*Do you want a dog that will be a good watch dog or guard dog?

We want a family dog


*A dog that you can do agility, flyball, etc with?

We would like one to be energetic enough to play out back


*Does it matter if the dog sheds alot?

No


*Do you want a breed known for it's obedience? Or would it matter if the breed is known to be quite stubborn?

Hopefully we can train him to be quite obedient


*Do you want a breed that is known to be quiet?


We would like a dog that would only bark or be aggressive through defense


*How much exersise are you willing to provide? Do you want a dog that you have to take for an hour long run everyday, or something that only needs a 20 min walk around the block? Couch potato?

Hoppefully a dog than can get enough excerise in the backyard
