I am very active, I like to go on long walks and take jogs
I want a dog that is medium sized - large
I want a dog that isn't ugly, something really attractive
I've had a dog before, it was a mutt when I was younger, so I already know something about dog training.
I don't mind shedding, grooming, etc. I work at home, so I'm home a lot.
Soooo, give me some ideas so I can do more research on different types of breeds that I might want to get.
Thanks!

Dog Obedience Schools: 4 Tips For Choosing The Right Dog Training Schools
- Well with those things almost any breed of dog over 50 pounds fits your wants, so I can't really suggest a breed.
My personal favorite is a Duck Tolling Retriever, they are pretty attractive looking dogs (at least I think so) and it likes exercise. If you want an uncommon dog, I also like kooikers, but don't know too much about them yet so you would need to the research if you want to look into that breed. They are a bit smaller though. Like 35-55ish pounds. - I don't think there is an "ugly" dog, haha. Even the "ugliest ones" are real cute. As for which dog you should get, well I got an Australian Shepard, and he's my first dog. He is amazing and smart and active and I never have problems with him. Of course like the typical dog he dug and chewed but after some repellent and conditioning he has stopped. He's very smart and learned quick and he's friendly with not only our cat, but everyone else. Good luck!
- I have a springer Spaniel. He is a wonderful dog, Medium build and he is very active, loves to play ball, but at night or during the day when I came home from work, he will curl up in my lap and wants to be loved on. Not something u asked about but he is also great for guarding my house and kids but not aggressive.
- Wow, you practically spelled it out! Get a Siberian Husky. They are medium to large sized dogs, very beautiful, need lots of exercise (very active) and require a lot of attention. They shed A LOT though, but you already said you don't mind shedding.
- On the animal planet website there is a dog breed selector that asks about 20 or so questions about living arrangements, activity level, grooming, etc and then gives you matches on the breeds with a % and pic.
- german shepherd hello!!! they are the best great companions and very protective. they are eager learners though sometimes they can be stubburn. they are very acttive and love being outdoors as well as indoors on your lap if you want a dog thats about a 100 lbs on your lap of course
- Golden Retriever
Cocker Spaniel
Beagle
Labrador
German Shepard
Dalmation
siberian husky
Samoyed
I would go for either the golden retriever, the labrador, the cocker spaniel or the samoyed :) All are very very cute and have energy:) - Definitely an Australian shepard! they are sweet and loyal like a golden retriever and they'll adore you for being active or big yards! They're beautiful and easy to train.
- A Rough Collie(lassie)! That's what I have. He seems like just the right dog for you. Very attractive dog.
- Get a shelter dog. There are plenty of needy dogs and puppies at your local pound. :)
- Collies are very social. Just look at Lassie.
FACT: Average life span of a collie is 13-15 years.
There is much grooming to be done. One brushing a day is recommended. Most loyal breed I have heard of. VERY smart and fun to train also. I highly recommend getting a Rough Collie. www.bluridgecollies.com always has a litter available if you cannot find one at a shelter. NO "E" IN WEBSITE ADDRESS! I DID NOT MAKE A TYPO! Although, Blue Ridge Collies IS another breeder. Search all shelters near your before going to a breeder. Save a dog, make a friend.
Also, I recommend collie mixes.
IMPORTANT: Do as much research as possible on the breed you choose, whether it be a collie or not. - A - G O L D E N - R E T R I E V E R ! ! ! ! ! !Golden Retrievers are the best, I have one and it is definitely energetic cute and very handsome or pretty when they grow up.
1. Large dog.... CHECK!
2. It isn´t ugly....CHECK! (its actually beautiful.
3. It does shed, but not that much....CHECK! I have one!!!! And he is a very beautiful puppy!
He is also not agressive!
