    Great video. I've been looking for a new companion pup for about a year. Have tried to go through one of our local shelters. The process has become extremely difficult. I am disabled and find it very hard to get to the shelter multiple times having to depend on friends for transport.it's a shame, there is a dog out there missing out on a good home

      I’ m considering a greyhound. Though they are large , they sleep for close to 20 hours each day. Very quiet and contained.
      They wouldn’t be demanding of you physically... seem to need just the three walks a day unless you need a small dog with just paper pad training. Best o’ luck!

    I agree with shelter dog--everyone should go to a shelter if they want a dog. I have had or been around all he above dogs and the long haired takes money and ability to drive to groomer. You left out the short haired Dachshund which is a loving, adorable and loyal dog. I have had two as rescues and they were the best small dog and easy care if you look up all the facts about the dog and follow the advice. They let you know if anyone is approaching your home so good for safety also.
