Looks lovely, but we had a Beagle/Basset and it was Mr Thickie Mc Thick. He only failed to win the Stupidest Dog in The World Contest because he forget to send in the form!

Are we talking straight off the puppy farm  or rescue here  (not that I'm in any way biassed as you can see but all my dogs have come by one route!)? It's easiest with the latter to let the dog(s) choose you! If there's a Dog's Trust Centre somewhere near West of [REDACTED] they'd be happy to have you give a few a test run.

I'll never go to a puppy farm, though I will take a pup from a litter where the bitch lives with the family. Most, not all, of my dogs have been rescue dogs and we may go that route or look for an older dog needing rehoming.

I recently had my first experience with a greyhound of a certain belgian breed. It was a female and much smaller and not so meager-looking than I had pictured greyhounds. Her owner said she has a beautyful temperament, no yapping, quite and cuddly like a cat but yet obedient. I'm not a big fan of dogs but that experience almost made me want to have one of those.

For me it's a Labradoodle[^]. Smart, loyal, little to no shedding, no yapping, great for families. However, they need to be groomed periodically.

Well that takes you as far north as Newcastle (the real one, not the sh*tty one near Stoke), across to Amsterdam or Brussels, as far south as Le Havre, most of Wales, and almost exactly to Exeter.

If you want a cheerful and pleasant dog with low demands that's peaceful to everyone including other dogs you should consider a Bichon Frise.
Among the drawbacks are that they can be difficult to housebreak, separation anxiety, and being looked down on at the local water hole.

I am always a little nervous the of Jack Russel, as from experience they Yap constantly, jump up constantly and get under your feet. I have always liked bigger dogs as they don't. just my tuppence worth!.

From my experience Jacks are intelligent and loyal and the majority are not yappers; neither of mine were. Though one was an recidivist, with little or no redeeming qualities*, they are great little dogs.
