Hello.
I'd like to get some breed suggestions. I am looking for
a companion dog - doesn't have to be a "velcro" but friendly and playful
small to medium sized
minimal to low shedding
easy to housebreak - heard it is more difficult for some breeds
low to medium energy level - can do 30 min to 1 hr exercise daily
From what I read, poodles (toy or miniature) fit my requirements, but I'd like to have a couple more options and decide among them. I also read retired greyhounds are good but they are too big for my taste. Not sure about their shedding, either.
I am considering either one from a (reputable) breeder or a rescue. I've never owned a dog, by the way.
Thank you in advance.
