It is easier said than done. Shopping for a perfect dog is not that easy. I am getting stressed out. It is hard to mix my wants and needs altogether. It is even harder to find love at first site. At first glance, some dogs are really attractive but close-up is a whole different story. I wondered if there is such thing as dog agent? Just like real estate agent, drive you around and show dogs. That would be awesome. On the other hand, the agent’s perspective about owning a dog might be the opposite, therefore I do not want to deal with agent. The less agent to sell stuffs the better.
Here are my criteria:
* Medium size
* Sporting, hunting, or herding group. I am not interested in those midget tiny toy dogs. Must know how to carry groceries to and from the car.
* Moderate to little shedding (prefer no shedding)
* Loyal, intelligent
Breeds are being considered: Labradoodle (little to no shedder), Welsh Springer Spaniel (moderate shedder), Irish/English Setter (average shedder), Field Spaniel, maybe Basset Hound (constantly shed), I like Gold, but they are known for heavy shedder.

What about a beagle?
