You would need to provide more information as to your life style, living arrangements, and your preferances as far as big, little, long hair, short hair...things of that nature BEFORE anyone could suggest a "breed to get"...Good luck

depends on what size the dog is that you want if he/she is small something like tinkerbell would do i guess i have big dogs one of them is a Caucasian Shepherd his name is sparticus i like to associate big with warrior like names and small with more cute names i guess?

first of all I hope your ready for the commitment. there isn't really the best dog its usually how the dog is brought up and the nature of the dog that determines how good it is, Id say beagles are good dogs as they are loving loyal kind obedient and very trustworthy.

You need to research what dog is best suited to your lifestyle before you rush into anything. It is important what to look out for when looking at puppies regarding the way they see themselves within the pack. This will give you an idea what they will grow up like and how they will behave in your home.

I personally love Labrador Retrievers and I have owned tons of different breeds prior. But now I would never be without one. But it all depends what you want, your lifestyle and how much dog experience you. Some breeds are stronger/more dominant and should not be owned by inexperienced dog owners. Maybe should visit your local animal shelter and spend some time with all the dogs and see what you like best. Also you have a wide range of breeds sizes and care needs. Plus you will be giving a dog a home and a second chance.

I agree with the other people . It really depends on where you live and what lifestyle you live .m Like if you live in a apartment , you should get a small dog like a yorkie, but the worst thing to do is put a bigger dog in a small space where it doen't have space to run. But if you live in a houst that you own and nice big yard you should get a larger dog , it is all your choice. But please don't buy a pruebred, they have issues and behavior problems. You should go to a shelter and look at all the dogs and then ask the people what type they would choose. Hope This Helps!

if u are trying to decide what kind of dog to get, you should research the breeds available in your area. I really reccomend getting a book on different types of dogs. I did before I got my dog (just this past monday) and it helped. If you can't think of any names before you get it, wait to see how it is in person, then name it. good luck

What kind of dog?The Discover Dogs section at Crufts is a great way to find out what kind of dog is best for you - but it won't happen again until next year. We went this year and had a great time walking around and seeing all of the different dogs. You can talk to the owners and find out what the dogs are like. Maybe there are other dog shows you can go to?Seeing all kinds of dogs and talking to dog owners is one of the best ways to find out what kind of dog to get because you can compare your situation to theirs and see if what works for them will also work for you. It also depends on what you want from a dog and how big/small you want, whether you have children, whether you want to spend a lot of time in exercise, training and grooming and the size of your house and garden.What should you name it?If you don't already have a name in mind, for fun you could follow the Native Americans rule for naming. Let the dog name itself through its behaviour, features, colour, idiosyncracies, etc., ie, 'Indigo Eyes', 'Dances for Pancakes', 'Slipper Thief'...Best of luck to you with your search!
