I've found it nearly impossible to train my Italian Greyhound. They hate the cold so refuse to go outside if the weather is bad. I've carried them outside and stood there and they run back to the door. I've been on my hands and knees this morning looking for dog pee. He's been hiking his leg on the side of my sofa. Geesh. He's too old to discipline.

You mentioned no shedding...have you considered a bearded collie? Medium sized, no shed(hair), wonderful temperment, very intelligent, also in the herding family.

They are suppose to have a smell that attracts the dogs yet people can't smell anything. The dogs all won't pee anywhere in the house but there on the pads, when they are not outside. Males are hyarder to train because of leg lifting but try the pads. I use vinegar and water if there is an accident with a new dog I'm boarding. It kills any pee-pee odor and the stain too....They also have larger pee-pee pads.

Daisygirl Member Registered: 08/25/05 Posts: 1052 Loc: Ohio	Kelly, you gave good advice. Lots of people say they are interested in getting a weimaraner because they are beautiful dogs, but I always tell them that they are a handful and they also need a job or to be allowed to run every day if possible. If they get bored, they will eat the bark off of a tree, or a bush or the trim of a shed, or your favorite shoes. Then they end up in a shelter. Whatever breed you are interested in, you should talk to several owners, research AND realize any puppy will require a lot of your time and attention and will be a handful until they're 2 years old at least.

Lynn Member Registered: 06/26/03 Posts: 621 Loc: pennsylvania	Thanks for all the great interest!!! We have decided on a sheltie after doing more research on temperment. Our shelties in the past have had a little border collie mixed in. So both breeds where on the table but the herding instinct and the repeated warnings about giving the dog a job to do rang true. Now all we have to do is wait until we find the right one. Lynn

Kelly L. Adams Stone Member Registered: 04/08/03 Posts: 267 Loc: Florida	I forgot to mention on my last post that I have a couple of articles online about dog selection and how to go about it at Garden and Hearth-- http://gardenandhearth.com/FamilyFun/adopt-dog.htm and http://gardenandhearth.com/FamilyFun/myths-dog.htm Certainly not a comprehensive overview but it gets the basic info out there, so feel free to refer people who are "shopping" for dogs to those articles. Best, Kelly
