Whats the best dog breed to get for first time owners2007-11-25 2:53:54

-terriers in general are more active and more independant. They require at least 45 minutes of active play and running and are less clingy to their owners.

-hound dogs are among the most active dogs. Ideal for someone who wants to go running with their pet and is a very active outside person.

-Labs and retrievers are great companion dogs if you want a large breed dog, loving, affectionate, and playful. Just make sure you have somewhere for a 75lb dog to play and sleep.

-Mutts, you could also go to your local shelter and find a lovable pound puppy that is in need of some love. You do not need to pay the $400-$2000 for a pure breed dog if all you want is a pet. These animals are just as sweet some times more and you may just fall in love there.
