Hi Cody,

Welcome to the site, and thanks for sharing your opinion. Can you provide a link to those statistics about ...ers? I'd be happy to amend our info if a study of the facts calls for it. That said, this article only mentions that they are one of the more outgoing and friendly breeds, but I don't truly think there's a way to gauge which breed might be the friendliest. :)

This site is inaccurate. The ...er spaniel is reported to have bitten more people, especially children, than any other breed, they are reported as the most friendly here.

My wife is allergic to cats and long haired dogs. Does the Great Mountain Swiss Dog have a lot of hair and do they shed a lot. My wife is not allergic to beagles probably because of the short hair and oily fur. But, my question is whether the Great Mountain Swiss Dog has hair that is somewhat oily like the beagle?

Thanks,

Ralph

Hi Ralph,

Swiss Mountain Dogs have more coat than a Beagle and they do shed a bit. You can check out info about them at AKC.org. Just click on the link for breeds and follow the instructions.

Good luck in your search!

Hi John,

Choosing a dog breed is such a highly personal thing. I'd like you to take a look at our article on Dog Breeds. Near the end of the article there are two links to programs that can help you narrow your search down to breeds that suit your life style and expectations.

Once you have decided which breeds you want to look at, the next step is spending time with some breeders and their dogs. Take your time and get to know what each breed is truly like. So many people fall in love with the look of a certain kind of dog, only to be disappointed when the personality doesn't fit with their own.

I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and good luck with your search!
