| I do like labs. Maybe a tad too big though, and although every one I've ever come across has been overly friendly, they seem to have a tendency to get fat. |

Here's mine to start off:

Okay, and now for random corgis!
There are like billions of great corgi pics, they're just so damn hilarious looking and fun. |

| quote: | | Corgis have an undercoat of fine soft fur, with an overcoat of short, somewhat coarse fur. Their undercoat sheds continuously all year round, with extensive seasonal shedding occurring at least twice each year. There can also be extensive shedding of coat in females after the weaning of pups, after a heat, or when a female is spayed. Many corgi enthusiasts believe the volume of shed fur can be significantly reduced by feeding a quality food, and regular brushing is highly recommended. Corgis with longer, thicker coats and exaggerated feathering on the ears and backs of legs are commonly referred to as "fluffy" corgis or "fluffies". The fluffy coat is a cosmetic flaw; but while it is not permitted in the conformation show ring or in breeding females, fluffies are still perfectly fine as pets and performance dogs in obedience, agility, tracking and herding. |

Yes. But brush them and keep them clean, and you won't have all that much of a problem. I vacuum regularly anyways. It's hard to find hypoallergenic dogs, cockapoos can have that quality I think. |

There are very few breeds of dogs that don't shed at all. Those that don't shed much require grooming on a regular basis. If you don't want any dog fur anywhere in your house, then maybe a dog is not for you. |

Haha my friend has one of those and it is bad ass. It starts with his boxer all the time.
Also, my family has always had dogs that don't shed. I'm pretty sure the majority of terriers do not shed at all. |

Shiba Inus are also great dogs
| quote: | | A distinguishing characteristic of the breed is the so-called "shiba scream". When sufficiently provoked or unhappy, the dog will produce a loud, high pitched scream |
