Dog Breeding facts

What do I Know asked:


I am interested in getting a dog. However I do not know much about the behaviors of some of the breeds. So honestly I want one who is sorta small. It would be nice if it didn’t need 24 hrs of attention. So maybe I am asking for suggestions.

I just moved into a 2 bedroom apt and would really like to get a dog. I like big dogs but the weight limit is 35lbs, I would like to get a dog about that size. I need to find a breed that will be ok in an apartment (lots of parks and such near by). Another major issue is that I need to find a dog that doesn’t shed much (pet allergies). Any help would be greatly appreciated : )

I really want to be able to see dog breeds compared with each other(in size). Does anyone know of something(not a website, although it would still be helpful)like a book, or wall chart?
I do not mean a normal dog book with information about dog breeds, I already have three of those. I want some way of comparing the size of different breeds, both height and structure. Thanks to all!

I want to get either a German Shepherd , a lab, or a Golden Reteriver.
I know their all really good dog breeds but my dad wants the one who sheds the least and they all shed a lot from what I hear.

So my question is does anyone know any ways to help control the sheding?

I’m researching to get a dog. I’d like a small to medium size breed that can handle 10 hours at home alone without destroying anything. It’s gotta be good with kids as well. If anybody has any recommendations, post your answer.
Thanks!

My roommate and I are looking to get 2 dogs. We live in Boston and are dog lovers. We think that two large dogs would be too much, and we are not too keen on little dogs, so does anyone have any middle-sized dog breeds that they recommend?
I consider a golden to be a big dog, and a chuiwawa to be small. We live in an apartment but are VERY active people. We walk everywhere and run three times a day. We live ten minutes from Boston Commons and go there almost every afternoon.

CP asked:


There was a local dog breed 100+ years ago that was bred to only have an undercoat, so its fur could be used like wool. (Sheep didn’t exist here) The breed is long extinct, and I’m looking for other breeds with only an undercoat.

My mom is planning on getting a dog but we don’t know which to choose from. We’re looking for an easy to take care of breed. Short-haired for instance…

Big but friendly type of dog…

Killing Time asked:


I work regular hours M-F. My daughter comes home around 3:30 so the dog would be by itself during that time. I like to run, be outside and go to the dog park. I would love to have a dog I could take everywhere. I want a dog to do those things with but also that will lay around at home too and not be all hyper all the time. Also, I dont want a dog that sheds a lot. I would love to have the dog inside and eventually, after training, have the run of the house all day. My thoughts on the breed are maybe labs, dobemarn, any bird dog types or maybe a mut from the pound??? Any suggestions?
