I need to be a dog with a medium amount of energy, as I'll likely walk it about 20-30 mins. daily when I walk, and would take it with me most places, but I'll be living in an apartment so it shouldn't been too energetic. So it would need to be a breed that gets along with everything and everyone especially with small children, as I go to a very close knit church and we all hang out a lot and there are a few kids. I need a dog that is a decent size as I don't find small dogs comforting at all. I prefer dogs that are fairly easy to train, as even though i know a little bit about dog training (I had dogs as a kid) I don't like dogs that are super stupid or stubborn. I know a lab fits most this, but I'm wondering if anyone has any other suggestions or ideas.
Dog Training Techniques - Which Ones Work?
Recommended Answer:
To be honest, there are a lot of dogs in the shelter that fit this description. Not every dog in a breed will match breed standards. There are border collies who are calm and lazy for instance. I find that shelter mutts are more appreciative and caring of their owners and are very willing to please. Don't look for a specific breed, look for a personality and please rescue.
Hope this helps :)
3 Secrets to Dog Training - Immediate Results
- My sister has a cocker spaniel named Snickers and he is very much like your description. I know most people think that they are the exact oppistite but it really just depends on how they are raised. I had a chow chow/ golden retriever mix named Trouble and she was the best dog anyone could ask for. Though chows have hip dysplasia and spaniels have ear and eye problems they really are great dogs.
- You want a small dog with low energy that isn't a huge barker, it sounds to me that you should go with an English Bulldog, French Bulldog, Boston Terrier, or Pug. My friend has a Frenchie and he's so sweet and calm they are also smaller than most Bulldogs. Pugs are the smallest on my list and are also very friendly and most I've seen are very calm and aren't barkers. You should try Petfinder.com they seem to have a lot of Pugs around my area.
- I know this dog might not fit ur qualifications but this is my favorite breed. A rhodesian ridgeback. They are large and almost red in color they are beautiful animals and very sweet mine are active but perfer to strecth out on my couch or take over my bed. They were original bred in Africa to hunt Lions.. i rarely see another person with this breed but i just thought i suggest it...
- I would suggest a beagle. It has a smallish size but has medium energy. It's good with children but it will bark at strangers. It's not very good at training so that may be a problem with you. It would need daily walks too. I hope this helped.
- I honestly think that there are quite a few types of dogs that fit this description. One of my favourites is the Boxer. I also think that a Beagle is nice.
You can look in the pound for any dogs because they are often friendly and have behaviour traning and you'll feel good about it.
Hope this helps! - First ; if you want it to get along with everything and everyone, train it from day one. Introduce it to traffic, kids, old people, men with beards, etc
Beagles and Labs are working dogs and far too energetic for that lifestyle. Beagle SIZE is perfect - have a look at Chinese Cresteds. They're tiny but fit everything else and have huge temperaments for a small dog! Or look at adopting a retired Greyhound. They aren't very vocal, are fine with an offleash run once a day, but aren't very energetic despite their speed. Their nickname is "the 45mph couch potato"! They are usually great with everything and anyone due to their calm, versatile temperaments and are easy to train. They;re intelligent and loving too!
