Dog Health Questions: Best dog breed for me?

I have almost successfully trained my GSD X, and now I'm starting to look at a puppy to buy.

Although all my pets have been from the pound so far, I want to go to a reputable breeder and select a brand new puppy and begin training from the very start.

I don't have much time for grooming, my girl has a proper spa bath almost every fortnight.
I walk at least twice a day so size is exercise is no problem.
I am a confident trainer, my GSD X had major social problems and now she's fine. I don't think there's an issue that can't be fixed.
I go to dog training at least once a week so the dog will become perfectly social.

I'm looking at maybe a Basenji or a Shiba Inu.
What dog breed would be best for me?

My hats off to you. I really like hearing about good owners and from the sounds of it you are one. I would recommend doing research on both the basenji and the shiba inu. If you feel they are good dogs for you, then you should definitely looking into them. Check out multiple websites and even contact the actual breeders. Every dog is different and you can't tell just by the breed standard. I have included one of my favorite sites, good luck with your new puppy.

• kudos! That's great you've adopted shelter animals,i have also :) Maybe since your really good at rehabilitating animals with issues you should keep it up! But i get where your coming from,i think maybe a akita [big,powerful,stubborn,yet sweet with their loved ones] that breed will be challenging for people with no experience but you'd be fine.They are really sweet dogs with the right owner.I think you'd fit the bill. :) Good Luck!


• well i heard Shiba Inu.
