Can anyone advise me what puppy I should look for? My criteria :
1. Obedience
2. Medium size breed
3. Companion to old people, watch dog and probably a little guard dog behaviour
4. Shedding and grooling minimal
5. don't simply bark
Anyone know of any? I used to own a 25 kg dog. The dog is too active and used to jump on old people and causes them to fall and injure. It is now been taken away from my house. Feeling sad and need a dog which can suit old people.
Pls advise . anyone? I have a few choices that I am considering but don't know whether suitable and where to get those.
Border Collie, Collie, Belgian Malinois, Corgi etc.
Hmm.... this is a tough one for me... but I'll advice you this, don't go for any sheepdog or herding dogs like clollies...... I watched a programme that said all collies will become aggressive when they lack excercise and cannot use their herding talent.... They will tear donw the house if not given the freedom of a park or run.....
I'll do some research for you and tell you later about other breeds.....

I own a border collie. A collie is very active and will need to excersice quite a lot. If you like it to be a service dog is not really bad but I think german sheperd will be much better. Collie is very intelligent. If not train properly it will cause a lot of problem. But once well train is a very good dog to have as guard dog, service dog, pet dog, sheep dog, etc just name it and it will do it. Border collie can be use for many purposes but mainly for herding. If you want to get a medium dog always check if their leg is fine and strong. A lot of dogs have hips problem and become limp or become disable.

Thanks for all the advice. I was thinking of German Shepherd now. Where can I get a good german shepherd and how much will that costs? I heard is quite difficult to maintain... in terms of grooming, skin problem, hip problem etc.
Have seen one in the pet shop but it is long haired and not sure whether it is a pure breed. Calling for RM950 without cert. I rejected it. Anyway, is female more obedient? this is what i heard.
Grooming for shepherd is not that bad maybe need to consider shedding of hair. Hips problem will need to check on the dog when you buy the dog. Most big dog have this problem. I think you can check in the newspaper to find out for info and also can call to MKA to get phone number for breeder.
