How about one of these. Great temperament. Shedding isn't anywhere near that of a double coated breed. Great deterrant for thieves. This is our pup a couple months back. He's seven months now and is 90lbs or better. Good with other dogs, loves kids, loves attention, loves to eat.

What is your energy level? Are there small children around? How much time will you be able to devote to the dog daily? Do you want a jogging companion or a couch potato? Consider a dog that is already house trained, perhaps older. There is a breed out there just for you but I suggest a rescue.

I have 2 beagles for hunting dogs we had a lab golden retriever mix for a pet/extended family member but he passed away a couple of months ago, this would not be a dog for hunting it would be a family pet and companion would like it to be of the non shedding nature or at least very little shedding we have a fenced in back yard that gives good area to run but I would like it to be a dog that could be trusted off the leash when not in the yard and must be of good temperment, we have no small children at home so that isnt an issue but we were thinking of something in a little smaller dog M&M

Stay away from the terriers or any of the hunting dogs if you want one that stays close to home. The only dog that will be trusted off leash is the one that is trained to be. That would be your job if someone else didn't do it.
Shih tzus or a mix are perfect for hangin' out lap dogs and don't shed but need to be clipped or brushed regularly because their hair grows constantly. I had 2 of them and they are great family dogs. Many dogs don't shed and any mix of those small dogs would nice. Just remember that anything that ends in terrier may be more energy than you want to deal with.
Most bad temperaments are caused by people.

I have lived with many breeds, all good(german sheps, dobs, spaniels..) Just got a great dane a year and a half ago and I am sold for life on this breed. Its no wonder they are so big, its all heart. Great with my kids aged 7months to 7 years and loves to go hunting too. Gets real excited when I say "wheres the bunny" LOL. If you have space they are awsome!!!

You got it!!! He's still has his moments, but he's only 7 months. Otherwise He is a great dog.mikej wrote:chris is that a bull mastiff ?
M&M: A couple breeds to consider; standard poodle, portuguese waterdog. Both very good natured breeds, highly trainable, and no shedding, but will need to be groomed(clipped) periodically.
There are many breeds that will meet your criteria. But it becomes a personnal choice. Each breed has a certain look and traits that come along with them.

The labradoodles and goldendoodles can be pretty low-shedding - depending on how close to their poodle side they're from.
I love my Airedale terrier, but they (like most terriers) are hunters and therefore aren't the best choice for off-leash. I work with Airedale Rescue and we see many in rescue for just that reason - they started running and didn't stop. A fenced yard is ideal. They can also be high energy dogs with a "prolonged adolescence". If you have a good sense of humour they are a great dog - its almost like they enjoy making you laugh with their antics. Fun, lovable and loving, great with children, very much "people dogs" that need to be around their people. They don't shed much, but do need to be groomed/clipped a several times a year.

thanks for all the suggestions I like the goldendoodles but they can get quite expensive another one that we like is the puggle it is a cross between a pug and a beagle although they do shed some, but my wife really likes the puggle so we are going to look at one this evening we will se how that goes M&M
