The perfect dog for me is....?
 

Okay, here's the deal, I am thinking about getting a dog and plan to let it spend most of its time indoors. I want some feedback on types that you think would be the ideal pooch. It must have the following traits:
1) short hair (less clean up)
2) not a yapper
3) not a kick dog (ie miniature anything)
4) won't squat and pee on the rug everytime someone tries to pet it (my Cocker Spaniel was great for that)
5) has to like AaronM's dog Cayman
6) must be travel friendly for trailering

Thanks in advance!

jack russell terrier

have u are gonna be keepin it indoors alot, don't get a german shepard... it will destroy the place

shepard

You know, they are real good looking dogs and I have heard that they are quite smart. Is that the dog on Frazier?

weiner dog

My wife has always wanted one of them but the few we have known or even met out camping seem to bark a lot. I know you can get a dog debarked but I don't want to do that.

Yep, same dog. Hyper as hell. If you're a laid back person with nice shit (ie shit you don't want chewed up) DON'T get a Jack Russel.

i'll go for a labrador and shi tzu..:)

Thats what I am going to get!:thumbsup :thumbsup

Lets see...Labrador...Outdoor lover, water lover, bird hunter, outdoor lover, BIG dog, outdoor lover...What did I miss?

Unless you have tons of time on your hands, dont get a Jack. They are very smart animal and will destroy your home.

Hyper? Well that lets them out. I don't want hyper. If I did, I would bring Cayman into the house. Great dog, but as with most Labs, he belongs outdoors.
