medium sized dog, low key and obedient?

well wat about a french bulldog? :)

or wat about checking out adoption. There are so many dogs that are killed in high-kill-facilities every day and most of them have done nothing wrong, they just have no home. I would suggest going to a pet rescue or a pet shelter and bisit dogs that they have there. I volenteer at a pet rescue and all the dogs there are so nice, they are probably the best dogs. They are all waiting to start a new life with new families, all they need is a chance. But its your choice.

Hope this helps. :) good luck

Borders are bigger than 25 lbs, and can easily jump a 4' fence.

I'd have to say spaniel. English cockers are nice. American cockers tend to be overbred, and it's hard to find one with a decent temperament, but if you look it can be done.

I would advise shelters and rescues, that way you know if the dog is a fence jumper, maybe partially trained, you know if it's attentive, ect. There are many young dogs available, try the breed rescues too.

Boston terriers are low- key, medium- length and occasional upkeep, grooming clever. you may additionally seem on the Bichon Frise, the Miniature poodle, French Bulldog or the Whippet. of direction, a number of the main suitable canines each are the mixes you rescue from the interior of reach look after. in case you will discover out what the combination is, and you in many circumstances can those dayss, you may seem the breeds up on line and spot their characteristics- length, temperament, well-being concerns, etc. by mid- length, i'm assuming you mean decrease than 40 lbs.

In most areas they do have leash laws, so that's a non issue. There are plenty of beagles up for adopting at http://petfinder.com/

Rescue one and save it's life.

this is what i do. I watch Dog Town
