are very fragile at only 3-4 pounds when they're 8 weeks old. A young child just doesn't have the ability or motor control to not accidentally hurt a puppy that small, who can easily break a leg and cost thousands of dollars in vet bills. That being said, all puppies need protection from young children and you should never leave an animal and child alone together. 4. Ask yourself: How much do I jog now? Meaning today, not what you plan to do. If you regularly go outside and jog in the park every single day, a large more active breed would fit your lifestyle. If you honestly don't then you need to look for a more laid back dog. Even lazier dogs will need walks at least a couple of times a week so no matter what you'll still need to do some exercise with it. I would not suggest a Border Collie as they are somewhat high maintenance. They are intelligent and absolutely need a job to occupy their minds or they may get destructive/neurotic. They are also reactive and sensitive to loud sounds and are not a good choice for young children. You might also consider omitting the Dachshund from your list due to its smaller size. The breed's stubborn nature can result in conflicts with small children. They are also vulnerable to back injuries if mishandled. Labs and goldens are very good for first time puppy owners. Bulldogs require only casual walks and are generally very affectionate with most people. Miniature Schnauzers may work for you, but will require daily exercise as an adult. A beagle would be a little more challenging for you but would work if you were willing to put the time, patience and effort into training it well. Also look into Spaniels, Corgis, full size Poodles.

Answer 3

Start with good quality food. Good food will make your dog shed less. I do not mean IAMS or anything you can find in the supermarket. You will have to go to a specialty store. You may have to spend more, but you'll often feed less with quality foods.

Second, brush your dog. Some dogs do shed a lot, so those you will have to brush. If you control the hair loss, then it is much easier to maintain.

Third, which you have started (although a little late), do some research. Find out how much your breed should shed, why your dog is sheding so much, how to stop/prevent it, etc.

I hope this helps, and good luck.

Answer 4

If she has short hair, when you bathe her use a bathing mitt designed to help remove loose hairs, then brush daily. Make sure you don't over-bathe her and you might need to add some supplements for skin and coat to her diet, like NutriVed and/or 3V Caps, Skin formulation which have Vit A, D and E as well as Omega 3.
Her food should contain a minimum of 2 percent linoleic acid for optimum skin and coat health.
If she has long hair, then healthy diet, skin and coat supplements and brushing daily. IF a coat that has an undercoat, you might consider investing in a furminator.

Answer 5

Make sure to groom her every day. Feed a high quality food. This helps to cut down on shedding. Get a really good vacuum like the Dyson animal and use it every day.

Brush your dog daily and vacuum daily. Otherwise change that carpet. I have white carpet and a black lab shes not allowed on the carpet she knows her boundaries.

I think the bright red carpet is the problem. Get rid of that first. Wood floors make cleanup much easier.
