Dog Information

Which of these dog breeds do you think I should get?

The details: I am at work 8 hrs per day but do come home at lunch for an hour. I will take time off to spend extra time with the puppy when she's young. I live in the city, medium backyard, looking to go for walks and to play frisbee at the park every evening or at least every other evening. Prefer a low-shedding dog with minimal barking. Don't have any kids, planning on doing obedience training. Here are the breeds I have narrowed down to: - Canaan Dog - Entlebucher Mountain Dog - Miniature Australian Shepherd - Vizsla Any thoughts?? Thanks!

1. Miniature Australian Shepherd
2. i think you should get Miniature Australian Shepherd
3. none of these i think u sould get a boxer it is very protective!!!
4. I would go with a German Shepherd, but you don't have that on the list. Entlebucher Mountain Dog
5. i would get a wee jack russell, 2 b honest i dont know anythin about the breeds u mentioned, sorry :)
6. visla well dont get any big dogs because i dont no whetre u live but here in mississippi they are starting to ban big dogs so they might go to ur state 2 also dont get jack russels they are to wild and i cant get mine potty trained
7. If I could only pick from that list I will go with the Miniature Australian Shepherd
8. I would say the Minature Australian Shepherd because that type of dog will probably take most kindly to being left on it's own! Hope I helped!
9. The miniature Australian Sheperd is the best.
10. Vizsla.
11. what about a basset hound!!!! there really CUTE!!
12. I would get a poodle...they are ideal city dogs, very obedient, dont shed any hair and they dont bark that much, depending on how much space you have either a standard, miniture or toy. i think a miniture would be good as it is the "medium sized" poodle
13. By all means, the Miniature Australian Shepherd. Shepherds, especially the females, are the best dogs in my opinion...
14. Aussies shed all year round, but are extremely intelligent. Have you considered adopting a greyhound from your local race track? They are minimal barkers, pretty much trained from the minute you adopt them, are used to spending time in a crate (crate training rocks!) and love to romp and run in a fenced in area.
15. well which ever one you chose, get one from a rescue, that way you can say that you save your best friends life
16. They are all great breeds. Every dog is great in its own unique way. Canaan Dogs are the cutest out of the three i personally think. You should maybe try taking a trip down to your local humane society/animal rescue center. If you get a dog from there then you will probably save it's life. They are really sweet dogs. I am getting one from my local shelter. On staurday she comes home. They are normally housetrained, there are many different breeds of every shape and size imaginable. Please get a dog from your shelter. They are really great pets. They even know some tricks sometimes so that would give you a head start in training for contests as well. If you decide to adopt a dog from your local center then e-mail me at - emz250892@aol.com
17. Given those choices, I'd pick the Vizsla. Great temperaments, pretty quiet, but they do need to run. You might want to consider some of the Spaniels - I think English and Welsh Springers make great apartment dogs. They do need some grooming, but don't shed too much.
