What kind of small/medium breed dog should I get?

I want a dog that is small/medium breed. A dog that is laid-back, quiet, and loves to snuggle, but it is comfortable with walking or running 2 miles a day.

What kind of small/medium breed dog should I get?
CHECK OUT THE BREED CALLED". BEAGLE" THEY HAVE SO MUCH GOING FOR THEM THEY CARRY NO ODOURS,DON'T BARK UNLESS NECESSARY.,VERY LOYAL,LOVE A WALK/RUN, THEIR COAT REQURES NO ONGOING CLIPPING/GROOMING AND THEY "DRIP DRY" IN MINUTES NO EXPENSIVE ONGOING SALON TRIPS!. THEY ARE FINE WITH KIDS TOO! HAVE NO KNOWN GENETIC- BRED- FAULTS (LIKE SOME OTHERS FOR EXAMPLE HIP DISPLASIA PRONE FAULTS) THIS BREED IS HEALTHY . THEY ARE MEDIUM SIZED CAN'T TRIP OVER THEM AND NOT FUSSY EATERS LIKE SOME SMALL BREEDS.
Reply:definately a dauschound!! they are very energetic and love to run!!! but also love to lay around and snuggle.and they are normally very quiet unless they are disturbed by something or someone they cant identify.hope I helped
Reply:well, if you get a puppy, theres no way your getting one that is laid back and quiet. they need to play and get out energy, so if you cant handle that, you shouldnt be getting a dog. but i recommend a poodle, i have one. if you want a small dog, i recommend a miniature, because there is teacup, toy, miniature, and standard, that is in order from smallest to largest. i have the mini. they do not shed, and they are very, very smart, second smartest dog to be exact. they were originally hunting dogs, so dont think poodles are these prissy little dogs that dont do anything, like people say. they would be comfortable with running even more than 2 miles a day. they are very energetic, but they also like to snuggle with you, and i even let my dog sleep with me. the standard prob. wouldnt be able to sleep with you, its pretty big. so again, i recommend a mini poodle, they are good for soo much!


God Bless!


(ps- dont get a white one if you do, they get dirty to easily, and they get brown spots around their eyes, i recommmend a black, brown, or red.)

Mutts love to snuggle and shelter dogs somehow know you saved their life!

He is feisty but loves to be petted and will set for hours with you. He can be a bit head-strong and he loves to run.





Friends of mine have Basenjis and love them dearly

Good luck
Reply:One of my neighbors has a German Shorthaired Pointer that she jogs several miles with daily. They're a very energetic breed if they don't get that kind of exercise. Dalmatians are the same. Australian Cattle Dogs fit your specs. The Brittany Spaniel I know would benefit from that kind of exercise though I'm not sure if he's typical for his breed or not since he's the only Brittany I know. A bit bigger, you could consider Boxers, Border Collies, or Australian Shepherds.
Reply:A Greyhound sounds like a good dog for you. If you are interested in this breed, I suggest you adopt one from a rescue, especially if it is an organization that takes them off the race course.
Reply:greyhound rescue will have your new friend, check them out.
Reply:well my favorite are teacup miniuture Yorkies.


their adorable :]
Reply:first I would say look at a shelter. There are a lot of great dogs in shelters plus the people working there can give you some great un biased advice on particular breeds/combos (unlike a dog breeder). Some breeds that I would suggest would be...beagle; basset; cocker, brittany, king cavalier or sussex spaniels...
Reply:A whippet
Reply:Whippets are cool, but they can be kinda nutty.





Beagles are great, though they are less likely to run for long distances - they catch a whiff of something interesting, and stop on a dime to sniff! Also they are occasionally pretty vocal.





You might check into some kinds of medium-size terriers.
