Yeah, he's pretty good... still has bathroom training if ya know what i mean

I was talking to my friend about puppies and he said that he put his through training and he said it was a really good thing to do

Now he can take the dog to the park or for a walk and he doesn't need the leash, because the dog is so well behaved

I took my dog to obedience school and i would have to say it was the best money i ever spent on my dog..they tought me lots of things to help
with training that I found to be very useful...its worth it...

does anyone have any good ideas for a new dog..what breed to get and what to stay away from..

Depends are you looking for a large or small dog. Do you want a dog that sheds??

See my ex-girlfriend had a retriever and it shed a lot, but I loved it! I thought it was worth it anyway.

The only place I didn't like the dog hair was in the car because then it was always all over you wherever you went.

im looking for a standard size or a little smaller and preferably one that doesn't shed

Seems like the non-shed is a popular choice

for indoor dogs i would suggest a schnauzer, poodle, shitzu but shitzu really arn't that smart.
out door dogs i would suggest a shepard, labs, golden retriever and rottweillers....But if i had to make decission on one of these dogs i would pick a Poodle, they just have the full package..hope this helps

If your looking for a dog that doesn't shed then a poodle would be the best choice, a black one of course. they are one of the smartest dogs in the world.

So i guess Poodles are the dog of choice here. Well right now im deciding between a schnauzer and a poodle, but I think I might get a poodle thanks for the info. Now the challenge is finding a breeder in my area.

Don't forget there are mix breeds of poodles as well like schnoodle which is a schnauzer and poodle and Rottle which is a rottie and a poodle

I've been hearing alot of good things about these hybrid breeds. Some people are saying less problems physically and some say smarter.

The reason why most of them say that is there is a very slim chance that they will have genetic defects with a hybrid or crossbreed. When you have a pure breed there is a very high chance for genetic defects and imbreeding

The one thing with pure breeds is you know what type of temperment you are going to get with a hybrid you never know

Yeah that's true.. when they are mixed you never know what you're going to get!
