I've had my dog for 8 years and there have been no big vet bills besides his annual check ups/vaccinations and stuff. French Bulldogs are really cute. I'd be worried about the terrier being higher energy but I'm not an expert on them so you'd just have to do your research.

Not a fan of little yappy dogs but this pupper is absolutely adorable.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Yeah man, save a pupper. It's a good feeling when you look into a dog's eyes and know you saved its life.

I adopted my dog (lab/pit mix) when he was a year and 1/2. I knew exactly what I was getting. He's perfect for condo living. Very low energy couch potato. He gets walked in morning and night and taken out for a quick pee around dinner time. He only needs a little bit of play and he's happy.

Not really sure of dogs that don't shed except for poodles and labradoodles.



People should only get GSDs if they're going to work them. They need brain work.




They shed like crazy. Used to pet sit one.
As far as I know pretty much all of the wirehaired breeds don’t shed, which leaves quite a bit of options. Of course, most of them are probably terriers so for people who aren’t suited for terriers the options drop significantly. I used to have a wire fox terrier and now own miniature schnauzers and they never shed. To keep the coat wiry you have to strip them, but even if you use clippers for grooming and the coat becomes soft they still won’t shed.
