breed?
So recently, i had to put my shih tzu to sleep. and my mom told me i could get another dog. Now i want a medium sized dog, who doesn't shed too much. But im lost on the type of breed to get. I had an australian shepherd, or a basenji. But i'm not quite sure, any suggestions?

maybe a cocker spaniel. they are adorable, sweet and playful.puppys can have a tad bit of exess energy(like most dogs), but they aren't as crazy as a jack-russel.

Unless you live in an apartment, or anywhere else without a yard, I would recommend a border collie. They're amazingly smart, loyal, and eager to please. Our border collie, Dizzy, is a shoo-in for the greatest dog in the world. She's easy to teach tricks to, doesn't have social problems, minds perfectly, doesn't tear up the house when we're gone, doesn't bark needlessly...AND she's a pretty dog.
Granted, she was an awful puppy. But once we got through about the first 6 months, she became the best dog I've ever had. They need things to do to stay occupied and not destructive, so you have to spend time with them so they don't get bored. They love to learn, they love to work, and LOVE to run.
If you do live in an apartment, you can still have one provided you are willing to walk it daily. We got her as a puppy when we still lived in an apartment and we got through it just fine. The hardships of her having abandonment issues (she was a pound puppy,) us being at work all the time, and being in a confined space were tough at first, but it was worth it and we'd do it again and again a thousand times over.

I agree with her below. I have a Yorkshire Terrior and she is the best dog I have ever had. Also, my dad has a Chocolate Lab and she is the sweetest dog you could ever want. Their very protective and they are trained easily.

A Yorkshire terrier. Of course I am partial to them having 2 myself. Most of them are small dogs. However, you can get one cheap or free in a lot of cases if a breeder gets one that is a little large. They are considered undesirable by those wanting the little purse puppies. I have the larger ones. They won't fit in anyone's purse but they aren't large dogs at all. The big plus is they do not shed at all. :)
