What breed of dog should I get?

Pretty much any breed with "spaniel" in the name. (Cocker, springer, clumber). Some are bigger, some are smaller. A springer would be good for you since you have so much room and they're good for first time owners. I assume you don't have a ton of experience but if you do then a Springer is still a good dog.

Also, boxers, shetland sheepdogs, labs, terriers (again some are bigger than others).

You can google "dog breed selector" and you'll get a list of quizzes designed to help you pick a breed. After asking several questions you'll get a list of breeds that match your qualifications. Then you can do some more research to find out which one is best for you.

Good luck and have fun!

You first really need to decide size. There's quite a size diff between a Jack Russell and a Great Pyrenese. Do you care about spit, with many of the larger breeds spit happens. Also make sure you check out what the dog was intended to do. If for example your not raising sheep (literally) a Pyr probably isnt for you. They Herd and guard flock and will bark at anytime. (lets predators know stay away) Aussies were bred to herd but can more easily have that instinct/drive directed elsewhere they are high energy.

Next time a Dog Championship is on take a look. You'll see a wide array of dogs and the announcers generally give a brief idea of what the dog was bred for.

In my revel in, the puppy breeds that are the least prone to increase human aggression problems are the Pug, Beagle, English Bulldog, and Boston Terrier. I have not relatively visible an illustration of any of the ones breeds that I might say had a significant aggression hassle, although I have met various anxious Beagles. Well-bred Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, and Greyhounds might be correct up there as good. On the opposite hand are the breeds that are definitely to be competitive. I have under no circumstances had a satisfactory revel in with a Yorkie. In reality, of the 50 or so Yorkies that I have encountered, I might say all 50 had a few style of aggression hassle. Chow Chows, Akitas, and Chihuahuas are correct up there as good. But, I might say that probably the most competitive puppy breeds are the quite a lot of breeds of Terrier from Scotland, the Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and Skye Terrier. Scotties and Westies in designated are very bitey puppies.

Hi!

I have an answer for you but this dog isn't a big breed. Its a small - medium breed.

I'm talking about the Japanese Spitz.

They love to exercise and have fun but if you want them to be calm and be a bit of a couch potato, they will gladly do so. Also, they can tolerate any weather and they are a lovely family dog.

They are also fairly easy to train.

Hm....... I know your thinking of a big dog. I personally prefer Golden Retrievers. They are extremely loyal and a fantastic companion. But feel free to do what you feel is right. Hope I helped a bit!

A nice dog, in my opinion, is a Golden Retriever. They're loyal and usually don't have a problem with barking. They're easy to train, potty train as well, and love to play and explore. They also love to play in the water and are usually pretty good with smaller children. They can get expensive if you want a AKC registered one. Although I might read up on if a golden retriever would be okay in Texas. A Labrador Retriever makes a nice substitute also.

Hopes that helps!

ha haa no afence samantha but St. Bernards are not medium sized dogs and they shed like hell! my dog is part St. Bernards and he is very hard to take care off...ok well i recomend maybe a boxer because they are very active and they dont have a very thick coat at all so that would be good...OHHH or a doberman! they are hudge and so cute! or or or a lab!

well i hope i helped! *Cl:]

how about a boxer, very loving, loyal, energetic, they love to play and run. They will get overheated if exercising in very high temps, but they are great dogs. just avoid exercising when it's 90+ which you should do anyway. :)

I think a Golden Retriever would be a great dog for you. They are loving, smart, calm, and obedient.

ENGLISH BULL TERRIER funny very energetic, and dog friendly, and gets along with kids.
