Answer 2

Mini australian Shepherd

Answer 3

well it really depends on your lifestyle, but guessing from this question, i assume your mother doesnt want a big manly dog like a rottweiller, mastiff, or boxer. i am also assuming you dont want a small sissy dog like a yorkie, maltese, or shih tzu. so i would go with a beagle, a shiba inu, or a basenji

Answer 4

Beagle  

Answer 5

I think you should get one by your family's daily life

Ask yourself these questions first...

Will you have time to play with it?

Will you have money to pay for its shots and supplies?

What kind of breed is good for our family?

Is your house fit for a dog? / wires/wood tables/boxes?

WIll you have time to train it?

It sounds by me you just want a dog just for fun and you think when you buy a dog its already trained. Well gues what its not all that stuff you will ahve to do by your self if you don't train it right your probley going to give it away. Sorry not to be mean but you have to do lots of reseach before you make this comentment. HERE ARE MY LISTINGS!

HYPER NOISY DOGS/ Yorkies,Jack russells,Chihuahua's, basicly small dogs.&& terriers

Alert Dogs; German shepherds,Beagles,Labs,GoldenDoodle,Husk... ,Border colliesetc..

Non sporting Dogs ;Shiba inu,Shih tzu,American eskimo dog, Pomerainian,Pug etc..

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

My personal opinion is to get you an australian shepard. They are hyper as a pup but turn out to be very good dogs. Very easy to train, and they really love to go swimming.

Answer 8

Some questions to ask yourself and your parents:

1. How much time each day can you and they dedicate to caring for a dog? This will determine if you should get a low or high drive breed.

2. Do you like to groom every day, once a week, once a month, pay someone else to do it?

3. Are you or anyone in your household allergic to dogs? These two questions will help you decide on whether to look for short coated, double coated, long haired or short curly coated breeds.

4. How much of a budget can your family allot for vet care? Some breeds are more prone to health issues than others.

5. How much space and what sort of containment area do you have for a pet? Will the dog be kept indoors or out?

6. Do you mind dogs that like to dig or bark often?

7. Do you want a pet that is friendly with other people or one that is very protective and reserved with strangers?

8. Do you want to compete in any events like obedience or agility, herding or hunting with a dog?

9. Do you want a dog that trains easily or one who is very independent?

10. Do you like a dog who wants to fetch and retrieve or one who is content to do it's own thing?

All of these questions and many more will help narrow down what breed or mix of dogs will best suit your family.  

Answer 9

any kind of dog you fall in love with. try to get a dog from a shelter and be a rescue owner but if you want a dog from a breeder that fine too.

Answer 15

I would recommend getting a mixed breed. They are usually the most easy to train and control. They also don't have as much behavior issues. I'm not sure if you want a big dog or a small dog, but I have a Chihuahua Corgi mix and I love her to death. She's not like the average Chihuahua who's crazy, but because she's a mix she's calm, and was very easy to house break and potty train. And also to train in general. Whatever breed of dog you decide to get, I recommend it be a mix. Generally, mixes are cheaper than purebreds as well.

Hope I was of help!

P.S. I recommend putting out a Craigslist ad for your new pup. Then people will respond in your area, with the breed that you want. Or you can just put something along the lines of you wanting to adopt a dog in general, and you will get many responses.

Again, I hope this helped!
