that depends on your lifestyle. do you like big dogs or small? want a dog with a LOT of energy or a couch potatoe? want a dog for visual deterent or one that will flop down and expose the belly to any and all visitors?

long hair, short hair, or hair that is groomed. What activities do you like to do? How long are you typically gone during the day? ( some breeds require alot of exercise, some do not..) etc

there is always someone at home dureing the day and all throughout the evenin so the dog would never be left on its own. i dont want an aggressive breed, a friendly dog is always best. i would rather have a less energetic breed, as like i said it is a small house and i cant have a dog bombing round all the time. but id like to have a breed that enjoys walks and so on as i have a lot of land to wlak it on.

How about an English or Springer Spaniel? A Golden Retriever?

I would say Lab as they are very friendly, but more than a few tend to be energetic.

How about a Greyhound? I know a lot of British Greyhounds They make wonderful pets. They require minimal grooming. They're not energetic in the house, but if you let them out, they'll run their butts off. This is why their nickname is the 45 mph couch potato. As well, many Greys live nicely with cats as long as you train them correctly.
