Whats the/a right/good dog breed?

I may get a dog in the future but i am not sure the right kind. My dad doesnt like to much hair or smell. It would probably live inside but i dont know what my dad would want. I like all dogs, so just tell me what you think. :)

Here is a good website for you: glowdog.com/bestdog

It will give you a short quiz to determine exactly what you want in a dog and then list breeds by their compatibility with the traist you've chosen. Each breed has a link that will describe the dog for you. It's a great place to start.

but you would have to go and see and ask whoever you will get it from. it all depends on the kind of dog

heres something for your family to keep in mind

You need to ask yourself, foremost, if you have the time, money, patience, and space for a dog. Keep in mind that dogs require regular vet care, daily excercise, a crate, lots of toys, good food and lots of attention. They also need TRAINING. All of that requires time and money. Are you prepared to dive into that and be a responsible owner for the rest of the dogs' life (which can be 15+ years!)? If it sounds too overwhelming, rethink your plans and consider a different animal.

That said...Write down what kind of dog you want. Do you want a dog with long hair? Do you want a dog that doesn't shed a whole lot? Do you want a lazy dog or one that has tons of energy? Do you want a big dog or a small dog? Do you want a dog that's likely to be protective of you and your home, or do you want a happy-go-lucky dog that loves everyone?

Once you've decided on the traits you want, go to www.akc.org and see what breed matches your 'wants'. THEN go to www.petfinder.com and see if there are any for adoption in your area. Adult dogs are GREAT to start out with because you already know what their habits and such are. You can get a purebred dog much cheaper than buying a puppy, and you don't have to go through the puppy stage---and you're saving that adult dogs' life. What's better than that? You can also look into mixes of the breeds you want...be careful with mixes and know what they're mixed with because they can turn out like EITHER breed they're mixed with. If it's a mix of two breeds you want, then it should be the perfect match for you!

If you can't find what you want at PetFinder, seek out a RESPONSIBLE and REPUTABLE breeder via akc.org. Do NOT buy from a Pet store or people who advertise in the newspaper, Craigslist, and so on. Reputable breeders do not generally advertise their puppies and so you'll need to contact them about availablility. They may have a waiting list but it is worth it---you'll save tons of money getting a well-bred dog from a reputable breeder than buying a cheaper one from someone who has registered purebreds, but didn't breed to better the breed, OR do the necessary medical testing to ensure their puppies are structurally sound and free of genetic diseases/deformities.

I would recommend a retriver.

A small breed does not necessarily mean a lap dog. Terriers were bred to hunt rodents and are extremely active. You might check out breeds like the pug or Boston terrier. Also, although a beagle is small, it's a hunting dog with a big voice. If barking bothers you, don't get a beagle. Go to the AKC website and you can research all the breeds there. Good luck!

I think minature schnuazers would be an exellent dog for you to get. They don't shed, they don't smell if you bathe them regularly, and they're usually good with kids and other pets (besides cats). Also they don't bark alot.
