It's always a risk, but mixed breed dogs generally have good temperaments, and you can get a good idea of a dog's exercise requirements from it's physique. I'm a bleeding heart I suppose, but I suggest your local SPCA. You can always "trade it in" if it turns out to be a horrible pet.

Who said a pugs are a girly-breed? I've got a black pug named Rufus and that little dude kicks butt. Pugs are awesome apartment dogs, too.

english bulldog
theres no other choice
if you find a quality pup for 1000-1500, let me know where
warning, vet bills can start to get pricey over the life of the bulldog.
btw, pugs arent girly dogs!! id like a pug as a companion dog to my bully, thats if i cant find a nice bully pup

My wife and I are looking for a good dog breed that fits our lifestyle. We both work, have no kids, and live in our own condo in the city. So we're looking for a dog that doesn't require a ton of space for exercise. We would also be first-time dog owners. My other requirement is no girly-dogs so no pugs, poodles, bischon frises, etc.

Our ideal would be an English bulldog since they are have low exercise requirements and make great companions. However pups from a breeder range from $1000-$1500.

Anyone with dogs have any suggestions?

Greyhound. They're the world's biggest lap dogs. They sleep like 18 hours a day, and a couple of walks a day is perfect for them. Plus they look fkn cool. End of thread.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Great lap dogs, extremely friendly, perfect size for a condo (the size of a cocker spaniel), little exercise is necessary, and they generally have long lifespans. They are somewhat expensive, however, usually ranging from $1200 to $1500 for a purebred.

If you're worried about the money aspect of it all, then why don't you go to a nearby animal shelter to find a dog that suits you and your woman? Not only would you be saving another life, but you should get some satisfaction out of knowing that you've made this world a little better. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Properly bred purebreds shouldn't have those problems (or have them as often), and you can get the papers or info or whatever from a reputable breeder. But what they do have - thanks to inbreeding - is certain favorable characteristics, such as intelligence.
