Yesss I forgot about theseAnother I like are Tibetan terriers
I think they are great family dogs as well, don’t think I’ve met a nasty one. Not really a terrier either.Yesss I forgot about theselove them too.
I've just googled them, ooooh so cute!!! Definitely building up a list to show the hubby later.I think they are great family dogs as well, don’t think I’ve met a nasty one. Not really a terrier either.
Had a Google, gorgeous!!! Is it a very small dog?I’ve got a cavachon. SO CUTE. Doesn’t lose hair Very chilled. My BFF
Not very small. The size of a cavalier (if that’s any helpHad a Google, gorgeous!!! Is it a very small dog?
Schnauzers are fabulous family dogs and don't shed, also totally naturally hypoallergenic.Thanks so much everyone
We've literally just gone on what the kids liked the look of as a very first starting point, so thank you for the advice re frenchies.
I won't lie, the hair shedding is a bit of a worry as I like everywhere nicely hoovered....but it's part and parcel I suppose isn't it!! We're leaning towards a lab, as they seem to be the most reliable to train and we like they are a nice size. I would personally love a chocolate brown lab.
My friend has a beagle x, he is lovely but very sniffy as you say. He also cannot be walked off his lead at all as he would just bolt. We have heard labs are easier to train than some breeds which interested us too as we want to make sure we train a puppy the right way.
What breeds tend to molt less out of interest? We would ideally like a medium sized dog if that helps.
Oh Cavachons are lovely! I wish Cavaliers were cross bred more than Cockers. They are much better suited to family life.I’ve got a cavachon. SO CUTE. Doesn’t lose hair Very chilled. My BFF
Yes Staffies are great@37BBL
What about a Staffie? Great family dogs, don't think they will shed as much as some breeds.
Bedlington Terrier?
This sounds crazy, but avoid 'unusual' colours in breeds. And I put fox red labs in this category currently. They are too intensively bred to get to this point. And anything with a red cocker spaniel 🫣

Unhealthy?Yes Staffies are great
I love cavaliers but so unhealthy I don’t think I’d even want to get something a crossed with one!
They usually have bad hearts but also a lot suffer with other issues. Norway even banned the breeding of cavalier King Charles due to their health issues (along with bulldogs)Unhealthy?what do you mean?
Don’t they have problems with their brain as well due to in breeding? Something to do with their skullsThey usually have bad hearts but also a lot suffer with other issues. Norway even banned the breeding of cavalier King Charles due to their health issues (along with bulldogs)
Yeah chiari-like malformation (brain) and syringomyelia (spine) are two conditions that are common in them and they can have both, they believe CLM can be a cause of syringomyeliaDon’t they have problems with their brain as well due to in breeding? Something to do with their skulls
I thought so. It’s so sadYeah chiari-like malformation (brain) and syringomyelia (spine) are two conditions that are common in them and they can have both, they believe CLM can be a cause of syringomyelia
We have a poodle, her mum is a toy and her dad was a mini, she is slightly bigger than a toy. Fantastic family pet, she can run for hours, daft as a brush and smart (when there's a incentive to be). Not too clingy but loves cuddles. I also own a 7 year old brat!Had a Google, gorgeous!!! Is it a very small dog?

All I would say is don't expect no hair loss if you get a doodle type, when my dog was a pup she was dropping fluff everywhere! (Turns out its a thing but people pretend it doesn't happen) now she has her big girl coat she doesn't lose much, mostly notice it mixed with dust (joys of laminate).

I have to be honest, I wasn't sure about breeds, my daughter wanted a poodle so we got oneShe has lovely paws!!
Some of the suggestions here have definitely given us lots to go on. We're certainly not jumping into anything and want to make sure we do our research and have everything ready before we welcome a pup.
I think we are leaning towards a labrador, but haven't settled 100% on that yet x
