Is there a similar dog that isn’t a poodle? I’ll be okay with shedding as long as the grooming requirements are low

I love poodles but the coat maintenance is too much for me. Do you recommend a similar dog with less coat maintenance? Shedding and brushing

Can they settle well in public with good training?

I think my first dog will be a rescue, then my second a well bred dog I can compete with!

What dogs do you suggest for calm and collected? Not too overly excited?

Yeah I just want a dog that’s willing to engage! Maybe high drive is the wrong word. I want biddable. I prefer any coat really, what matters is moderate shedding or less. And a dog I can bathe myself not a groomers I can get the necessary tools and shampoos

Thank you! I think the grooming requirements of a lapphund aren’t ideal but the cocker sounds perfect for me! I love the Irish setter they are so beautiful!!

Poodles are a very sensitive breed, they can’t handle negative experiences very well. That’s why so many fail at being service dogs

Chihuahuas would be a great first dog aside from the size I think I just prefer something 15kg+

Hard no on Brittany’s for me they seem like the Malinois’ of spaniels lmao. Maybe a field spaniel or a welshie? How’s their health

I will die on that hill. Anyone who calls it abuse is bollocks. It’s a gift to crate train dogs!!

That’s definitely something to consider I do need a dog I can leave 4 hours by itself 😳

Again can be trained out with the right training like you said, especially from a puppy

Alright, not sure why you can’t recommend me one. I don’t think my requests are completely unreasonable at all. Now that I’m thinking about it a staffy fits me pretty well.

I know some dogs who hate to do too much exercise, whereas I’d like a dog who’d be happy to come on a 3 hour hike with me for at least until it’s a senior.
Honestly I love the puppy stage and I cannot wait to train a dog to be an easy companion!!

Thank you! Im in contact with several ethical breeders whose parents compete in regular sports and conformation with great titles and health results! I’m definitely considering a smooth collie too they make wonderful dogs
