house style

house member
Father - I don't care, I don't care, I just don't get too busy. I don't like or hate Even though take to feed Don't let it mess up inside and outside.
Mother-likes, wants to raise, can help raise
Older brother - coming in the same style as father But it won't be that indifferent. If adopted, they will play. Prefers to play in a prank or joke more.
We're freaking out. You can take whatever breed you like.
Normally, at home, we all go to school and go to work early in the morning. If we don't have any special classes, we will return home around 4:00 or 4:30. But if there is a special class, I will return with my mother around 7:00 p.m. Depends on traffic There is a treadmill at home. I've heard that dogs can run on the treadmill (is it true?). Rarely go out on weekends.
purpose of raising
1. Lonely, bored, don't do much during the day. We are quite addicted to our phones and get scolded a lot. If it comes, it may be less stuck.
2. Staying at home is not busy with anyone. like that the private world is high So I want to come to solve the loneliness.
desired specs
1. Small-medium size
2. Do not exercise a lot.
3. Hair rarely falls Because my brother is allergic Parents may complain about hair loss. have to sit and clean
4. Take a shower at least once a week.
5. I don't want a dog with a brittle mouth. Anything that passes in front of the house barks. Father and brother are annoying people. Our village is a closed village. no problem with theft So I didn't raise them to prevent thieves.
6. I want a dog that is easy and comfortable to sleep at home. Not too lazy or too little moderately hyper do not destroy belongings can stay at home alone
7. Strong, able to play at a certain level, not weak, no problem with ticks and fleas moderately heat resistant
8. Not difficult to train, able to excrete properly
From what you’ve shared, a breed like the Maltipoo or Shih Tzu could be a great match—they’re small, friendly, don’t shed much, and are happy lounging around indoors. They also adapt well to quieter routines and minimal outdoor space. For light behavioral guidance, remote dog training tools can be a gentle way to encourage calm habits without overwhelming the pet. At Spotted Pet Supply, we carry thousands of pet products—from grooming gear to cozy bedding—all aimed at keeping your future pup happy, healthy, and relaxed.
Given your lifestyle and preferences, choosing the right dog breed is crucial for a happy home. Since your family has varying levels of involvement and your schedule keeps you away during the day, a breed that’s calm, trainable, and comfortable being alone for a few hours would suit best. While you’re looking for a small to medium dog with low shedding and moderate energy, it’s worth noting that English Lab puppies in TN are an excellent option for families who are open to slightly larger breeds with gentle, easygoing temperaments. English Labradors are known for their calm demeanor, intelligence, and adaptability to indoor living—even in homes without large gardens. They are typically easy to train, friendly without being overly hyper, and bond well with all family members. With proper grooming and early training, they can be a low-maintenance yet emotionally supportive companion, perfect for someone looking to ease loneliness while fitting into a busy household.
Great suggestions on dog breeds and it’s fun how conversations like this can be lightened with a bit of humor too just like Monkey Puns which always make for easy laughs in jokes.
