    Yeah if she doesn't want to train it or exercise it much, good luck on it not being destructive. She definitely should not get a puppy of any breed they are a lot of work. Any puppy, crazy hyper working breed or not, will destroy things, that is what puppies do. I was thinking maybe a greyhound, it doesn't sound like they are as hyper as like a weimaraner, of course they would still need exercise and training. They need a fenced in area to run. They don't come across as hyper as sporting dogs to me, at least the ones I have met, they seem pretty mild mannered but greyhound owners feel free to correct me. Also they are very elegant and graceful. Whippets are a medium sized version I don't know if their personalities are the same though. However, a puppy is a BAD idea for her, so if she's against adopting a full grown dog, and she's not willing to commit to working with the dog she just shouldn't get a dog.

    I agree with y'all, but remember... 'Jane' refuses to accept not getting a dog. I hadn't thought of a greyhound or whippet. I don't know much about the breeds, but from what I do know that may be a good option. Definitely don't get a sporting/hunting breed!!! But for the most part, any medium/large breed of dog is going to require a good bit of exercise.

    If each pet we love takes a part of our heart and replaces it with a part of theirs, my heart is a very strange collection of pieces, but I wouldn't have it any other way


    Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go, and then do it. --Ann Landers
