The bitch usually reaches 40 pounds and that is beyond my lifting ability. Hub might be able to lift that weight sans back problems. I need to consider the maximum I can manage. I followed your link. The "rage" response sounds unsafe for me or my grandchild. Ordinarily, Hub has been the alpha dog for decades. I can't risk a dog challenging his place any longer.

Beagles are energetic barky dogs. They're sweet, but a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes.

I should have added "quiet" dog to my request. I have a home office and I certainly don't need a chronic yapper disrupting phone calls. And I love quiet. A barker would be unloved very soon.
Thanks for the heads up.

The only breed I agree with here is the beagle. While Greyhounds are calm, they are not small. Also BullDogs can be very wild and have numerous health problems. I hate working with them when they come into my clinic. I am trying hard to think of a small calm dog and the closest thing I can come up with is maybe a Shi-tzu or a Sheltie.

The Shi-tzu showed up on the list that young fella gave me. I have seen good Sheltie's in obedience classes. I'm going to give them a look.
