Depends on your lifestyle and family and if you want a toy, small, medium, large, or extra large breed of dog. I would suggest going to a shelter and speaking with an adoption counselor and they can help you pick a good breed for your family and lifestyle. Also any breed you think you may want please research it first and read both the pros and cons of the breed so you know ahead of time what you are getting into. I have several breeds I like I currently have Chihuahuas and Boxers. In the past I have had English Bulldogs, Malamutes, German Shepards, American Eskimos, Huskies and several mixed breeds. And my family has had Poms, Doby's labs, to name a few. I foster for our local shelter so there has been many breeds in and out of my home. All 4 of the dogs in my home right now are currently ours we have no fosters right now. Although there are breeds I am partial to I firmly believe each famly has to research throughly to find the right breed for them.

my Queensland Heeler is wonderful. When I got her at the animal shelter she was just seven months old. She already knew how to sit. She's very happy to meet people and she's smart enough to know that she's not to jump on them. She also knows that there is no point in barking at birds or people who just pass down the street, but she will point and growl if she thinks there might be an intruder. She babysits my new kitten and won't let him get out of the gate. When she jogs with me she stays on the right side, and doesn't get out in the road like my lab/rot does. In fact, my lab/rot has a lot of bad habits that Shela doesn't have. Shela is very loyal and is protective, but not overly so. She watches to see what my next move is, and always does what I tell her.
