What are it's exercise requirements, are they uber intelligent and prone to get bored (this usually results in destruction of property). Are they great for a family or just one person? Also, are they a healthy breed? (Golden retrievers and labs are having problems with hip dysplasia which can run up vet bills) See, I love Border Collies. Love them. But I know taking care of one would be a full time job. They are very intelligent and need to be challenged all the time. That's why so many are in competitions and stuff. They need lots of activity. Seeing as how I'm lazy I wouldn't suit such a dog. There are other dogs that don't irritate allergies but I can't remember the name right now. Gah!

I love puppy pics. :) I have a Poodle, and love her to bits, so can highly recommend them. They're definitely good for people with allergies (my brother, who is very allergic to animals, can be around her indefinitely with no problems, and they don't shed at all! You just have to keep them brushed to prevent them bringing in dust from outside). She's also very, very smart and affectionate, and has never been destructive (unlike a friend's Scottie that chewed on some of my books once...). Plus I have a tiny yard like yours, and it's plenty of room for her to run around in. (She is bark-y, though) Carolyn is right that there are lots of Poodle rescue groups (I got mine as a freebie puppy at an arts festival, so have never dealt with them). I would definitely rec a miniature for a house like yours! Awwww, look at the puppy picture! I love puppy pics. :) I have a Poodle, and love her to bits, so can highly recommend them.

But you know me, we're pet central at my house. Pets give you so much in return, and I believe they're great for kids. too. If cost is a concern try checking for Poodle rescue groups. You might be able to adopt a dog who needs at home, and at very little cost. Most rescue dogs have been vetted for health and personality issues, too.
